Ефективність як економічна категорія

Abstract

The paper considers an essence of the economic category "efficiency", which is a determining indicator of a development and competitiveness of an enterprise and serves as a reference point for making managerial decisions. The lack of unambiguous interpretation of the category "efficiency" makes this problem relevant and indicates an importance of this category. In the paper the research and analysis of the definition of efficiency as an economic category, economic identification of the terms "efficiency", "effectiveness", "cost-effectiveness" and "productivity" are conducted. The treatment of scientists is generalized by providing author definitions of economic categories. The relationship between the economic categories "efficiency", "effectiveness", "cost-effectiveness" and "productivity" are presented.
