Indrumar Pentru Pregatirea Examenului de Licenta Specializarea ADMINISTRAREA AFACERILOR Cu Predare in Limba Engleza
ASPECTE METODOLOGICE
PRIVIND ORGANIZAREA I DESFURAREA
EXAMENULUI DE LICEN
Studenii care, pn la nceputul semestrului I din anul IV de studii, nu i-au ales tema
pentru lucrarea de licen, vor fi repartizai unor conductori tiinifici n funcie de
locurile rmase disponibile.
Un cadru didactic poate refuza cererea unui student de a-i fi conductor tiinific n
urmtoarele situaii: are deja n ndrumare numrul maxim de lucrri de licen; tema
propus de student nu se ncadreaz n respectivul domeniu de specializare; motivarea
studentului pentru alegerea unei anumite teme nu este convingtoare.
1.2.2. Depunerea cererii pentru aprobarea temei alese la secretariatul facultii.
n vederea susinerii examenului de licen, studenii au obligaia de a depune la
secretariatul facultii o cerere pentru aprobarea temei lucrrii de licen n semestrul II al
anului III de studii.
n mod excepional, se poate aproba ca limit maxim, data de 30 octombrie
(semestrul I al anului IV de studii), astfel nct s rmn un interval de 10 luni de la
depunerea cererii i pn la susinerea lucrrii de licen. Depirea acestui termen atrage
dup sine imposibilitatea susinerii examenului de licen la sfritul anului IV de studii.
Cererea este tipizat i poate fi ridicat de la secretariatul facultii sau preluat de
pe site-ul facultii (www.sels.ase.ro). Aceast cerere1 va cuprinde titlul lucrrii de licen,
numele cadrului didactic coordonator i avizul favorabil al acestuia. Precizm c, n mod
excepional, titlul lucrrii poate fi modificat (o singur dat), doar cu acordul cadrului
didactic coordonator. Odat fcut opiunea cu privire la cadrul didactic coordonator, acesta
nu poate fi nlocuit dect n caz de for major.
1.2.3. nscrierea la examenul de licen
nscrierea la examenul de licen se realizeaz n perioada comunicat de
secretariatul Facultii de Studii Economice n Limbi Strine, dup ncheierea sesiunii de
examene din luna iunie.
Dac, din motive obiective, un absolvent nu poate susine examenul de licen n
anul absolvirii, poate face acest lucru n sesiunea urmtoare. Amnarea cu mai mult de 3 ani
a susinerii examenului de licen atrage dup sine pierderea acestui drept.
Au dreptul de a participa la examenul de licen absolvenii anului IV de studii
integraliti, cu media anilor de studii minim 6,00. Ambele probe ale examenului de licen
sunt eliminatorii.

RECOMANDRI PRIVIND ELABORAREA
LUCRRII DE LICEN
Se poate folosi prilejul tezei (...) pentru a recupera sensul
pozitiv i progresiv al studiului, neles nu ca o colecie de noiuni,
ci ca o elaborare critic a unei experiene, ca achiziie a unei
capaciti (bun pentru viaa viitoare) de a identifica problemele, a
le aborda cu metod, a le expune potrivit unor anumite tehnici de
comunicare.
Umberto ECO2
Umberto ECO, Come si fa una tesi di laurea, Bompiani, Roma, 1997, pag. 6
Poate unii dintre cei care citesc aceste rnduri se ntreab care este utilitatea acestui
examen de licen. Este un examen care v apropie de exerciiul profesiei, certificnd un
anumit nivel al cunotinelor economice i capacitatea de a nva i de a profesa n domeniul
de competen ales.
Lucrarea de licen trebuie s aduc o not de originalitate n domeniu. La
finalizarea studiilor universitare, se realizeaz n general lucrri de compilaie, mai rar teze
de cercetare, care de obicei sunt rezervate nivelului doctoral. ntr-o lucrare de compilaie,
studentul demonstreaz c i-a format o viziune asupra celei mai mari pri a literaturii
existente n domeniu i c este capabil s o expun n mod coerent i clar, realiznd corelaii
ntre diferitele puncte de vedere existente, oferind astfel o perspectiv util din punct de
vedere informativ pentru un specialist al ramurii dar care nu a aprofundat problema
particular studiat.
