Journal Title: Barometr Regionalny. Analizy i Prognozy - Year 2018, Vol 16, Issue 4
Abstract
The development of the modern economy depends on the efficiency of complex global logistics chains. Logistics employs modern management and telematic technologies, whereas knowledge management is the basis for growth of efficiency and effectiveness of logistics chains. A particular role is played by the universities which educate the future workforce for the Transport-Forwarding-Logistics (TFL) sector. Based on the data from the POLON system, it may be concluded that logistics education is common, especially at the economic and technical universities. According to the Polish statistical data, the graduates find jobs very quickly, whereas their remunerations are higher than the average. The activity of universities in respect of research and education for the purpose of logistics is a factor in the growth of competitiveness of this economy sector. However, it is necessary to improve the study programs, using knowledge of practitioners and results of scientific research.
