Summary/Abstract: "The present essay explores some of the tensions that seem to arise today in the practice of higher education with a focus on the Romanian situation and mainly on the authors’ home institution. Higher education best practices have a background that often eludes policy makers or practitioners who feel inclined to adopt them without sufficient time and support to adapt them to the local conditions. Mentoring would provide a good reflective practice at the various levels of the education spectrum particularly in acknowledging and discussing dilematic situations. Some explorations of the ways in which Romanian universities, particularly the socio-economic sciences and humanities, could contribute to offering our business and political leaders useful, accessible and meaningful research findings while struggling with their own inner reform are suggested in this essay."
