The role of IT systems in strategic management and building competitive advantage of companies in the logistics industry

Summary/Abstract: The rapid development of the IT industry is a fact. Digitalization covers practically all areas of enterprises and the full spectrum of their processes. IT systems are usually treated as a tool to achieve a specific goal, relatively rarely is there any talk of implementing IT systems as an element of strategic management. However, it should be borne in mind that, given the key impact on organisations, the implementation of an IT system should be treated as an important element of strategic planning. The literature on this subject is relatively modest, and the author target of this science work and publication has aimed to analyse to what extent the implementation of an IT system (and why) should be treated as part of strategic management. The research problem presented in the paper was solved, among others, by a critical analysis of the literature concerning the area in question, in selected elements supported by an analysis of available statistical data.
