    8. Synopsis

    Engineering Management (EM) situations and solution

    1. Aims and functions of EM. Roles of electrical and computer engineers in the information society. Structure and economic role of Information and Communications Technologies (ICT). Business priorities, business value generation.
    2. Definition, characteristics and components of management.
    3. Management corporate IT, communications engineering and business functions. Operative and strategic management tasks.
    4. Principles, models and procedures of EM in the field of information transmission and processing.
    5. Techno-economic modelling, optimization.
    6. Management tasks in network planning, location, control, distribution, scheduling and resource allocation.
    7. Statistic and heuristic procedures in the preparation of techno-economic decisions.

    Innovation-management

    1. Areas, tools and institutions of innovation-management, forms of promotion of innovation.
    2. Future oriented technology forecast, recognition of technological breakthrough, management of changing generation.
    3. Procedure, institutions and influence of standardization on the markets of technology. Relationship among innovation, competiton and standardization.
    4. Intellectual property rights in the innovation procedure: protection of technical works, works of authors, databases, rights of neighbours, trademarks.
    5. Steps in development of technology/product, procedure of market admission, methods of development marketing
    6. Roles of ICT in development product/business, its contribution to value genaration.
    7. Corporate culture, corporate behaviour in innovative organizations.
    9. Method of instruction Interactive lecture.
    10. Assessment a. During semester: 2 midterms of the maximum score of 30 - 30.
        Condition of passing the subject and receiving term mark: passing each midterm of at least 10 points.
    b. During exam term: no exams.
    c. No exams during semester.
    11. Recaps

    Any one of the midterms can be replaced (improved) during both the semester and the week of replacements, but only one of them can be replaced (improved). To replace (improve) a midterm during the week of replacements students have to register for a “signature replacing exam” in Neptun system and pay extra service fee. The conditions (including the subject) of the replacing (improving) midterms are the same as the ones of the ordinary midterms. The result of the improving midterm overwrites the one of the improved midterm.
