The core of the lecture will be on understanding the argumentation process of business decisions, that Mr. Tomažič developed in his scientific monograph 'Argumentation of business decisions.' It explains how quality decision-making takes place in business practice, and at the same time creates a practically useful model that can help managers, consultants, and other stakeholders in professional decision-making.
