SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT THROUGH FIRM COMPETITIVENESS: THE CASE OF ROMANIA

Pantea Marius

Abstract


The purpose of this research is to analyze to what extent a country’s sustainable development is influenced by firm competitiveness, addressing the issue from two points of view: a theoretical one, through an extensive literature review, and a practical one aiming at identifying how firm competitiveness (measured through return on assets and return on equity) affects sustainable development in Romania (measured through efficiency enhancers indexes), considering data over the last 7 years. Whereas sustainability and competitiveness are interconnected, our results show that firm competitiveness critically influences the sustainable development of Romania, thus providing reliable data for appropriate policy decision makers.
