- problem analysis, model design and task identification
- selection of methods to address the identified tasks
- solving tasks using computer software
- verifying the propositional ability of acquired solutions
- implementation of results in the decision-making process
Particular attention is given to computing, with standard software or for the active creation of program products to address economic challenges.
As part of the subjects taught in the guaranteed study programs, the members of the Department present problems and their solutions in the field of optimization, econometrics and mathematical economics, the content of which corresponds to the current teaching trends in these areas.

From the history of the department
The Department of Operational Research and Econometrics was established in 1961 at the Faculty of Economics in Bratislava as the Department of economic-mathematical calculations. Later on it was renamed to the Department of Cybernetics, the Department of economic-mathematical methods, in the year 1990 it acquired its current name as the Department of Operational Research and Econometrics. During this development, in 1970, it became part of the Faculty of Management of the High School of Economics in Bratislava, the current Faculty of Economic Informatics of the University of Economics in Bratislava.
Graduates of Master studies obtained the university degree of studies in the following disciplines: Economic-mathematical calculations, mathematical methods in economics, quantitative methods in economics in the study program of Operational research and Econometrics. The department has brought up many aspirants in the Theory of management and planning and doctoral candidates in the economics and operational research program.
