The purpose of this study is to contribute to our understanding of the effects of implementing optimized solutions to increase the performance of a company. Based on a sample of 1442 small companies, the design of a linear model of optimization was selected because of the limits of the model of organizational development in Romania and the perspective on the market value of firms, which, in fact, is the most eloquent result of management's actions. Research results reveal that successful performance management is important for the survival and success of any organization in today's environment, which is highly competitive and continuously evolving. As expected, the management of an entity goes beyond time, and the role of the leader of the future is to ensure the long-term growth of shareholders' wealth and the prosperity and well-being of the company he or she leads. Finally, our conclusions show that this model is valid and can be used to produce and implement organizational change in Romanian companies.

Romania became a member of the EU in 2007 and thus gained the preconditions for achieving economic growth and long-term stability. Romania has not fully exploited all benefits of EU membership and is still in the group of the least developed member states. However, recent reports points to accelerated economic growth and improvement of economic performances of Romanian economy. In current situation, special emphasis should be placed on further stimulation of investments in research and development and their products. Such an orientation will result in achieving economic growth and improvement of the national competitiveness.
