The impact of firm size on the economy and trade sector performance is lately researched due to its economic importance. Concerning it, this paper researches the specifics and determinants of impact of firm size on overall performance of distributive trade (wholesale and retail), with special insight on European Union and Serbia. Empirical research in the world, European Union and Serbia show very significant role of small and medium enterprises in creation of overall performance of trade sector, expressed through the number of enterprises, number of employees, turnover and added value. In that we find significant role of large trade chains which operate globally in many countries, including Serbia, which is a central issue in this paper. (original abstract)

Wpływ wielkości przedsiębiorstw na gospodarkę oraz sektor handlu podlega w ostatnich latach badaniom z uwagi na swe ekonomiczne znaczenie. Mając to na uwadze, niniejsze opracowanie bada specyfikę oraz determinanty oddziaływania wielkości przedsiębiorstw na ogólny stan handlu dystrybucyjnego (hurtowego i detalicznego), ze szczególnym uwzględnieniem Unii Europejskiej i Serbii. Wyniki badań empirycznych na świecie, w Unii Europejskiej i Serbii wykazują ogromną rolę małych i średnich przedsiębiorstw w kontekście funkcjonowania sektora handlu, co potwierdza liczba przedsiębiorstw, ich udział w ogólnym zatrudnieniu, wielkość obrotów i wartość dodana. Znaczenie to przejawia się poprzez ogromne łańcuchy handlowe działające globalnie, w tym w Serbii. (abstrakt oryginalny)
