Therefore, to reach this purpose we pursued the following objectives: O1- bibliometric coupling analysis of the scientific papers published on the Web of Sciences and Scopus databases, which addressed the business performance topic by means of clustering; O2 – identifying the correlations between research projects already in place and highlighting research projects not yet approached by researchers, creating new research niches, impacting the development of the performance model applied to current demands.","PeriodicalId":30520,"journal":{"name":"Studies and Scientific Researches Economics Edition","volume":"114 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-07-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"77692351","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Functional strategies are closely linked to the changing competitive environment. Functional strategies may be the competitive advantage of each company. These strategies contribute to the implementation of the integrated business strategy of the company. They are the foundation for achieving the company's strategic intent. Functional strategies clarify the corporate and business strategies of a company or business unit. In contemporary times, these strategies offer a series of more specific details on the way in which key functional areas shall be managed in the near future by operations managers. Through functional strategies, managers make decisions and carry out actions acquiring higher competencies in different business functions (marketing, financial, operational, human resources) in accordance with corporate strategies and on business level. If corporate strategies and strategies on business level are developed by managers, strategies may be prepared for the functional areas of each business unit. The development of functional strategies may fluctuate from formal to informal. Within larger organizations that carry out complex operations there may be several strategies regarding each major function. Smaller organizations may usually function with lesser policies, and most of them may be informal.","PeriodicalId":30520,"journal":{"name":"Studies and Scientific Researches Economics Edition","volume":"79 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-07-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"76843011","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

For several years, this process has been undergoing a period of transformation that involves including in the reporting process, in addition to financial information, non-financial information that presents aspects of the resources used, the business model and the new value created by entity. Thus arose the concept of integrated reporting. In European Union, several European directives have been issued setting out the obligation to provide information on the environment, social issues, and personnel. Recently, a European Union project intended to amend the reporting directives by introducing a new concept, reporting for sustainability.
