This article presents research on the development of freight rates in Polish road transport in the next few years. This is very relevant for competition with German companies, as Polish road carriers possess almost 90% of the "Poland-Germany" and "Germany-Poland" transport market. Discussed are the reasons for and level of cost advantage, as well as factors influencing costs in road freight transport (e.g. wages, depreciation, maintenance, taxes, elimination of border controls with Germany, EU regulations and standards, technology, cabtage, human capital). It is concluded that it can be expected that, leaving highly volatile fuel prices out of consideration, during the next couple of years Polish road carriers are likely to keep their cost advantage compared to their German competitors.

Integrated Management Systems (IMS) are supposed to contribute to sustainable development. However, the moment a company only uses short term win-win situation to comply, the real contribution to sustainable development may be questionable. As trade-offs between sustainability aims and the company’s goals appear, companies may behave opportunistically, and externalize the elements which are difficult to fulfil in an IMS, e.g. by way of outsourcing. At such a moment, the IMS may function on paper, while the whole industry or logistic chain does not improve its contribution to sustainability. As a consequence, it may be necessary to assess the whole industry or logistic chain (logistic chain integration for IMS) regarding the impact of an IMS on sustainable development. After presenting the aims of the IMS and “the business case” for reducing redundancies and dealing with trade-offs, the issue of “externalizing” problems to parties outside the IMS is discussed. After a presentation of different solutions for dealing with this problem, some conclusions will be drawn.

In this article, the importance of physical infrastructure for reducing transaction costs and the use of transaction cost economics for analysing logistic chains is discussed. Transaction cost analysis facilitates the identification of frictions in the logistic chain, which is not only useful for improving its efficiency, but also to manage potential crises in these logistic chains.

In this article, after discussing the concept of transport systems and the importance of its sustainability, stakeholder theory and club good theory are presented as useful instruments for analyzing different challenges for the sustainabil-ity of transport systems. This approach goes beyond the traditional discussion on private vs. public ownership or pro-vision, and may better grasp the increasing complexity of transport systems. Stakeholders have different strengths and different priorities which may trade-off. This creates serious challenges for the sustainability of transport systems as well as its influence on the quality of life of different stakeholders. It will be argued that there exists the threat of transport systems to become a kind of club good by excluding parts of society from access and other benefits.

Beyond Resilience – new institutional economics, fragilities and indicators of unsustainability

Based on ideas and notions discussed in Nassim Taleb’s books The Black Swan and Antifragile, in this article it is discussed how theories from the new institutional economics can contribute to research on sustainability issues in different areas as well as corporate social responsibility. While sustainability is often considered from the point of view of resilience, the increasing complexity of the world requires to be prepared for unexpected challenges and unpredictable challenges which may lead to crises or system ruin. The focus in this article is on the identification of fragilities as the bottom line of sustainable development – their elimination may prevent ruin and support system survival. This is based on the idea that not only policy for development may be senseless when the possibility of ruin exists. In general, it is also easier to identify problems than possible improvements. The theoretical framework of the new institutional economics will be used to outline some opportunities and challenges for identifying fragilities and creating indicators of unsustainability.
