Summary

Introduction

The new programme in Production and Operations Management was started in 1997, and is linked to research work and technology transfer within the Department. My teaching goal is to prepare students for dealing with real-world settings and for implementing the most effective up-to-date practices in the area of operations management. As part of this effort, students are required to participate in a field project. Asking the fourth question is the key to staying current, fresh, and enthusiastic about teaching For this reason the students do formal coursework, and participate in a series of management development seminars, which provide an overview of Czech business concepts and practices. I have a growing number of international students joining my classes taught in English language
