All my life long, my scientific activity has been diversified and changed according to the challenges that have been put to me at certain times. My initial scientific area has been on maths applications and education and its applications to business, engineering and active life. I have published some papers and developed some projects with application to business, industrial engineering, mathematics and education. The areas of main interest have been quality management, industrial engineering, organizational excellence, services and public administration. I have also become interested on distance education methods and procedures, on-line teaching, e-learning, the related pedagogical models and technologies of learning, learning organizations. Since 1975, I have taught and collaborated as researcher in departments of education, business administration and engineering.
