Course objectives
The course has a specific position in the sphere of Business Management subjects. While most other courses deal with subparts of a company, respectively different views on this issue, this course has an integrating function. The basic method leading to the acquisition of necessary knowledge and skills is a project management system for a newly built fictitious company. Working on such a project represents a demanding multi-disciplinary nature of work. Therefore, the project is dealt with by teams assuming that individual team members (about 5 persons) specialize in separate parts.

At the end of this course, students should be able to:
- understand the company in its entirety
- integrate knowledge from different courses (such as the corporate economy, management, marketing, accounting, etc.) and apply it to a project management system
- work in a team
