Evaluating the Impact of Transport and Logistics Potential on International Trade

The primary focus of this study is to quantify the transport and logistics potential that influences effective international trade.Utilizing an integral assessment method, an analysis of key indicators contributing to this potential was conducted, resulting in the computation of eight coefficients.The pivotal finding of the study reveals a decreasing trend in the transport and logistics potential of enterprises, with predictions suggesting substantial declines based on the novel methodological approach employed.A comprehensive evaluation of the transport and logistics potential of enterprises was executed, and the results are subsequently discussed.This evaluation led to the determination of an integral indicator of transport and logistics potential, forming a dependency matrix that underpins the research findings.The novelty of this research lies in the unique methodological approach to assess the efficacy of the transport system management within business structures, emphasizing the coordinating and integrative role of logistics.This pioneering approach marks one of the first applications for evaluating transport and logistics potential in the context of international trade.Future research should address the optimization of transport and logistics potential to attract new trade development investments.However, this study's scope was limited to Ukrainian enterprises, thus future research should consider expanding the sample to include enterprises from neighbouring countries engaged in international trade with Ukraine, such as Poland and Romania.
