Ensuring high-quality education is one of the priority tasks set for the university community. The high quality of education directly affects the competitiveness of future specialists not only in the domestic, but also in the international labor market.

The Department of Management has been contributing to the training of managers for all spheres of the national economy for more than 25 years. At the same time, the main emphasis in the training of future managers is on the synthesis of management theory and practice in order to advance the training of personnel for the development of the national economy. Now managers need to be able to manage employees and various processes in the company not only in accordance with plans, but also in conditions that sharply violate these plans, i.e crisis situations. This is the reason for the need to develop practical crisis management competencies of future managers.
