Summary/Abstract: In relation to small and medium enterprises, coopetition in logistics management in Poland is a multidimensional process whose interpretation needs to be conducted on different, detailed levels of analysis. Significant elements which allow to assess the strength and scope of interorganisational relations can be the number of market players, their position of resources and bargaining position in relation to analyzed businesses. The origin of the market game entity, both in case of competition and cooperation relations, is vital in adapting intensive forms of cooperation. Logistics management creates an area contributing to the formation of intensive interorganisational ties. Coopetition processes can also be supported by local proximity in both competition relations and ties of cooperation. Finally, it is equally important to mention that different levels of coopetition can be considered within one business.
