Businesses operating in turbulent environments must look for ways that will allow them to survive, grow, succeed and increase efficiency. The need to be effective, flexible and innovative is imperative for the functioning and development of modern enterprises. Efficiency is characterized by a wide range of content, as it relates to effects, goals, expenditures and costs in terms of structure and dynamics. Efficiency is an ambiguous and differently interpreted notion of economy, business, process, finance, motivation or logistics. Logistics is an efficiency orientation based on the comprehensive analysis and shaping of the optimum level and structure of outlays and their transformation into costs, where the primary role is to strive for the right level and quality of service and customer service. Considering the effectiveness issue it should be noted that it has not only a real but also a potential dimension. It is therefore important in the systemic sense of the effectiveness of logistics to study not only actual effectiveness but also potential effectiveness. In terms of the subject matter studied, the following basic characteristics of the system are important: stability, adaptability and innovation. Therefore, the article describes the theoretical bases of effectiveness and the place and importance of innovative in efficiency, with particular emphasis on logistics.
