The paper presents an alternative approach to mathematical lessons for students of economical universities. The suggested approach aims to improve the students' skills in identification of a managerial problem and suggestion of relevant mathematical techniques for its solution. The method is based on an alternative conception of mathematical lessons and it is demonstrated on the case study in which the traditional approach is compared to the alternative one. The differences between both approaches and related advantages and disadvantages of the method suggested are discussed and some practical experiences from the application of the method in the lessons of mathematics at Faculty of Business and Economics, Mendel University in Brno are presented.

Keywords: Mathematics, applied mathematics, economics, management