Abordarea recomandat n realizarea lucrrii de licen este aceea a studiului
sistematic, cteva ore pe zi, astfel nct lucrarea rezultant s ofere autorului satisfacie
intelectual i s aib utilitate profesional i dup absolvirea studiilor. Lucrarea de licen
poate fi nceputul unei cercetri mai ample, care va continua n anii urmtori, sau poate
reprezenta primii pai n cariera profesional aleas.
n fapt, elaborarea unei lucrri de licen presupune o serie de aspecte extrem de
utile n viaa profesional, indiferent de domeniu, anume:
identificarea unui subiect precis,
colectarea documentelor despre acel subiect,
ordonarea acestor documente,
reexaminarea temei n lumina documentelor adunate,
gsirea unei forme organice pentru ansamblul refleciilor precedente,
redactarea lucrrii astfel nct cititorul s neleag mesajul transmis i s fie
capabil, la nevoie, s ajung la aceleai documente spre a relua subiectul pe cont
propriu.
A redacta o lucrare de licen nseamn, deci, a nva s pui ordine n propriile idei
i a aranja datele, este o experien de munc metodic, ce presupune realizarea unui studiu
util i altora. Astfel, nu este esenial subiectul lucrrii, ct experiena pe care realizarea ei o
presupune.
n alegerea subiectului lucrrii de diplom, exist o serie de propuneri venite din
partea profesorilor (vezi capitolul 3 al prezentei lucrri), ns este recomandabil ca tema de
cercetare s fie propus chiar de Dvs., motivat() i interesat() fiind de un anumit domeniu
de studiu. Aceast tem va trebui s fie aprobat de un cadru didactic ndrumtor de lucrare.
n alegerea subiectului ce urmeaz a fi tratat, recomandm urmtoarele:
tema s corespund intereselor Dvs.: s fie legat de disciplinele de specialitate
studiate, de lecturile Dvs. n domeniu, de actualitatea economico-social,
sursele de documentare s fie reperabile i accesibile Dvs.,
sursele de documentare s fie manevrabile, inteligibile i accesibile din punct de
vedere cultural,
metodologia cercetrii s fie adecvat experienei Dvs.
Aceste patru argumente n alegerea temei lucrrii se pot rezuma n recomandarea de
a v alege un subiect pe care suntei capabil() s l dezvoltai n conformitate cu exigenele
universitare.
n momentul n care v-ai hotrt asupra subiectului pe care l vei trata, depunei o
cerere la secretariatul facultii, conform modelului prezentat n continuare (vezi Figura nr.
2). Modelul de cerere este disponibil i pe Internet, pe pagina www.sels.ase.ro. nainte de a
depune cererea la secretariat, trebuie s obinei acordul scris al profesorului coordonator.
Aceast cerere trebuie depus cu minimum nou luni nainte de susinerea examenului de
licen.
Dac, din motive obiective, v vei afla n imposibilitatea de a realiza cercetarea
temei respective, putei schimba, o singur dat, titlul propus, fr a schimba ns
coordonatorul tiinific.

lor n ansamblul surselor de informare utilizate (n funcie de specificul cercetrii). Anexa nr.
1 conine cteva sugestii de documentare n vederea realizrii lucrrii de licen.
O prim surs de "orientare" bibliografic este biblioteca, unde pot fi gsite cri,
colecii de reviste de specialitate, baze de date sau informaii stocate n medii virtuale. n
cazul n care ai stabilit o bibliografie sigur, consultai catalogul bibliotecii pentru a afla care
dintre materialele de care avei nevoie se gsesc n biblioteca respectiv.
ns, n majoritatea cazurilor, ajungem la bibliotec pentru a cuta materiale
bibliografice de a cror existen nu am aflat nc, n scopul de a alctui o bibliografie.
Primele indicii pot fi obinute consultnd catalogul pe autori, extrem de util n cazul n care
avei o lista de autori consacrai n domeniu. Exist de asemenea un catalog pe subiecte, care
poate furniza mai multe informaii privind tema cercetat i care ofer o list a publicaiilor
din domeniul de studiu aflate n bibliotec. Este recomandabil consultarea ambelor tipuri de
cataloage pentru a evita omiterea unor surse bibliografice datorit subiectivismului autorilor
catalogului pe subiecte.
