Self-regulatory Effectiveness of TSL Enterprises as an Indicator of Their Stratification Position in the Sector

Abstract

All of the enterprises which cooperate adapt different criteria for comparison of their achievements with the achievements of other participants of the market (revenues, costs, profit, employment). Consequently, an appearance of the market is created which is a sign of order of layers of different entities, striving to achieve different goals. One of those goals is to sustain the status quo on the market, which makes that status the primary goal of self-regulation. That goal can be described with an indicator of self-regulatory effectiveness. The indicator and its changes in the year 2014 has been analysed for the enterprises of the TSL sector shown in a published ranking. The analysis has proven that the enterprises with the highest efficiency or the highest share of the market were unable to achieve the best resource configuration. An optimal configuration, however, was achieved by an enterprise for which the growth of the self-regulatory effectiveness indicator had the value of 8906 points and was the last enterprise in the aforementioned ranking due to a low value of revenues and being a small enterprise. Ranking the enterprises according to the value of the growth of the self-regulatory effectiveness indicator creates an entirely different picture of the market.
