The indicators of NACP Romania activities are firmly correlated with other important macroeconomic indicators, even at the level of Romanian counties, hypothesis verified by the authors in a previous research. The paper tests the hypothesis that in the last decade there have been numerous structural changes regarding the economic indicators at county level and we will analyze the evolution of these structural changes in two different periods, respectively year 2000 and 2006, and especially the clustering of Romanian counties, taking into account the macroeconomic indicators and those recorded by NACP Romania, using a descriptive method of data analysis, the principal component analysis (PCA). By applying the PCA method, we can obtain useful information for NACP that, according to its specific tasks, cooperates with local government authorities regarding the development of consumer education strategy and the organization of control activities. In this regard, depending on the level of economic development of each county, the consumption characteristics of the population, the earnings level, as well as the GDP per capita, the NACP can develop differentiated strategies, adapted to the features of each county.

Our paper analyses indicators of the entrepreneurial activities and sustainable development indicators in European countries before the international crises has begun. The research results are based on data and information collected from Eurostat and Global Entrepreneurship Monitor (GEM) data bases. In a previous research, we have obtained new factors, respectively principal components based on entrepreneurship and sustainable development indicators, applying Principal Components Analysis (PCA), using SPSS software package. The results show the similarities and the differences of the European countries distribution based on the indicators of both entrepreneurship and sustainable development which are combining with each other.

The sampling typology provides a non / probabilistic models of gathering information and this paper describes thorough information related to network sampling, named “snowball” sampling. This type of sampling enables the survey of occurrence forms concerning the decision power within an organisation and of the interpersonal relation network governing a certain collectivity, a certain consumer panel. The snowball sampling may be successfully applied for surveying the main sides of communication and decisions within a firm, institution or consumers.

This paper covers the last aspect, being used a representative urban sample of 300 households, the following methods being used for data processing: 2test bivariate, ANOVA, Wilcoxon test, Cronbach alpha, split – half, the goal of this paper being that to provide new results referring to retailer – consumer relationships for the durable goods market in Romania, that confirm or infirm the foreign research results..
