The efficient management of time is essential in any profession and in any activity domain. Anybody can increase his capacity to organize his time and get important benefits from it. The way in which one organizes his time will always have a direct impact on the objects of his work (resources and activities), so that it is worth allocating time for developing some instruments and techniques that could help planning and organizing time efficiently and attaining the objectives while meeting the deadlines.

Taking a management decision is usually a complex endeavour with many stages. Gathering and assimilating information supposes perception processes based on attitudes which are determined by the values and fundamental beliefs of the individual. These values and beliefs are in a large degree tributary to the national culture to which we belong. The role of cultural particularities in forming perceptions becomes a priority of the economic agents, the manager being the catalyst of information, involved in the integration, administering and updating pertinent information, from the thousands of data available by using IT&C. The quality of the decision depends on the qualities, knowledge and aptitudes of the manager, and this is why it is a good idea to attract a greater number of specialists in the decisional process.

Businesses are based on communication, which allows a `whole` to function. The `whole` can be an individual, a team, a community, a nation, a system, the global population. Those that master communication, to perfection, can become `winners` - in the sense that they can look confidently towards the future and can be those who manifest themselves which make them continuously succeed. Communication can be a problem of trust and acceptance or rejection of other people`s ideas and feelings and it requires abilities, and developing abilities requires practice. Supervising the general tendencies inside and outside an organization is achieved through communication in order to be sure that the strategy, the vision, the systems are aligned with the realities and in order to anticipate and prepare the desired changes.

In this paper is presented a survey of companies’ websites in Bihor county. The study aims at local companies whose scope of activity allows them to interact with the end-users – individuals and whose presence in the virtual environment is ensured by websites. Companies that own a website use it for different purposes: to communicate to the users information about the company, to promote its products and services offered, to offer potential clients the opportunity to purchase these products online, to interact with their clients. The website of a company ensure its constant presence and can be used as an instrument in the marketing strategy, as a meaning of identity development or growth of the brand exposure, as a support for relationships with potential buyers or as a way of achieving market research. But for the website to fulfill the purpose for which it was made it must give the needed importance to certain aspects. Research carried out reveals an intensified concern of the companies for creating their own websites, for communicating with potential clients from the virtual environment, but they do not give importance to issues related to updating the information, structure, appearance, purpose sites. Most companies use the website mainly for information. They give little importance to promotion, yet not realizing the benefits they might have. Less than one third of the websites analyzed offers the possibility of online orders.

In this article the authors aim to create a presentation of the triangle morals-ethics-responsibility with an accent on the current globalized society. Business ethics has to disseminate in all the corners of a company, and first of all it has to be understood. Understanding the moral criteria of behaviour in business is important because the new Organizational structures create new complications, related to information flow and information administration inside various workgroups and in the entire organization, for which there are no traditional precedents.

In this paper I explore the phenomenon of personal development in an unconventional way. The contribution of this paper is to use a different method (i.e. in depth interviews) to focus on a different unit of analysis (i.e. managerial couples) in a different context. In addition the information and communication technologies (IT'C) are entering all the fields: business, state institutions, education and the day-by-day life. This paper contributes to the field by suggesting a different theoretical approach to personal development conflict as a decision-making problem. I propose using social exchange theory to explain personal development conflict as a complex evaluation of cost and benefits of exchanges between multiple actors on the basis of personal values and beliefs. The critical thinking is one of the most popular learning objects in the English speaking countries and they are also offering most of hopes to distance learning and also the critical thinking is a reflective one. This paper suggests that the field may be overlooking some fundamental variables. Content analysis of the interview transcripts reveals the crucial importance of implicit values and benefits, immanent or tacit actions such as decision-making and learning and communication and mutual understanding. Communication and personal development is essential in this respect. It's difficult to separate work, family and personal development and communication is fundamental in all directions. To conceptualize personal development conflict as a decision-making problem while taking into account exchanges and interactions between multiple actors and we can draw on equity theory or social exchange theory. Future research should test whether decision making is central for the understanding of personal conflict only in managers or in other collectives as well. I recommend the couple as the best unit of analysis to address issues such as accommodation within couples and complex decision- making in both individuals and couples. Future research should draw on boarder and different samples to replicate our study and check the generalizability of its findings - because if it can be generalized it may have strong implication for theoretical development.

In the current global economic environment, competition is becoming acute and complex, and rapid technological changes are shortening product lifecycles and the capacity of a company to generate new goods and services, or to improve them and distribute them as quickly as possible to markets. Changes of technological nature have been so rapid lately that one can talk of a new technological revolution - if we take into account the "waves" of technological development which are based on the spectacular progresses in informatics, telecommunications, robotics, fiber optics, fine chemical products and in aerospatial industry.

Technology has become more and more global and access to advanced technologies is vital for gaining and maintaining a durable competitive advantage under the conditions of economic globalization. Globalization and opening of large research and development centres by the large companies in areas with a major human potential, in which the operating costs are low, imply an exchange of specialized information with global distribution, access to specific applications and big data traffic generators. In the same time they imply the existence of ITC infrastructure, as well as the availability of human resources experienced in using the new technologies. Electronic communications have a significant impact over cultural activities as well as on recreative ones, by offering a high accessibility, changing the consumer behaviour as well as offering access to a large number of options.

The good news is that the Internet keeps on growing. The bad news is that, as a company, it is getting harder to be found.

The Information and Communications Technology (“ICT”) industries have come together as a dynamic ecosystem. Networks, devices, content and applications increasingly rely on each other to innovate and generate new value, providing multiple benefits to the economy.

In the current economic and socio-demographic context, the pressure exerted over the informatic departments by the top management in order to have them offer a high volume of information in a short time, efficient for maintaining and developing the busine

The development of an informational society requires consolidating trust in information and communication technology (ICT), the protection of personal data and of the right to a private life, but also promoting a world and national unification of the info
