Abstract: The study investigates the possibility of implementing differentiation and low-cost strategies in the Romanian post-pandemic Covid conditions. It starts with the research of the theory related to the two generic strategies. The major problems of using basic concepts whose definitions generate a fragile theoretical structure are reviewed. This theoretical context is then related to the situation of generic strategies in an earlier period of the Romanian economy, in which the share of state property was higher than the current one. Based on the theoretical landmarks and the current situation, a projection is made of the way in which the respective strategies will be articulated in Romania. The conclusions point to doubt about the possibility of finding a concretization of the strategies according to the theoretical landmarks conveyed by the very popular textbooks.
