Abstract

The study is focused on two major issues that compose the academic activities: teaching and research activity on one side, and managerial activities on the other side. The aim of the study is to reveal the forecast of self-evaluation using statistical methods and to assess if possible, the minimum accepted value of the quality indicator.
