Summary
The main emphasis is placed on the creation and application of economic and
mathematics models for the support of managerial decision making. Students
will acquire knowledge of character, substance, application areas and the
level of utilization of operations research models and particular methods (i.e. graph theory, linear programming, network modeling, structure analysis) and will be trained in their applications particulary with PC use.
