Course objectives
The course "Business Economics" will be to acquaint students with the company's functioning in general concerning other disciplines that will follow in the study (accounting, marketing, management…). The partial goal is to comprehensively acquaint the student with the interconnectedness of individual business processes and support his logical thinking and decision-making. The output of his knowledge will be the concept of the company as a living organism, where the student understands that any change in one process causes a chain reaction in other processes and problems of the company can not be solved separately (e.g. only production, only supply).
Learning outcomes
After completing the course, the student will describe and evaluate the fundamental business processes and use the basic calculations of business economics.
