Background: The symptom of the market success by a company is to reach the expected market effects (e.g. market share, customer satisfaction, customer loyalty) as well as economic ones (e.g. profits, rentability, return on capital). As a result, the company may achieve a stable and long-term competitive advantage as well as strengthen its market position. Methods: The abilities to use existing resources, which play an important role in achieving a market success, can be divided into operational and dynamic ones. The logistics abilities are one of the most important ones for a company. The comparison of these two kinds of logistics capabilities are presented, compared and evaluated. Results: the role of logistics capabilities in achieving a market success by the company in light of the results of research carried out in the world, including Poland, was discussed, evaluated and confirmed. Conclusions: The influence of logistics capabilities on the market success of a company was confirmed. The development of an effective strategy and organization solutions in the logistics seems to be the most important process associated with the use of potentials (capabilities as well as resources and competencies) and leading to achieving a market success of a company.
Nowadays the concept of gender is analysed more often and more widely. Studies on gender touch upon various aspects which have previously been neglected or trifled. Gender is decoded in relation to as well as through many relationships and phenomena including education. It can be suggested that school reduces gender to its biological aspect or, to be more precise, does not go beyond biological differentiation trifling the social description of differences. Femininity and masculinity in our culture are perceived and defined by a dichotomic division. During their lives individuals realise that this gender binarism is a major feature diversifying people, neglecting other more important factors (e.g., habitus). This category of division makes individuals go through the process of socialisation in a specific way dependent on their gender. During this process an individual is socialized into a given gender; moreover, gender stereotypes become reinforced. School is an institution strengthening gender stereotypes (mainly in a hidden curriculum). This is due mainly to expectations towards abilities and skills connected with gender - girls are expected to be conscientious, to have humanistic abilities and a high level of verbalization. Boys, in turn, are expected to have predispositions to the sciences. Such expectations result in the marginalization of girls/women in subjects, skills and occupations defined as masculine. This phenomenon is a result of two factors: firstly, the mechanism of the internalization of expectations and the diminishing of abilities performed by the girls themselves, and, secondly, the attitude of teachers, who influence and shape their students' educational choices via their expectations and by using gender stereotypes connected with skills and abilities.
