Abstract

Glavni cilj ovog rada je da istraži faktore koji utiču na profitabilnost kompanija u sektoru logistike tokom petogodišnjeg perioda (2013-2017). Uzorak obuhvata sve aktivne kompanije ili 748 kompanija koje posluju u sektoru logistike u zemljama Balkana. Imajući u vidu da je logistika bitan instrument konkurentnosti i profitabilnosti poslovanja kompanija i da je logistička industrija jedna od najprofitabilnijih, u radu je korišten panelni model podataka sa fiksnim efektom kako bi se razmotrila profitabilnost. Dobijeni rezultati su pokazali da četiri od šest posmatranih varijabli (veličina preduzeća, opipljivost imovine, likvidnost i koeficijent obrtanja aktive) imaju statistički značajan uticaj na profitabilnost. Rezultati daju smjernice za povećanje profitabilnosti i poboljšanje performansi logističkih kompanija, imajući u vidu da je efikasan sistem planiranja, upravljanja i kontrole logističkog sistema ključna odrednica profitabilnog poslovanja.
