negotiation table, where they are the common stake. This easily implies that all it is<br />

essentially just a game of will and desire to win. Well, in our case who will have the<br />

advantage of slightly higher: the universities or the future graduates?<br />

And we also ask: what academic entrepreneurship manager is able to analyze and<br />

resolve this issue? On first examination, we appreciate that the neo-business people<br />

optics is directly positioned in the pattern shown in the figure 1.<br />

Studying this pattern of relationship we are in position to appreciate that we’re<br />

moving increasingly towards an educationcracy (democratic education) able to absorb<br />

with a fantastic speed more varied PIs (Performance Indicators) that constantly focus<br />

on outputs, which is characteristic to HE. And if this complex curriculum researchers<br />

usually resort to various methods more or less adapted to the evolving nature of OKIE<br />

(Likert scale, different methods such as ASSIST, AEQ, LSQ, ETQL), our research<br />

was conducted and configured in two distinct phases.<br />

The first was the interviews realization with graduates of HE as well as<br />

representatives directly responsible for HEOs (Higher Education Organizations)<br />

found at national level. Then, this process was accompanied by the organization of<br />

focus groups from where data were collected and processed both by univariate and<br />

multivariate analysis.<br />

If we refer to the 60 universities currently existing on the Romanian market, then we<br />

can say that high school graduates have provided a solid bunch of alternatives but the<br />

key question appears to follow when evaluating it is made for the quality of<br />

educational services provided by them. The course here will be extended an issue<br />

related to the decision to continue or not the masteral and/or PhD studies under the<br />

umbrella of the same university that granted the bachelor degree in the particular<br />

study. This unknown field could be resolved in a view already expressed that "people<br />

should understand that Frontline They are the ones who bring success to Their<br />

moments of truth, and everyone else should understand Their first job is to support the<br />

people as They Frontline do it"(Carr, C., 1990).<br />

We believe that we can naturally extend this explanation by addressing in terms of<br />

TQM (Total Quality Management) (Ahlberg, M., 1995) in order to understand the fact
