Abstract

It is becoming more and more acceptable that we are facing two challenges in educating logisticians. On the one hand, we have to ensure that they gain skills needed to succeed in the world outside the academia; on the other hand, educating students properly contributes to the economy growth, for we live in a highly competitive, changing world.

We need to lay emphasis on the developing not only a professional with theoretical and empirical knowledge, but also a specialist able to apply both, gathering new and deepening already existing understanding of business environment
