These concepts will help students understand the behavior of economic agents: households, businesses, and public actors. At a level above the introductory one, the course covers the theoretical foundations of the two main components of microeconomic theory: (i) consumer theory and (ii) producer theory. The treatment of these topics is limited to the conditions of a perfectly competitive market. In the first part, consumer theory, the course begins with the consumer\u2019s budget constraint. It then examines the other side of consumer behavior: how the consumer perceives their utility. This includes the development of utility theory, preference theory, and consumer choice theory. Consumer theory concludes with the construction of the individual and market supply curves, as a concrete expression of consumer behavior.         <\/div>\n<div class=\"cs-panel\"><b>Business Analysis I (Principles of Management)<\/b><br\/>The main objective of this course is to engage students from an active research perspective, rather than as consumers of facts and formulas. The solid foundations that students will gain in this course will help them recognize connections to the real world of management. The course Business Analysis I (Principles of Management) is deeply rooted in a Druckerian philosophy, summarized in the words of the founder of modern management, Peter Drucker:<br\/>\u201cA manager who understands the discipline of management can still be an effective manager \u2014 perhaps even a first-rate one \u2014 even with minimal knowledge of managerial tools and techniques. A person who knows only skills and techniques, without understanding the principles of management, is not a manager, but merely a technician.\u201d (Drucker, 1974).  <\/div>\n<div class=\"cs-panel\"><b>Mathematics<\/b><br\/>The course will consist of lectures and seminars. The lectures will address important topics in mathematical culture that are essential for the field of Business Administration, focusing on the most necessary themes and their organic interconnections. Several areas of mathematics are expected to be covered. The goal is to prepare students to understand, interpret, and apply in practice some fundamental elements of mathematics. During this course, guided by the instructor, students will acquire and reflect on the knowledge that forms the basic concepts of Algebra, Analysis, and Probability.    <\/div>\n<div class=\"cs-panel\"><b>Quantitative Methods I (Statistics I)<\/b><br\/>The objective of the course is to provide students with fundamental knowledge of quantitative methods and to equip them with research and professional skills for their use in the process of formulating research problems and objectives, as well as in applying statistical techniques for data collection, interpretation, and descriptive analysis of a specific sector, area, or phenomenon.<\/div>\n<div class=\"cs-panel\"><b>Academic Writing<\/b><br\/>Get to know the field of academic writing and literature, learn how to understand, interpret, and analyze an academic paper.

It also aims to strengthen students\u2019 research, writing, and presentation skills. <\/div>\n<div class=\"cs-panel\"><b>Business Analysis II (Operations Management)<\/b><br\/>Given that the creation of products and services represents the main reason for the existence of any organization\u2014whether small or large, manufacturing or service-oriented, profit or non-profit\u2014managers must understand the importance of operations. This is because effective operations management provides the opportunity to improve revenues while ensuring that products and services are produced more efficiently. This combination of higher revenues and lower costs should be understood as one of the most important factors in any organization by all managers.  <\/div>\n<div class=\"cs-panel\"><b>Environmental Economics and Climate Change<\/b><br\/>The main objective is to understand and analyze the relationship between the environment and the economy. The environment is an essential component of the economic system, and without it, this system cannot function. Economists have begun to treat the environment as an asset and a resource. According to environmental economists, environmental degradation is the result of market system failure to assign value to the environment, even though it serves economic functions and provides economic benefits. It is argued that environmental assets tend to be overused or abused, leading to their degradation. Therefore, the environment should be studied and integrated into the economic system and taken seriously by decision-makers.    <\/div>\n<\/div>\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"accordion-section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"accordion-header\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"accordion-title-wrapper\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h6 class=\"accordion-title\">Semester V<\/h6>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"accordion-icons\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tclass=\"accordion-icon opened-icon\"><i class=\"far fa-angle-down\"><\/i><\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tclass=\"accordion-icon closed-icon\"><\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"accordion-content\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"cs-grid\">\n<input id=\"sem5-c1\" class=\"cs-radio\" checked name=\"sem5\" type=\"radio\">\n<input id=\"sem5-c2\" class=\"cs-radio\" name=\"sem5\" type=\"radio\">\n<input id=\"sem5-c3\" class=\"cs-radio\" name=\"sem5\" type=\"radio\">\n<input id=\"sem5-c4\" class=\"cs-radio\" name=\"sem5\" type=\"radio\">\n<input id=\"sem5-c5\" class=\"cs-radio\" name=\"sem5\" type=\"radio\">\n<input id=\"sem5-c6\" class=\"cs-radio\" name=\"sem5\" type=\"radio\">\n<nav class=\"cs-list\">\n<label class=\"cs-tab\" for=\"sem5-c1\">Change Management <small>6 credits<\/small><\/label>\n<label class=\"cs-tab\" for=\"sem5-c2\">Financial Analysis and Reporting <small>6 credits<\/small><\/label>\n<label class=\"cs-tab\" for=\"sem5-c3\">Business Strategy <small>6 credits<\/small><\/label>\n<label class=\"cs-tab\" for=\"sem5-c4\">Circular Economy <small>3 credits<\/small><\/label>\n<label class=\"cs-tab\" for=\"sem5-c5\">Financial Economics <small>6 credits<\/small><\/label>\n<label class=\"cs-tab\" for=\"sem5-c6\">Leadership <small>3 credits<\/small><\/label>\n<\/nav>\n<div class=\"cs-panel\"><b>Change Management<\/b><br\/>The course \u201cChange Management\u201d addresses the process of organizational change as an essential dimension of contemporary management.

EDUCATION PROGRAM Semester I Introduction to Microeconomics 6 Credits Business Analysis I (Principles of Management) 6 Credits Mathematics 6 Credits Quantitative Methods I (Statistics I) 6 Credits Academic Writing 6 Credits Introduction to MicroeconomicsThe course aims to equip students with the basic concepts of economics. These concepts will help students understand the behavior of economic agents: households, businesses, and public actors. At a level above the introductory one, the course covers the theoretical foundations of the two main components of microeconomic theory: (i) consumer theory and (ii) producer theory. The treatment of these topics is limited to the conditions of a perfectly competitive market. In the first part, consumer theory, the course begins with the consumer\u2019s budget constraint. It then examines the other side of consumer behavior: how the consumer perceives their utility. This includes the development of utility theory, preference theory, and consumer choice theory. Consumer theory concludes with the construction of the individual and market supply curves, as a concrete expression of consumer behavior. Business Analysis I (Principles of Management)The main objective of this course is to engage students from an active research perspective, rather than as consumers of facts and formulas. The solid foundations that students will gain in this course will help them recognize connections to the real world of management. The course Business Analysis I (Principles of Management) is deeply rooted in a Druckerian philosophy, summarized in the words of the founder of modern management, Peter Drucker:\u201cA manager who understands the discipline of management can still be an effective manager \u2014 perhaps even a first-rate one \u2014 even with minimal knowledge of managerial tools and techniques. A person who knows only skills and techniques, without understanding the principles of management, is not a manager, but merely a technician.\u201d (Drucker, 1974). MathematicsThe course will consist of lectures and seminars. The lectures will address important topics in mathematical culture that are essential for the field of Business Administration, focusing on the most necessary themes and their organic interconnections. Several areas of mathematics are expected to be covered. The goal is to prepare students to understand, interpret, and apply in practice some fundamental elements of mathematics. During this course, guided by the instructor, students will acquire and reflect on the knowledge that forms the basic concepts of Algebra, Analysis, and Probability. Quantitative Methods I (Statistics I)The objective of the course is to provide students with fundamental knowledge of quantitative methods and to equip them with research and professional skills for their use in the process of formulating research problems and objectives, as well as in applying statistical techniques for data collection, interpretation, and descriptive analysis of a specific sector, area, or phenomenon.
