Purpose: The paper aims is to determine the factors determining the development of mergers and acquisitions in the logistics sector, but also the resulting dependencies related to difficulties in managing the risk of a combined enterprise under the influence of adverse economic events, such as the COVID-19 pandemic or the conflict in Ukraine. Design/methodology/approach: The paper was divided into two parts, consisting of a source literature of mergers and acquisitions, logistics, risk management and global supply chain, and a part devoted to the analysis of trends in the logistics sector in 2018-2022. The research took into account data from the reports of recognized audit firms. Findings: Based on the trends, the authors observed a connection between the risk resulting from adverse economic events, e.g. the COVID-19 pandemic and the conflict in Ukraine, on the degree of merger decision-making, in particular in the context of supply chain management, which is important for the functioning of a logistics company. Practical implications: The experience of logistics companies in recent years shows that the issue of supply chain risk management is an important criterion when making decisions about merging with another company. Moreover, unfavorable economic events that affect supply chain management also determine mergers and acquisitions. Originality: The paper is an interdisciplinary analysis of the M&A market in the field of supply chain risk management in logistics companies during COVID-19 and the conflict in Ukraine, which has not been subject to in-depth verification in the studies of other authors. The paper is a result of the authors’ research that was partially presented at the 3rd International Conference “Logistics challenges in the modern world” organized by the Warsaw University of Life Sciences on January 19, 2023.
