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. linear programming, network modeling, decision theory) and will be trained in their applications particulary with PC use.
