Abstract: Agility and lean capabilities embrace organizational structures, operations, distribution, information and management systems and above all organizational cultures. This paper uses a dataset of local firms to analyse the characteristics of Romanian organizations. Factor analysis is used to identify whether Romanian firms are lean, agile or hybrid. Structural analysis is used to estimate the contributors to organizational performances. Empirical findings show that Romanian firms have begun to developed characteristic of a hybrid system. Our research provides management with insights into the measures and steps necessary to achieve the full potential of lean and agile organizations