Pentru fiecare publicaie exist o fi bibliografic, sub form fizic sau electronic,
prezentnd o descriere sintetic a coninutului crii: principalele teme abordate, cuvintecheie, datele de identificare ale publicaiei n cadrul bibliotecii. Aceast fi reprezint un
reper important n trierea surselor bibliografice.
O surs important de informaii i un ajutor preios n orientarea printre publicaii
poate fi bibliotecarul, care v poate indica localizarea unor lucrri de specialitate sau v
poate sugera i alte surse de documentare. Prin intermediul Internetului putei consulta
cataloage on-line, cataloage inter-biblioteci sau biblioteci virtuale.
n vederea sistematizrii muncii de cercetare, este recomandabil s realizai o list
bibliografic, care s cuprind toate publicaiile pe care trebuie s le cutai. Aceast list va
fi de fapt un catalog personalizat, dup cum putei constata din modelul prezentat n figura
nr. 3. Informaiile eseniale despre cri pot fi nsoite de comentarii personale de tipul "foarte
important conform autorului X", "Y consider modelul ca fiind lipsit de valoare", "de
cumprat", etc. Lista bibliografic v va permite s redactai bibliografia final.

n cuprins nu apar mai mult de 3 - 4 subdiviziuni, chiar dac lucrarea conine mai
multe ramificaii. Aceste subdiviziuni sunt prea puin importante n economia lucrrii pentru
a le nscrie n cuprins, exceptnd faptul c numerotarea lor ocup mai mult loc dect
denumirea propriu-zis (de exemplu, "3.3.1.3.2.2.1."). De altfel, astfel de sub-divizri ale
materialului sunt de evitat, fcnd extrem de obositoare urmrirea firului logic al lucrrii.
Din acest motiv, este recomandabil ca, atunci cnd facei enumerri ale cror elemente vor fi
detaliate, s utilizai o numerotare mixt cifre i litere.
n general, o lucrare de diplom este format din trei - cinci capitole. Recomandm o
pondere de minimum 50% a prii practice i un echilibru ntre capitole (ca numr de pagini
i de subcapitole).
Cuprinsul se realizeaz la sfrit, cnd ai fixat paginaia lucrrii. Putei utiliza
opiunea "Table of contents" din meniul "Insert / Index and tables" din MSWord. Aceast
opiune v permite s obinei automat cuprinsul lucrrii i are avantajul de a actualiza
informaiile n cazul n care mai facei modificri.
nainte de a ajunge la textul propriu-zis al lucrrii, exist o serie de liste care
indexeaz abrevierile utilizate n lucrare, tabelele, figurile i graficele. Toate aceste liste sunt
realizate pe msur ce avansai n redactarea lucrrii de diplom.
Lista de abrevieri cuprinde toate abrevierile folosite n textul lucrrii, cuprinznd
sigle de instituii, indicatori, etc. i explicarea acestora. De exemplu, putei folosi n lucrare
abrevierea "BNR" dac n lista de abrevieri ai marcat "BNR - Banca Naional a Romniei".
Lista tabelelor cuprinde toate tabelele din lucrare, cu menionarea numrului
tabelului, a titlului i a paginii la care se afl n lucrare. Aceast list permite reperarea rapid
n text a anumitor informaii cuprinse n respectivele tabele.
Lista figurilor i graficelor cuprinde, dup cum indic i numele, un inventar al
tuturor figurilor din textul lucrrii. O soluie facil n realizarea listelor de tabele i de figuri
i grafice este oferit de acelai meniu "Insert / Index and tables", opiunea "Table of
figures / tables" n MSWord.
Rezumatul lucrrii se realizeaz, de asemenea, la sfrit, dup ce ai pus punctul
final la lucrare. Acest rezumat este o sintez de aproximativ o pagin, n care vei prezenta
motivaia alegerii temei, utilitatea cercetrii, structura lucrrii i concluziile. n acest
rezumat, este util s evideniai aspectul de noutate i originalitate pe care l aduce lucrarea
dvs. i s accentuai contribuiile proprii. De asemenea, este util s identificai 10 - 15
termeni - cheie definitorii pentru lucrarea Dvs.
