Abstract:
Human society is undergoing a more profound identity crisis period, economic development based on the waste of raw
materials, fuels and energy, contributing greatly to this crisis, having as basis the premises of wrong priorities. In order
to avoid an ecological disaster of proportions, a series of scientific personalities, and most ordinary people - have taken
firm attitude towards the phenomenon of pollution, from which results the deterioration of our living environment. In
these conditions arose the concept of "sustainable development". Management is certainly the main driver of economic
development of the world of the twentieth century, world that increasingly uses scientific knowledge, management
being itself the result of applied scientific knowledge. As a result - the sustainable development also can enjoy the
advantages of using techniques, functions and general approaches of management regarding the overall development
paths, in order to achieve maximum results in the proposed goals, set at the level of local communities, states or even
globally, in terms of reducing material consumption and pollution, to achieve the goal of welfare for all, on a clean
planet.
