On distingue en général deux types d'efficience : technologique (ou technique) et économique (relativement à l'affectation). Une entreprise peut être technologiquement plus efficiente qu'une autre si elle produit la même quantité avec un nombre plus restreint d'intrants. Il y a efficience économique lorsque des intrants sont utilisés de façon telle qu'une échelle donnée d'extrants est produite au coût le plus bas possible. 2, record 1, French, - efficience%20%C3%A9conomique
