The concept of supply chain management is a ubiquitous subject in both theoretical and practical analyses. Studies on the implementation of Supply Chain Management by Small and Medium Enterprises are relatively rare and their scope is limited to selected aspects. Hence, the aim of this article is to analyze the implementation of Supply Chain Management concept by Small and Medium-sized Enterprises. The research sample consists of Small and Medium Enterprises of Poland and Romania. The research tool was a survey questionnaire, which was divided into the part identifying the respondents and the substantive part concerning Supply Chain Management (SCM). Likert's five-level scale was used to evaluate the SCM concept application in small and medium entities, which measured the average level of the evaluation of factors in various SCM areas. The results of the study show similar involvement in the implementation of the concept, although there are significant differences in the selected areas, such as cost reduction and concentration on end customers. The research carried out in this paper has evaluated the SCM concept in SMEs measuring the average level in an evaluation of factors concerning different SCM areas. They are identified on the basis similarities and differences in the approach to SCM concept in Polish and Romanian enterprises.

At the same time, it is an obvious fact that shadow economy cannot be completely eradicated in any society and can shift its social safety significantly (Mishchuk et al, 2020;Onwuegbuchunam, 2018).…”

In this article, the authors analyze the interconnection between shadow economy and maritime sector development in coastal European countries. The article provides scientific analysis review of shadow economy and maritime sector, their importance and interconnection; and also examines the current trends of shadow economy and maritime sector in the selected countries. Additionally, the authors raise the hypothesis about the interconnectivity of shadow economy and maritime sector development, which are later tested using the regression model (based on the MIMIC methodology). Models aim to distinguish the relationship between shadow economy and the factors which impacts maritime sector development. The research results show that there is a significant relationship between shadow economy and main maritime sector impacts factors. During the research, the authors have identified that an increase of production value (operating profit), personnel costs and the number of employees in the companies operating in the maritime industry, will lead to decrease of shadow economy in coastal European countries. Furthermore, shadow economy decreases as weight handled in these countries' ports increases. On the other hand, the research findings show that as the number of companies
