Abstract

In the 21st century, the companies play an important role in defining society at local, regional, national and even continental level. If we are looking at a regional level, we can find different similar characteristics, such as population numbers, density of the region, area of the region or number of jobs vacant for a particular economic sector of activity, but which may change depending on the specific area, territorial distribution or type of economic climate. In this respect, it was considered appropriate to analyze two development regions in Romania (Bucharest-Ilfov and South-West Oltenia, which, although located in the area of Muntenia, have certain special characteristics. With a similar population, but with a surface difference of almost 16 times the size, but also a population density of 64,93 times higher, the South-West Oltenia development region has at first sight a still untapped potential.
