Abstract:
The topic of this paper keeps deep roots in the old economic thinking and will share between such basics
and update data for Romania. On the one hand, the Marginalist ‘perfect competition model’ daring to link
between ‘welfare maximizing’ and what ever-since regards ‘small and medium size enterprises’(SME), and that
basing on a real and simple mathematical demonstration of that time. On the other, the latter and today
condition in a country like Romania in early 21st century, namely in a time of all compatibility dismantled
between economic development and just SME here working. We’ll also see below that SME cannot be missing,
together with activities and their aspects that appear even surprising at the first sight. All facts and data here
develop during the two years previous to the current pandemic (2018-2019). Data, including some analyses
made, here come from National Institute of Statistics (INSEE), National Council for SME, both in Romania, plus
the European Commission(EC) Manual. To equally be noted that these same data and analyses will make the
basis for future research considering current health crisis and its impact on the Romania’s business
environment.
