Decisions and priorities are determined by the Direction and professors and most of the time only by the manager, leaving the other actors out of the administration of the college. The rationale focuses on the concept of participative management, communication management, skills and abilities of the school manager, concept of the public budget, participatory budget, phases of public spending and rationales underlying the study.
