The Development of Professional Management in Romania

Analysts have demonstrated that Romanian management praxis is confronted with a high number of weaknesses, while it also benefits from a relevant number of strengths. Based primarily on the analyses done by the Romanian Scientific Management Society (RSMS) and the National Council of Private Romanian SMEs (CNIPMMR), this study will discuss a set of eight long- term managerial priorities. In order to implement them, the authors formulated several pragmatic methods. According to the authors’ perception, all these elements could contribute to the professionalization of Romanian management, considering the specific requirements of knowledge-based economy and the level of development in Romanian economy.
