Interrelationships of concepts and terms, describing the technical, managerial and economic activity

Продуктивность, результативность, эффективность, синергетичность, успешность and their English counterparts: performance, efficiency, economic efficiency are key management and economic terms that are often confused when describing and subsequently evaluating resource conversions to obtain the final product in organizational activities aimed at meeting the expectations and goals of customer counterparties. There are a lot of Russian- and English-language managerial, economic and technical terms and concepts, but periodically there is some methodological inconsistency in the practice of their application. To build a methodologically correct integral Russian model of corporate governance, it is necessary to build a consistent thesaurus of concepts and terms. The authors have proposed several measuring scales that will be useful for building this model.
