The department is engaged in the training of highly qualified economists at the bachelor’s level in “Business Administration” and “Marketing”.

The modern market economy system has certain principles and regularities, the most important of which is competition. At present, business units operate in a competitive environment, regardless of their size, field of activity or legal form. In such a situation, not only their success, but also their survival and continuation of their activities depend on their competitiveness and ability to compete. This is possible only with the involvement of qualified personnel trained in accordance with modern requirements for business management.

The main purpose of the department of “Business Administration” is to train personnel with the ability to organize and manage business efficiently, productively and profitably in accordance with the requirements of modern times.

The department of Business Administration is the only department in the country engaged in the training of highly qualified economists at the bachelor’s, master’s and doctoral levels in Business Administration and Marketing. The department has made a great contribution to the establishment of the Entrepreneurship Army in the Republic of Azerbaijan.

In addition to inculcating practical, management, communication and decision-making skills in both specialties, the department aims to meet the demand for products, services, distribution, advertising and evaluation in the media and the public sector, includes training marketers who show up.

The main purpose of the department is to educate students who can adapt to the increasingly competitive environment by taking into account globalization not only locally but also internationally.

The main purpose of teaching “Business Management” is to teach bachelors of economics theoretical and practical issues of organization and management of business activities, development directions of priority areas of entrepreneurship, mechanism of development and implementation of business projects, essence and structure of business plan, production plan, investment planning, to teach the formation of a team of managers, the choice of management style, human resource management in business, strategic management and other issues.

Upon completion of this specialty, the student will have the opportunity to study the types of business, their content, development of business concepts and strategies, experience in the organization and management of business in Western countries, the current state of formation and development of free markets in Azerbaijan.

The specialty “Marketing” teaches a student to whom, where and in what form companies / enterprises sell their products and services. Marketing involves the study of the market, as a result of which the market learns to offer products / services that meet the needs of buyers and can compete with other market participants. It is the responsibility of these professionals to identify and advertise the risk groups for which the product or service will be sold.

When creating value-creating activities in enterprises, it is necessary to listen to them in order to produce in accordance with the needs of consumers. There is a need for qualified people to work in this field to provide the products they want to the countries they want.

Graduates of this major can work in a variety of professional groups, from advertising management, public relations, the private sector to the sales sector and the government sector, from product management to customer relations, from logistics to marketing research. In addition, the concept of digital marketing, e-commerce, new and globalizing global needs, and the disappearance of professional boundaries can be targeted.
