Subject aims expressed by acquired skills and competences
The aim of this comprehensive occupational training course is to achieve such a state of knowledge for students to be able to implement a comprehensive approach to address the issues (problems) of the enterprise. A comprehensive approach is implemented in terms of effective innovative knowledge of economics, marketing and business, management and business law. The aim of study is to lead students to learn and be able to independently analyze the key problems of business processes in terms of their implementation and management. Business processes and problems associated with them are accepted in the form of a systematic structure of corporate value creation chain. The training focused on systems analysis of business processes, and in the development of measures to tackle both surveillance and the potential nature (including innovation) occurring in them, is the application of effective qualitative and qualitative methods (mainly methods that the study and clarified and students applied in the subject KMEA). The specific focus of the consultation of students in this comprehensive course is focused on the analysis and solution of issues that are supposed to address the future of their doctoral dissertation.
More detailed information pertaining to this subject are presented in publication: Information about doctoral study, which is published for given academic year.
