The Faculty of Management at the Warsaw University of Technology (pl.: Wydział Zarządzania Politechniki Warszawskiej , WZ) is a business school in Warsaw, Poland.

The Faculty of Management traces its origins back over a century with a distinguished history in the field of management science. It has evolved with the changing conditions in Polish industry and society, adapting to educate managers and conducting research meeting international standards.

Its facilities are located on the southern side of the Warsaw University of Technology campus on ul. Narbutta 85.

The roots of the current Faculty of Management extend to 1922, when Karol Adamiecki established the Department of Work Organization Principles of Industrial Enterprises at the Warsaw University of Technology.^[1] Adamiecki, a pioneer in scientific management, laid the foundational principles for what would become a cornerstone of management education in Poland. It was also and also one of the first such department in the world.^[2]

The legacy of Adamiecki's department was continued with the establishment of the Department of Engineering and Economics in 1953, situated within the Faculty of Mechanical Engineering (now known as the Faculty of Production Engineering or the Faculty of Mechanical and Industrial Engineering). This integration underscored the interdisciplinary nature of management, combining technical expertise with economic principles. Further consolidation occurred in 1970 with the merger of the Engineering and Economic Department and the Department of Economics and Production Organization from the Faculty of Precision Mechanics (now the Faculty of Mechatronics). This fusion led to the creation of the Institute of Management Organization. The Institute underwent a renaming in 1985, becoming the Institute of Organization of Production Systems, reflecting an evolving focus on systemic approaches to production management.

Finally, the independent Faculty of Management was formally established in 2008, drawing upon the substantial resources and expertise accumulated within this Institute (which was then part of the Faculty of Production Engineering).^[3] This marked a significant milestone, granting management studies a dedicated academic unit within the university structure.^[4]

Throughout this extensive historical trajectory, the Faculty of Management has consistently served as a vital institution, dedicated to educating industrial and managerial leaders for the needs of Poland's economy, while continuously striving to meet and exceed international academic and professional standards.

The core mission of the Faculty of Management is multifaceted.^[5]

• To strengthen the Faculty's position through rigorous scientific research.
• To foster robust cooperation with the business environment within Poland and globally.
• To consistently develop the competencies of its academic and administrative staff.

The Faculty's main scope of research is broad and interdisciplinary, encompassing critical areas of modern management.^[6]
