Journal Title: Biuletyn Instytutu Morskiego - Year 1998, Vol 25, Issue 1
Abstract
A significant part of activities of transport enterprises concerns servicing the internal and external information flow. Exchange and processing of information appears in every sphere of activity of enterprises participating in land-sea operations. Results of numerous investigations show that every improvement of data flow has a marked influence on the economical results of enterprises and on improvement of their competitiveness. An important tool supporting this process are electronic techniques of information service, used more and more commonly in trade, transport, cargo handling, operator and other companies engaged in intermodal transport. Progress in electronic techniques generates a new market, determined not by geographic boundaries but by the reach of computer networks. Modern electronic tools provide for new marketing techniques, new types of access to information, goods and services, and for new forms of realising trade contracts, characterised by higher standard, higher quality and reliability. These changes are a significant challenge to all Polish enterp rises participating in land-sea operations. Political and economical changes started at the beginning of this decade resulted in disintegration of the monopolistic structures of large enterprises and initiated the process of formation of new companies, which forced them to make constant efforts to strengthen their position on the transport market, to increase the effectiveness of their operation, and to improve their competitiveness. The degree of implementation of information techniques in everyday operations of the enterprises is quite diverse. The quickest changes are proceeding in large companies, which were formed on the basis of fixed and financial assets of the previous enterprises, subjected to restructuring processes. Relatively small change occurred in these authorities which remained in the old organisational structures of central state authorities. Taking into account the present situation on the Polish and Eiiropean transport market, implementation of computerised information systems serving the transportation and handling of cargo in intermodal transport is the most looked for and profitable investment. Evaluation of the state of equipment in tools and of the degree of preparation of the enterprises to become connected into larger information systems is analysed in detail in this paper.
