The approach considered by the team of authors is justified by the fact that the period 2009-2012 was characterized by an economic crisis that Romania has experienced to the fullest, and because it is important to identify the sectoral behavior of Romanian companies in the foreign markets in this period. The dimension of external sectoral competitiveness of the Romanian companies is given by their presence in the foreign markets, measured by the value of sales in these markets. The model proposed by the authors assesses the static and dynamic behavior of the companies in the Romanian export sectors relative to the national average. The research aims to identify by an appropriate model the strong sectors that were responsible for success, as well as the poor performing sectors that may turn into significant vulnerabilities in the future. The results show that during the crisis, on the background of a significant overall increase in the index values of Romanian exports, in the export structure prevailed the sectors that may be considered as relative or significant strengths and the sectors with clear opportunities for success, while the sectors with potential vulnerabilities became sectors that in previous years held top positions in the structure of exports and still have significant shares in value added and employment structure, which may foreshadow serious adjustment and social problems in the future. Also, there is a significant change in structure in 2012 Romania\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\'s export specialization as compared to 2008, namely the progress of technologically advanced sectors and the decline of energy-intensive and / or OPT-based sectors.
