Sub-divided into 8 chapters which start from theoretical considerations toward a gradual close-up on the Romanian context and its own examples of innovative Romanian business organizations, the book documents a topic less present in the form of a consistent book in the Romanian managerial literature. As stated by the author herself “the departing premises for the book lies in the too loose use in the Romanian public discourse of the term ‘excellence’ as final goal to be accomplished for social development, a goal to which all organizations are constantly called upon to contribute and offer their best input”.

Postmodernism seems to be a paradigm that we are tempted to assume as something inevitable. One could satisfactorily define Postmodernism as a sum of characteristics of contemporary globalizing societies, but negative effects resulting from noncritical assumptions of everything introduced to us as postmodernism have been less reflected upon. For instance, the rejection of all ideologies, typical for postmodernism, may open the way of the collective mind to a new ideology that we are unaware of and that we cannot assess according to universal ethical norms. Also, the need for individual freedom and the libertine doctrine stimulate under postmodernism a way of life featuring hedonism, anomy and libertine behavior associated with the decomposition of the traditional family, which exposes the individual to the possibility of superior political manipulation, specific to the totalitarian regimes. Or, denouncing the fundamental concepts, the hypostasis ideas as illicit meta-narrations may lead to the fundamental knowledge study, to the acquisition in the further education, of wrongly labeled „skills”, of exclusively instrumental knowledge, which may have negative repercussions on the knowledge and the individual thinking skills on the long term. It is in the analysis of such circumstances that resides the originality of our approach.

Critical discourse analysis of 40 hours of broadcasted material of reality show “Farm 3” Serbia (November / December 2010 TV Pink) confirmed the main hypothesis of this study. The analysis showed that “Farm 3” participants deliberately chose roles during which they insisted on acting in a controversial and discriminatory manner. Their goal was to differentiate themselves from one another and, in so doing, win as many audience votes as possible. The roles selected and simulated offered the audience "folk entertainment", a media mix of kitsch and bad taste. By sending SMS messages, the public supported and evaluated the roles played out by the participants as if they occurred in a real-life environment and not an orchestrated reality show.

Daniela Sitar-Tǎut: Stimatǎ doamnǎ LibušaVajdová, v-am cunoscut în toamna anului trecut, la Universitatea Comenius, la un simpozion internaţional Exilul literar românesc, înainte şi dupǎ 1989, unde aţi prezentat o comunicare despre acest subiect, vǎzut însǎ prin prisma exegezelor, istoriilor şi studiilor literare. Cum se vede exilul prin ocheanul cercetǎtoarei de la Institutul de Literatura Universală al Academiei Slovace de ştiinţe? LibušaVajdová: În primul rând, ar fi bine să ne lămurim despre ce fel de exil vorbim. Faptul că noi toţi (românii, slovacii, cehii, polonezii, ungurii, ruşii etc.) trăim într-o zonă unde exilul este un fenomen tradiţional, des şi variat, ne dă voie să discutăm ore întregi numai despre diverse modalităţi ale exilului. Faptul acesta s-a manifestat şi la simpozionul amintit.
