Management is a field which combines the
knowledge of economy (finance, marketing, commercial law) with the
knowledge of psychology. The studies concern patterns and challenges
related to the functioning of public organisations and institutions.
During your studies you will learn to
plan, organise, motivate and supervise work in production and service
industries. We do not educate economists but rather seek to develop you
into an expert, capable of managing any sector of a company or
organisation. Therefore, we encourage students to undertake various
initiatives during their academic careers and to present their
conclusions. We put a premium on creativity in both individual and group
work.
What will you learn?
- you will be able to recognise, diagnose
and solve problems of material, financial, human resources as well as
information management
- you will be prepared to manage processes in the commercial sector, administrative functions and public safety organisations.
Management
Management (or managing) is the administration of an organization, whether it is a business, a not-for-profit organization, or government body. Management includes the activities of setting the strategy of an organization and coordinating the efforts of its employees (or of volunteers) to accomplish its objectives through the application of available resources, such as financial, natural, technological, and human resources. The term "management" may also refer to those people who manage an organization.

It is better to first get the right people on the bus, the wrong people off the bus, and the right people in the right seats, and then figure out where to drive.

Management
The brutality of a man purely motivated by monetary considerations … often does not appear to him at all as a moral delinquency, since he is aware only of a rigorously logical behavior, which draws the objective consequences of the situation.
Georg Simmel, “Domination,” On Individuality and Social Forms (1971), p. 110
