Head of Unit at APB “Apranga”

 

The Economics studies in KTU deepened my knowledge and skills necessary in the evaluation of business and economics challenges in the globalisation context and in making daily decisions related to the company’s management. Modelling of business environment, strategic insights, financial and marketing decisions of the company are only a small share of competencies I acquired when studying in this programme.

The Economics studies helped me to educate my analytical skills, their application in practical activity by analysing and interpreting the sources, performing the empirical research and summarising the conclusions. The global context opened the possibilities to apply the acquired skills in daily situations and in making strategic decisions of the international company.

When choosing between universities, I singled out KTU Economics studies as one of the strongest in Lithuania. I hoped and got a rational understanding of economics that I could rely on when analyzing situations and making decisions in the public sector and business.
