In a knowledge-based society, Information and Communications Technology plays an important role in learning process, involve teachers and students into a relationship that allows students to acquire knowledge and skills needed in their future work. The learning environment created by the teachers affects the students’ achievements, their attitude regarding the compulsory school subjects.
We wanted to have feedback from the students regarding what they wait from the course, how much the interest in learning process depend of learning environment and the teacher’s attitude, whether or not their expectations are accomplished, so we organized a survey using a questionnaire with 3 group of questions: (1) why the students learn ICT; (2) how the interest in learning process depend of learning environment and the teacher’s attitude; (3) to what extent the assessment methods affect the students’ attitude.
The survey give answers to important teachers’ problems who want to improve their relationship with the students and bring into question new problems regarding the attitude of the students towards the learning process. The answers suggest the way the teacher must organize the environment in class, give answers the assumption regarding the way the students want to work (individual or in team), their interest, curiosity, motivation, openness.

This paper tries to analyze the ways of perfecting management at SMEs level by an intensive use of informatics technologies, in the context of implementing the information society and the 2020 digital agenda. Large volumes of data, the complexity of its administration and processing procedures, the high demands related to the computer system providing in timely manner valid and relevant information needed to conduct, are defining characteristics when discussing the issue of computerizing SMEs’ activities. This requires a dynamic and creative attitude of the users in relation to the development of a specific informatics system.
In this respect, the new informatics technologies are an indispensable support for the redesign of management systems, the application of advanced management methods and technique and advanced decision assisting.

E-learning is a term frequently debated in the lasts years, especially in the academic environment. Computer technology has profoundly transformed society, research and education. It provides support for the development of an educational system continuously adapted to society’s demands and advances in knowledge acquisition. Students can learn, evaluate and communicate their own results in formal or informal settings, universities and other public institutions take part in the development of international projects, workers are able to integrate learning into work, using the same tools and technology for working as they use for learn. Teachers have to adopt an appropriate way to interact with students, accept that both formal and informal learning settings offer important strengths to the learning process. They have to assist students in accessing knowledge, become facilitators of learning and partners in sharing ICT resources. What is more, if students used to learn in an on-line way, the school-to-work transition is easier, because they carry the experience of e-learning with them into the workplace, they have more control over their learning and can integrate learning into work more effectively.

In the last years, the world has moved from predominantly industrial society to information society, governed by a new set of rules, which allows access to digital technologies, processing, storage and transmission of information. Organizations include in their decisional process Business Intelligence components, which help the decision-makers to establish the conditions of financial equilibrium, to highlight weaknesses and strengths, to make predictions. Particularly, Unified Modelling Language (UML), as a formal and standardized language, allows the control of the system’s complexity, shows different but complementary views of the organization and ensures independence towards the implementation language and the domain of application.
This article aims to show the way UML diagrams are used as support in a decisional process for a hotel company. UML diagrams designed help decision- makers to analysis and discover the causes, to design and simulation of possible scenarios, to implement and measuring the results.
