In 2002 as well as in the beginning of 2003 the TFL branch underwent considerable changes. First of all, one can notice the tendency to concentrate capital. Takeovers and/or mergers happened among some entities that decided to expand the scope of their activity, focusing mainly on highly profitable areas: messenger transportation and specialised logistics conducted on the basis of all the transportation branches. New, transformed international concerns: DHL (merger of DHL bought out by Deutsche Post, Danzas), the British Wincanton (takeover of P&O) as well as VOS Logistic (sale of shares of the investment fund in the transportation company Eu- road to the Dutch logistic concern) continue taking over of bigger and bigger part of the European market. These concerns have a strong market position also in Poland. One may conclude that Poland is perceived as an attractive European logistic market despite a relatively low level of transportation infrastructure. The above tendency is strengthened by consulting activity in the field of logistics undertaken by IT companies (e.g. IBM or SAP) whose position on the TFL market is growing stronger, in particular in the field of 4PL. Big consulting companies try to play a similar role. Another strongly noticeable factor is a progressing disintegration of companies. They try to expand the scope of outsourcing focusing on functions and processes they accomplish most efficiently (they are able to maximise the value added). Establishing of networks of co-operating companies accelerates innovation processes (e.g. innovation in products and technological processes) thanks to concentration of resources on chosen processes and specialization of actions. On the other hand, it requires skilful co-ordination of actions of the entities co-creating the value for an end user - int. al. organisation of co-operation among suppliers and participants in processes of designing and production of new products, skilful selection of innovative suppliers (ensuring also innovativeness of a receiver). Co-operation within the confines of a network requires also innovation in the field of marketing (e.g. changed principles of relations with clients, ensuring client service on competitive level etc.), in the field of the purchase function (optimisation of sources of purchase, modification of relationships with suppliers etc.), in the field of the logistic function (innovative ways of logistic client service, new principles of organisation of supplies, utilisation of new technologies in logistic processes etc.). One should also mention that innovativeness of a given network of companies depends, up to a great extent, on innovative ability of the weakest participants of the network. Participation in the network may be conductive to increasing innovativeness of the weak entities thanks to support from co-operating parties, however, under the condition, that these less innovative entities have other distinguishing skills (competitive advantage) that determine their relative attractiveness as the network participants. Because the network/ supply chain become more and more common form of activity and competition on the market in the TFL branch, innovativeness in this field will considerably influence market decisions. The above processes will then determine the pace of growth of that market in the future. In 2002 it amounted to 12,4% and was twice as high as dynamics in 2001
