The dynamics of these changes continues to increase thus affecting the efficiency and effectiveness of current concepts and logistics solutions. There are new needs and new opportunities that dictate the need for a new view and constant transformations of logistics concepts and operations.

Workers and managers in the logistics industry face new challenges, which also imply other than the long-term perspectives of enterprises. Forecasting the development of logistics is neither easy nor simple, it requires not only to perceive new prospective circumstances and challenges for logistics, but also their multifaceted analysis, understanding of mutual implementation and impact. Despite the extremely large scale of difficulty, this seems to be a necessary action, not only because of the growing competitiveness in global markets, but mainly because of the requirements posed by the modern world for the leaders of logistics. We may not be able to predict exactly all conditions of functioning of logistics, but we can sensitize the future logistics managers to them, and indicate expectations of their knowledge, competence and the ability to cope in new dynamically changing conditions of logistics functioning.
