Despre autori
With contribution of Victor Iliescu.
Foreword by Romiță Iucu-Bumbu.
Volum editat în limba engleză.
Înțelegând importanța abilității de a organiza si dezvolta proiecte internaționale, de a proiecta și susține implementarea si finalizarea proiectelor, autorul a sintetizat cunoștințele acumulate de-a lungul a zeci de ani de coordonare a proiectelor, punând această utilă carte la dispoziția ONG-urilor, specialiștilor din domeniul educațional, factorilor de decizie din politica educațională, personalului didactic și studenților, permițându-le să se familiarizeze cu terminologia managementului de proiect, cu nevoia de a împărți proiectele în etape, cu criteriile, obiectivele și riscurile cu care se pot confrunta în încercarea de a schimba semnificativ ceva. Dincolo de noțiunile teoretice prezentate într-o manieră concisă și accesibilă, specificitatea acestei cărți constă în exemplificarea prin proiecte care au reprezentat, în momentul implementării, performanței și diseminării lor, un succes recunoscut la nivel internațional.
Understanding the importance of the ability of organization and development of international projects, to design and support the implementation and finalization of projects, the author has synthesized the knowledge accumulated throughout tens of years of coordination of projects, making this useful book available for NGOs, specialists in the educational field, educational policy makers, teaching staff, and students, allowing them to become familiar with the project management terminology, with the need to divide the projects into stages, with the criteria, objectives, and risks they may face in the attempt to significantly change something. Beyond the theoretical notions presented in a concise and accessible manner, the specificity of this book consists of exemplifying them through projects that represented, at the moment of their implementation, performance, and dissemination, an internationally acknowledged success.
Everyone can find something interesting, irrespective of whether they are experienced or new learners, who become initiated in a field through this very useful book, excellently structured and organized, focused on practice and achieved in an interactive learning style.
