Small-medium sized companies create a huge part of added value in the market and they make up over 99 % of all companies in European Union. So, it is of highest importance that their processes would be efficient and effective. Business Process Management is a methodology that is frequently applied in large enterprises in order to digitalize its processes, improve their efficiency. Though there is a lack of information on the application of such methodology in the environment of small-medium sized business. When compared to large enterprises, small companies are facing constraints of limited financial and informational resources, but also, they usually are characterized by a fast decision making, rapid change implementation and higher work ethics and they are striving to use their resources in the most effective manner. All this considered, application of Business Process Management methodology, development of Business Process Management Systems and business process digitalization are beneficial for such companies, though the results of such initiatives can be unpredictable and even detrimental in case of a straightforward application. The aim of this research is to digitalize an order management process of a small optical retail business by applying principles of Business Process Management, evaluate the applicability of process optimization methods suggested by this methodology in the environment of small – medium sized businesses, identify the main benefits and drawbacks of business process management systems for small-medium sized companies and finally present recommendations with an intention of getting the best possible outcome of such initiative. After optimizing the order management process of a small optical retail business, we suggest an approach of process improvement for small-medium sized companies. Also, we have identified the main benefits of such initiative and present general recommendations for businesses of similar type, system analysts and developers with an aim of a higher rate of successful BPM and process digitalization initiatives in small-mediums sized businesses.

The Paper aims to provide an analysis of implementation of the "Non reformationis in peius" principle in the Civil process. The main idea of the principle is, that when a decision by the lower court is appealed, the court of a higher jurisdiction considering the case is not entitled to take a decision, that would be worse than the previous one to the appealing party, when the decision of the court of a lower jurisdiction is appealed by one party. Therefore, "Non reformationis in peius" principle represents an additional method of control of validity of a court's decision. The Paper consists of two parts. The first part gives an analysis of essence of the "Non reformationis in peius" principle and its meaning in the Civil process. It also reveals origins of the principle, i.e. conditions under which the principle emerged in Civil process and its development in history. Closer attention is paid to development of the "Non reformationis in peius" principle in Lithuanian Civil process law in the 20th century. At the end of the first part of the Paper is given a short comparative analysis of implementation of the principle in the neighbouring countries such as Latvia, Estonia, Poland, and Russia. Such analysis helps to disclose a different approach towards implementation of the principle even in the neighbour states. The second part contains analysis of relation of the "Non reformationis in peius" principle with the other principles of Civil process, and its implementation separately in the process of appeal, cassation and the process renewal cases. More attention is paid to cases, when the "Non reformationis in peius" principle shall not be applied, i.e. when a court is not restrained by requirements of the principle. When separate stages of Civil process are considered, attention is paid to the essence of those stages and possibilities of implementation of the "Non reformationis in peius" principle at such stages, since, as it was mentioned the principle shall not be applied in all cases.
