The study analyses selected areas of business management while comparing companies in the use of investment measurement and management models and methods. The paper aimed to find out dominant differences in investment tools linked with possible positive effects on business performance. The research tested the business entities in the transitional economy of Slovakia in Central Eastern Europe. Statistical analysis of contingency as an appropriate testing method for categorical variables was applied in the research. Findings demonstrated better business performance in companies with partly or fully foreign ownership. Results present statistically significant differences in the use of individual investment tools between foreign firms against local firms as well as comparison in automotive, engineering, and other industries.
