This study was started during a research visit at the University Dauphine Paris, France, as a test model for a study involving SMEs from the information technology at national level in Romania. The analysis of the evolution develops around three indicators: size (number of employees), performance (turnover) and the age of each enterprise. Within this article the theoretical context for this research will be presented, as well as the methodology, the preliminary analysis and the conclusions.
