Summary

The importance of mathematical methods for improving managerial decision-making is widely known. For many practical experiences it is clear that the appropriate application of these methods can achieve important economic outcomes, and thus significantly contribute to quality managerial decisions at the micro, mezzo and macro levels. The course objective is to give the student the opportunity to gain an idea of the importance and possibilities of decision-quantitative methods in economics, especially in terms of their application in managerial decision making. There is no order for a student to become a leading expert in the application of mathematical methods, but to gradually gained practical knowledge, which will facilitate solutions to a number of decision problems of the regional economy and other areas to be able to judge when to use which method, to know its principles and options, and know how to make the best results obtained and used effectively. Courses with similar contents in English often called Decision Making Methods, or Management Science as well, which only emphasizes the fact that it was a management decision for the manager are basic methods of work that deserves to be studied as a separate scientific discipline.
