The present study is developed in three paragraphs. The first one provides information regarding different types of supply chains, with an emphasis on the two- echelon linear supply chain. Secondly, preview of theoretical aspects of the models for researching and simulating the inventory management is conducted. The second paragraph adapts a methodology for inventory management comparative analysis by economic order quantity and supply chain model, depending on demand and reduced supply quantity. The third paragraph presents an empirical results analysis that consequently confirms that when managing inventory in the supply chain, the overall costs are lower.

Many of the European Union's policies are related to promoting the idea of a ecological and resource-efficient economy, respecting the principles of the green economy. The latter is defined as the main tool through which the goals of sustainable development can be achieved. The green economy is perceived as a universal approach that has an impact on the long-term development of national economies and helps to solve a number of problems related to the economy, public welfare and environmental protection. The aim of the article is to make complex assessments of the level of the green economy and the level of health status of the population in some European countries and to establish the degree of interdependence between them. The first complex assessment is based on the following indicators: consumption of inorganic fertilizers; environmental taxes and fees by economic activities; a contribution to the USD 100 billion international commitment to climate-related spending; capacity for production of electricity from renewable sources and waste; production in industry, and the second one is based on: average life expectancy; share of people with good or very good perception of health as a value; air pollutants and greenhouse gases; causes of death; general health expenditure. It was found that the degree of dependence between the two complex estimates is large, since the value of the correlation coefficient (r) is 0.87.

The survey results show that there is no statistically significant relationship between the innovation activity of enterprises and their financial results, net sales, profit margins, return on assets (ROA), return on equity (ROE) and asset turnover. However, a significant dependence of the innovative activity of SMEs in the country and indicators of their liquidity, indebtedness and bankruptcy risk are revealed. SMEs that have innovation costs or have introduced in their market a new or significantly improved product, or have introduced new or significantly improved production methods in the last three years, are less liquid, more indebted and more likely to go bankrupt.
