Learning outcomes

The aim of the course is to introduce, discuss and learn contemporary management theories and develop the ability to apply business research methods used in the analysis of companies and their management. In the current era of rapidly developing globalised markets, increased customer demands, the advent of process management, digitalisation and the introduction of the Industry 4.0 concept, business management is based on a complex approach characterised by an understanding of the interconnectedness of the relationships between the differentiated parts of managed systems as well as the phenomena that take place within them. In achieving and maintaining the competitiveness of enterprises and the development of organisations, managers cannot do without knowledge and mastery of management theories, strategic management methods, evaluation of market potential and added value for customers, business process management methods and others.
In the Management course, students will learn a systems approach to managing organisations, advanced methods in particular areas of management and key methodological practices of business research. Students will be able to independently conduct research in the field of management and actively use its individual methodological tools, including their modifications. Students will learn about contemporary trends in management, including the Industry 4.0 concept and its relevance to business management.
