Economics and Management of Businesses with Process Manufacturing Operations

Guarantor of the study programme: doc. Ing. Liběna Tetřevová, Ph.D.

We understand process manufacturing operations to mean such chemical and biochemical processes which, as opposed to mechanical manufacturing operations, create products resulting from input materials and components through the application of chemical and biochemical technologies that have a different chemical structure and also new end-use properties. Process manufacturing operations are relevant to a greater or lesser extent not only in fields of the chemical industry, but also in technologically related fields such as the food industry, pharmaceutics, photochemistry, the paper industry, the plastic and rubber industry, etc.

The doctoral study programme builds on the knowledge, skills and competences of students gained in the follow-up master's study programme and its aim is to further develop these.  Students will improve their thinking, knowledge and skills, both in the field of theory and modern new methods and procedures in economic management disciplines, and also in the field of chemical technology, biological and biochemical production, as well as methodology of scientific work. During the study programme, emphasis is placed on the role of socially sensitive businesses with process manufacturing operations in the knowledge society of today, and their contribution towards sustainable development.

Graduates of the given study programme will be able to link knowledge and skills from the fields of economic management and chemical technology, will be able to establish effective interaction between theory and practice, both during their scientific research activities and also while managing businesses. The study programme prepares scientific research workers and develops scientific research work, including grant and publication activities of various scientific research institutions.
