“…Regarding the competitiveness of Lithuania's logistics sector, Vienažindienė et al [81] as well as further research by Bučaitė-Vilkė and Tereškinas [60], Katinienė et al [82] and Navickas et al [43] lack focus on key areas that contribute to the sector's competitiveness in Lithuania particularly in commercial enterprises services offered both private and public sector entities. Though the current analysis is focused on suggestions on how the shared model analyzed in a multi-dimensional approach could improve the competitiveness of the sector, potential complex unresolved challenges associated with the sustainability could rebuff the smart technology aspect of the model as contended by Bhawsar and Chattoopadhyay [83], Vyas et al [84], Drobyazko et al [85], Falciola et al [86] and Rahulina [53].…”

This paper analyses the shared economy model to sustainably manage the tangible and in- tangible resources of logistics systems. A critical review of literature on the current supply chain management policy and technological platform in current use that supports it was done to suggest a new conceptual framework for logistics processes' sustainable management on a shared economy platform. This was examined according to how the concepts of new technologies influence logistics and the role of sustainable management platforms of the shared economy in enabling greater improved logistics processes. The inductive methodology approach was applied using multi-criteria analysis interpretive research method. The impact of the shared business model on each stakeholder and beneficiary varies according to how resources are consumed and its adoption according to the core business models requirements of each. Current scientific literature does not identify the impact this phenomenon has on companies in different sectors, as there is a lack of detailed analysis and evidence to fill this gap, particularly as the Internet of Things (IoT) monetize digital assets autonomously through the Economy of Things (EoT) marketplaces. From the analysis conducted, the findings provide a concept of the prototype framework required for the shared economy in the e-logistics' ecosystems rather than traditional ones, modelled using multi-criteria analysis interpretive methods as a strategic resource within the shared economy of supply chain management systems.

“…Scholars such as Dobroszek, Mourao & Grzesiak (2019), posit that the specialists' competences play a crucial role in managing a working environment and determining an organization's competitiveness (Ginavičienė, Piščikienė & Sprogytė-Bredelienė, 2023). Some argue that the competences of logistics specialists in a company, coupled with technology investments, create a momentous competitive edge in the market, this way enhancing both the current and future service potentiality of a transport organization (Katinienė, Jezerskė, & Vaičiūtė, 2021). Liikamaa (2015) takes a different perspective, defining competence as a core characteristic in individuals that is linked to efficient job execution (Ginavičienė, Piščikienė & Sprogytė-Bredelienė, 2023).…”

“…Liikamaa (2015) takes a different perspective, defining competence as a core characteristic in individuals that is linked to efficient job execution (Ginavičienė, Piščikienė & Sprogytė-Bredelienė, 2023). Katinienė et al (2021) describe competence as personally applied skills, abilities, and professional knowledge needed for choosing operational methods and performing specific types of activities or functions (Ginavičienė, Piščikienė & Sprogytė-Bredelienė, 2023). Another viewpoint characterizes competence as the capacity to carry out a particular task based on gained abilities, knowledge, values and skills.…”

The contemporary landscape of the logistics industry is evolving, introducing fresh challenges for companies. Consequently, it is imperative to focus on the competency of employees and anticipate the skills that will be essential in the future. Therefore, it is important to not only identify professional competences of the logistics graduates but also to make sure that they coincide with the skills required by the labour market. To achieve this end, vacancy notices published in an online media (CV bank) in the last quarter of 2023 were collected and analysed. Then, the obtained results were compared to the identified competences of the graduates of Transport Logistics in 2023 at Vilnius College of Technologies and Design. The article reveals that vast majority of the graduates of Transport Logistics at the Vilnius College of Technology and Design have knowledge and skills that by large reflect the requirements laid out in the analysed vacancy notices.

“…For example, in the opinion of (Armesh, Wei, Ghalandarzehie, Sargolzaie, & Kahrazeh et al,2014, Dobroszek, Mourao, & Grzesiak, 2019, the competences of specialists have an impact on the management of a technological environment, and the competitiveness of an organization. For some, the competences of logistics specialists, together with the investment in technologies, enable a company to gain a major competitive advantage in the market, and, respectively, comprise the present and future service possibilities of a transport organization (Katinienė, Jezerskė, & Vaičiūtė, 2021). Another scholar, Liikamaa (2015), defines a competence as an individual's underlying characteristic that is causally related to effective performance in a job or situation.…”
