Annals of Faculty of Economics, 2019, vol. 1, issue 1, 350-358 Abstract: This article proposes to validate a new vision of a qualitative research methodology in the field of management. The novelty derives from the multi-scientific and multidisciplinary treatment of the European regional or zonal integration process by merging the scientific research in the managerial field with that of the historical, social, anthropological etc. domains. This approach or methodology is a precursor phase for transdisciplinary research. The objective of the methodology is to enrich the fundamental knowledge through the potential of conceptual apparatus development. The method used also reveals the pursuit, over extended periods of time, of the appearance, evolution and possible disappearance or transformation of various sociological, political, administrative phenomena and not only. In the particular case, the article will treat a distinctive European integration process pre-existing to the European Union, in other words a process of European pre-integration. The dimensions and preconditions of the process will be presented, valid for the Banat region and implicitly for the city of Timisoara. The research examines the period of the Imperial Integration (Stirk, 2006, 12) starting with the administrative change in 1716 which represents the transition from Ottoman to the Austrian then Austro-Hungarian administration. The main cognitive contribution, of the research derives from the potential to generate or identify multiple points of view, treaty angles, considerations of a European pre-integration process. We consider these methodological benefits to be useful for streamlining, facilitating the process of European integration and preventing or solving the obstacles and challenges that have arisen or may arise along this ongoing process. The process of Europeanization, through its characteristics (social, political, economic, etc.), draws attention to the first important signals on the dynamics (especially on the growth) of the Europeanness degree. We can say that this research can draw attention to signals that imply adverse changes, on which, if implemented in a timely manner, with the help of an efficient management of integration, it is possible to diminish or even eliminate possible negative effects. The research was based on a multidisciplinary approach, analyzing managerial challenges (administrative implications in pre-integration processes) described in multiple primary sources of information. Information deduced from the study of the original administrative historical documents (using the methodology of historical research and documents from the Romanian National Archives directory) belonging to the period 1716-1914, as well as the analysis of descriptions from monographies, books of anthropology, political science, historical research books and conceptualization, but also from many types of dictionaries (explanatory, etymological, etc.) of different languages. Keywords: Pre-European Integration; Europeanization; Process; Challenges; Historical roots.
