Abstract

The very intensive development of e-commerce and changing consumer behavior in the United States have provoked an unprecedented increase in freight traffic. This trend is increasing every year. Existing logistics models sometimes demonstrate the inability to effectively cope with the increased workload, which necessitates a rethink of traditional approaches to business organization in the area under consideration.There is no common position in the scientific community regarding optimal scaling strategies for logistics companies in the context of digital transformations. A number of researchers advocate the priority of technological modernization, while others focus on strengthening regional partner networks. The indicated contradiction is aggravated by the lack of knowledge of synergetic effects when integrating various options for action.The purpose of the study is to identify key success factors in building and scaling a logistics business in the United States through the prism of technological transformation of the industry and changes in market conditions.It is noted that companies integrating elements of classical logistics with digital platform solutions demonstrate an increase in the profitability of operations. At the same time, the critical success factor is not the volume of investments in technological modernization, but the ability to create effective synergy between various parts of the entrepreneurial model. The author’s view on the options for the development and scaling of logistics entrepreneurship in the United States is proposed.The article is of value to the heads of logistics companies, investors considering the possibility of entering this sector in the United States, as well as researchers dealing with the digital transformation of the analyzed industry.
