Managerial Informatics

The main objectives of the study in the Managerial Informatics program include primarily preparing graduates with broad and deep knowledge and understanding of the theories, concepts, and methods corresponding to the current state of knowledge in the fields of informatics, economics, and management. Graduates of the Managerial Informatics program are capable of independent professional activities and potentially participating in research activities. They can design and manage small and medium-sized businesses and organizations, with deeper knowledge enabling them to analyze, design, implement, and operate information and communication systems closely linked to computing systems and computer networks. They are also capable of managing specialized companies involved in design, consulting, and sales activities in the field of computing, office, and information technology, as well as software. Another goal is to support practical, innovative, and research activities of students and team collaboration through the realization of semester projects within the courses and cooperation with scientific-research workers through the student grant system at SU. An important goal of the study is to connect students with practice through the Business Gate center. The center is operated by the statutory city of Karviná, in collaboration with SU OPF and with the participation of other partners, such as the Institute of Interdisciplinary Research and companies. The study program should also motivate talented students to continue their studies in a doctoral program.

After successfully completing his/her studies the graduate is able to:

• independently solve tasks using theoretical knowledge and practical skills from the fields of informatics, economics, and management;
• conceive and manage primarily small and medium-sized enterprises and organizations;
• analyze, design, implement, and operate information and communication systems in close connection with computing systems and computer networks;
• design concepts and apply methods corresponding to the current state of knowledge in the fields of informatics, economics, and management;
• manage specialized companies engaged in design, consulting, and sales activities in the fields of computing, office, and information technology and software;
• define and handle the solutions of complex tasks and formulate conclusions and decisions based on incomplete or limited information;
• design large-scale information systems and manage projects for their development and implementation;
• design the structure of project teams and manage their activities based on the analysis of project requirements and the available human, technological, and financial resources;
• carry out expert or scientific research activities;
• interpret data from their field that reflect relevant scientific, professional, and ethical issues to both specialists and the general public;
• communicate in a global language - English.

The graduate is capable of independently solving problems by utilizing both theoretical and practical knowledge, including defining a framework for solving a problem by other team members and coordinating the team’s activities during the process. Furthermore, the graduate demonstrates broad and deep knowledge and understanding of theories, concepts, and methods corresponding to the current state of knowledge in the fields of informatics, economics, and management. They are able to perform independent professional activities and participate in research activities. The graduate is prepared to conceptualize and manage small and medium-sized businesses and organizations, with deeper knowledge that enables them to analyze, design, implement, and operate information and communication systems closely linked to computing systems and computer networks. They are also capable of managing specialized companies involved in design, consulting, and sales activities in the field of computing, office, and information technology, as well as software. The graduate possesses the ability to handle the complexity of these tasks, formulate conclusions, and make decisions based on incomplete or limited information. The foundation is knowledge acquired at the bachelor's level, which is further expanded in the program to provide the basis and opportunities for original applications of ideas. In doing so, the graduate considers the social and ethical contexts and the corresponding responsibility that arises from applying knowledge and making decisions. The graduate is able to clearly and unambiguously convey their knowledge, opinions, and conclusions, and communicate in at least one foreign language (specifically English). They possess educational skills that allow them to continue their studies at a higher level, including through independent self-study.
