PERSPECTIVES ON DIGITALIZATION OF PUBLIC EDUCATION INSTITUTIONS’ MANAGEMENT PROCESS

This paper presents the results of a research whose main objective was to reveal, in a prospective manner, the use of digitalization tools in improving the management process in Romanian public organizations in the educational field. The research was carried out by means of a survey based on a questionnaire using snowball as a sampling method and having a sample of 127 subjects, managers, and executives from the public educational system in Romania. The results of the research showed that cloud-based data management software products are the most used digital tools for forecasting, as is the case with organizations. The extent of digital twin use is inherent to the perfection of the organization. The improvement of coordination will involve, according to the results obtained, the use of social media, mobile applications, virtual reality and other specific digital tools. In the case of control, improvement also involves dedicated digital tools for data analysis and processing. The results of the research confirm some of the previous studies on the influence of digitalization on the management of organizations and show that there are digital tools that can be mainly associated with the exercise of certain management functions.
