The Importance of Implementing Quality Systems in the Economic Development of the Constanta Metropolitan Area

Abstract

In the context of global economic development, the issue of convergence of actions at local communities, regional structures and national entities, targeting a sustainable development, is becoming crucial. This article highlights the contribution of citizens and local authorities to finding new and creative ways to cope with the pressures they face, given the climate of crisis in recent years. The paper also highlights the importance of implementing quality management systems in the activity of central and local public administration. Local communities need to identify new tools and strategies like quality management ones in order to determine collaboration between citizens, institutions and representatives of different sectors of activity, in order to plan the future of the community. All these elements change both the nature of the problems at the local level and the way in which they are fixed.
