Abstract: The main objective of the study is to research the evolution of the concept of performance, through the lens of definitions given since 1957 until today. Also, the research proposes a performance analysis from a general approach to a financial approach. Currently, a great significance is represented by the existing performance at the level of the companies, practically any company has as its goal the obtaining of profit, and within a profitable company we are talking about the performance of the companies. At the end of this article, I performed a bibliometric analysis that aimed to identify scientific works that address the theme of “the evolution of the concept of performance”, using the VOS Viewer program. So, as we identified in the Web of Science Core Collection platform, by selecting the areas of interest Business Finance, Business, Economics and Management, a number of 697 articles written between 1999 and 2023 resulted. The importance of the theme began to grow starting with year 2007, and since 2010 it has been written constantly until now, but in 2020 the most articles were written on the analyzed topic. Depending on the country of origin of the published articles, most articles were published by researchers from the USA, followed by England, Spain, Italy and Romania. Finally, we analyzed the fields of journals in which the most articles on the chosen topic were published, and last but not least, we analyzed the network visualization for the co-occurrence of keywords.
