The digital transformations that were present in the society have also extended to the education domain, both methodological and structural changes that were followed by several effects in the training market. Economically, the training market consists in the demand and offer of training courses, which have been modified in the aspects of topic and relation with the needs of the potential users. This paper aims to extend a study regarding the effects of the leadership type of the manager of the courses offering institution on the structure of courses with several effects of the digital transformation in the last period. In previous researches, the authors have determined several implications of the leadership type on the courses offer using a methodology based on literature review, a point of reference for the present paper. The study was structured on three main aspects: the determination of the offer structure by topic by determining the clusters of courses based on leader personality traits, the determination of the connection between the leadership style with the offer structure and the main transformation of the courses in the offer based on face-to-face and online learning forms by direct observation and analysis. The research was made on a cluster of seven teacher training houses in Romania in the school year 2021-2022. The results showed that the influence of the leadership style on the courses offer is a defined one and the last period has brought a normal change in the offer structure based on the online form of organisation.

Training market has a huge impact on the Romanian educational system. Due to this impact, the training courses must have a high quality as the competencies that are gained after participating at these courses are used in the educational process. The Romanian training market has a simple structure, with several types of providers offering training courses to people coming from various professional categories. Based on the intervention of the authority in the training process, we can differentiate between state providers, such as Teaching Staff Resource Centres (TSRC - Casa Corpului Didactic, CCD, in Romanian), private providers that depend on the central authorities and own private providers. Teacher training is mainly made by the Teaching Staff Resource Centres and private providers that run courses with the approval of the Education and Research Ministry. Due to the importance of the quality of this process, we are presenting in this paper several pre-requisites for a research whose aim is to show the correlation between the leadership style of the TSRC managers and the training offer of their TSRC, with an example on the agricultural educational environment.

We live in a world powered by information. This truth gives us the potential to master as much information as we can in order to make our activity more efficient. The development of technology gives us both the means and the capabilities to gather and analyze this large amount of information so that we can use more efficiently the limited resources that we dispose of. Basically, this paper presents a modality of modelling smart university and smart enterprise environments based on the principles of System Dynamics, the model of economic map presented in previous papers and the concept of smartness within an environment. In these terms, smart is referred to the usage of new methodologies and technologies in order to optimize the activity in a controlled economy-based or educational environment. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
