The goal of the course is to improve the knowledge gained within the basic bachelor's degree course Management and Economics of the Enterprise.

Students specify a simple fictional industrial or engineering company or its sub-section (preferably inspired by their practical experience, internships or training program in real company). The first student's task is to prepare a detailed plan and budget of a project (e.g. new product development, product or process innovation, etc.) focused on improvement of profitability, competitiveness or effectiveness of the company. The second task is cost calculation for chosen calculation unit. Last task within this course is the evaluation of economical effectiveness of the project described within the first task. The dynamic methods like Net Present Value (NPV), Internal Rate of Return (IRR) or Discounted Payback Period (DPP) are used for this evaluation. The quality of realization and presentation of the task's outputs together with the results of the test decides on granting / denial of credit.
