The subject will provide an understanding of the importance and role of managers, where innovation and entrepreneurship are important elements in relation to the business and working life of the future. The engineering profession is most often carried out interdisciplinary, where one must exercise one's work and cooperation with others and in relation to society and business life. Basic knowledge within business economics is therefore important.
