In the article the problem of carrying out detailed classification analysis and definition of strict structural-logistics connections between types and kinds of logistics in economy has been revealed.The research has determined that the process of entrepreneurial logistics classification in modern theory is rather debatable and controversial and in some cases it has been insufficiently studied. It has been defined that types of logistics as notions are neither considered by scientists nor distinguished from these kinds.Actuality of separate identification of types and kinds of logistics has been grounded. A type and kind are suggested to be considered as superior and inferior subsection correspondingly in systematization (classification) of logistics.It has been suggested to consider two main modern manifestations as basis of logistic typology: rational and supporting.It was determined that development of logistics concerning rationalization and provision of business processes of an organization in economy is the main reason for wide use of the term "entrepreneurial logistics" beyond material flow. The author’s grounding of rational and supporting logistics in economical environment has been provided.Besides it has been grounded that any kind of logistics at lower level of classification is connected with its rational and supporting types.In the process of classification of entrepreneurial logistics by types it has been suggested to separate or generalize additional features: by measure of unification of carrying out specific logistics functions (integrated and specialized logistics), by measure of time action (strategic, tactic, and operative logistics), by type of control over the logistics chain (corporate and cooperative logistics) and by origin of logistic maintenance sources in flow processes (internal and external logistics (in general interpretation)).
