Improving the Management Mechanisms of Transport and Logistics Enterprises in the Context of Globalization

This study examines the improvement of management efficiency in transport and logistics enterprises under conditions of globalization and dynamic external environments. National indicators show rapid transformation, driven by expanding international trade, intense competition along transport corridors, the integration of digital technologies, and tightening environmental standards. However, traditional localized optimization of logistics operations is often insufficient, necessitating a systematic and integrated managerial approach. Using a mixed-method research design, this study proposes a five-block conceptual model for managing transport and logistics enterprises, integrating external environmental factors, management subjects, functional mechanisms, objects, and adaptation blocks. The findings highlight the digital-information basis as the core framework for aligning management mechanisms, while incorporating ESG criteria as cross-cutting principles across all operational directions. Furthermore, the study introduces a scenario-based approach to address external economic instability and applies a combined performance assessment framework utilizing OTIF, transit time, logistics costs, TLGI, and ESG-KPIs, prioritized via the Analytic Hierarchy Process. The proposed conceptual model and methodological tools serve as a robust theoretical foundation for enhancing the adaptability, resource efficiency, and international competitiveness of transport and logistics enterprises.
