Containerisation of freight transport significantly facilitates the flow of traded goods between remote destinations. The most important container transport routes link Asia with North America and Europe. The seasonality and imbalance of trade are the main factors giving rise to problems related to empty container repositioning. The aim of this paper is to develop a concept of empty container supply chains and formulate prerequisites for its modelling in the search for the optimal solution with the help of linear programming and mixed integer programming methods. This paper indicates causes of the empty container relocation problem based on the literature analysis with a special focus on the Eurasian transportation route. Also, it provides a concept of empty container supply chain, prerequisites for its modelling and examples of container supply chains modelling presented in the literature. The main results of the paper include conceptualisation of an empty container supply chain and suggested modelling prerequisites. The paper contributes to research in the field of supply chain management and optimisation of transportation.

Benchmarking is a management tool successfully used by public and private sector managers and holding its important position in a management toolbox throughout the years. The essence of benchmarking is learning from others and creative adaptation of good practices. It can involve both quantitative and qualitative comparisons which enable not only to learn about the outcomes of the activity but also about the ways these results had been achieved. In the paper the possibility of applying benchmarking in omni-channel logistics is presented. The rising expectations of customers highlighting the convenience of purchase as one of the most important factors determining purchase, forces retailers to change their business strategies. One of the most important factor creating product value is flexible delivery. Therefore this aspect was chosen as an example field for a proposed reference benchmarking methodology.

In a global competition systemic improvement, reflecting upon systems, structures, organization, processes, methods and tools applied in an organization becomes crucial precondition of success. There is an urgent need for innovation and change, so learning becomes indispensible, not only on a personal level but also on an organizational level. Higher education institution (HEI), which mission is to create and generate knowledge, seems to be a perfect place to implement a concept of a learning organization. In the paper the analysis of the concept of organisational learning and learning organisation is presented with an attempt to indicate HEIs which of the ideas to follow. The author considers features within higher education institutions that encourage and hinder learning and presents the specific conditions of the application of the concept in the higher education setting.
