Abstract

The economic and financial crisis of the last years has been felt strongly in all the sectors of activity. The Romanian courier services market has experienced an important growth during 2000-2007. The last years were marked by significant changes within the sector, on the one hand due to the entrance on the Romanian market of some international companies (through acquisitions of indigenous companies), on the other hand due to the elimination of competitors which did not succeed in keeping their market shares and face an ever stronger competition. In order to maintain themselves on the market, the companies supplying courier services were forced to permanently increase the quality of the service offered through investments into informatical systems and performing IT equipment. Also, the development of the ecommerce has oriented courier companies towards this niche segment. Through regression analysis the present paper aims at testing the hypothesis which claims the existence of a relation between the IT sector and the courier services market.
