Abstract

This article examines existing approaches in the Romanian and foreign academic literature concerning the concept of company performance. It demonstrates that this concept is used very often but rarely defined and not sufficiently understood. Most studies go to performance measurement and improvement without further theoretic explanation and clarification. After analyzing the existing opinions the article mostly clarifies the significance of microeconomic performance, and other related concepts: productivity, efficiency, effectiveness, profitability and identifies the links between them. It recommends a common understanding of these concepts and all other concepts used in economics to give more precision and rigor to field science and avoid any ambiguity. For some terms it is yet difficult to unify the various contributions of authors because sometimes these are contradictory. Thus some authors may still use different approaches.