Introducerea va permite o trecere n revist a domeniului pe care v propunei s l
explorai. n aceste pagini vei detalia motivaia alegerii temei, stadiul actual al cunoaterii n
domeniu, detalii privind modul n care vei aborda studiul, structura lucrrii i utilitatea
cercetrii. n general, introducerea reprezint 4 - 5 pagini din lucrare.
Recomandm s redactai introducerea dup ce ai realizat lucrarea. Astfel, vei
putea sintetiza elementele de coninut, metoda de cercetare, sursele de informaii utilizate i
obiectivele urmrite.
Corpul lucrrii este format, aa cum precizam anterior din trei - cinci capitole, care
detaliaz structura logic a materialului. n cazul n care optai pentru o distincie clar ntre
partea teoretic i cea practic, v recomandm ca partea teoretic s reprezinte un capitol
(definirea conceptelor, enunarea ipotezelor de lucru, trecerea n revist a principalelor
curente de opinie existente), partea practic s reprezinte un alt capitol iar ultimul capitol s
fie dedicat concluziilor i recomandrilor.

alte surse bibliografice: interviuri cu reprezentani ai organizaiei analizate n lucrare,
rapoarte interne i informaii aflate pe intranet-ul organizaiei.
Declaraia pe propria rspundere privind autenticitatea lucrrii (conform
figurii nr. 8) va fi manuscris i reprezint garania pe care o angajai c lucrarea nu a fost
plagiat i c nu este o copie a unei lucrri de licen deja prezentate. Documentul se
ataeaz la sfritul lucrrii.
Declaraia pe proprie rspundere privind
autenticitatea lucrrii de licen
care v recomandm s nu activai opiunea "Oglinda paginii" (Mirror margins) din meniul
de setare a paginii. Dimensiunea hrtiei va fi A4 (21 29,7 cm), format ce v va permite
evitarea distorsionrilor la imprimare.
Paginaia lucrrii se plaseaz n partea dreapt a paginii, debutnd cu pagina de
gard a lucrrii (care, dei se numeroteaz cu "1" nu va purta coloncifru vizibil).
Paragrafele vor fi formatate stnga - dreapta (Justified), astfel nct rndurile s
umple uniform pagina. Un paragraf va conine cte o idee, fr ns a depi 10 - 12 rnduri.
Frazele trebuie s fie inteligibile, ct mai concise i logice. V recomandm o lectur atent a
materialului n vederea corectrii posibilelor greeli de exprimare sau de tastare. Verificarea
automat (Tools / Spelling and Grammar) este un instrument util, dar nu ntotdeauna eficace,
motiv pentru care sugerm o lectur atent a textului, acompaniat, atunci cnd este cazul de
consultarea dicionarului.
Capitolele vor debuta ntotdeauna pe pagin nou i vor fi clar identificate n textul
lucrrii. Se va evita nceperea unui sub-capitol sau paragraf n josul paginii, atunci cnd mai
sunt trei - patru rnduri libere pe pagin. Titlul nu va fi vizibil, n plus va fi nsoit doar de
unu - dou rnduri de text.
Dac titlurile capitolelor / subcapitolelor se ntind pe mai multe rnduri, se va evita
ca un rnd s se ncheie cu o prepoziie. Recomandm ca aceste titluri s nu fie prea lungi (de
obicei, unu - dou rnduri) i sugestive pentru coninutul sub-diviziunii respective.
Un capitol nu va avea mai puin de cinci - zece pagini iar un subcapitol nu va avea
mai puin de o pagin.
Structurarea capitolelor, subcapitolelor i paragrafelor poate fi fcut n diferite
moduri. Figura nr. 9 ofer dou exemple de numerotare a subdiviziunilor unei lucrri. Prima
poate fi recomandat n cazul unei abordri distincte a prii teoretice fat de cea practic.
Numerotarea decimal este cea folosit cel mai frecvent n realizarea lucrrilor tiinifice.
Numerotare alfanumeric (mixt):
