It focuses on the rationale of economic and financial literacy, particularly among graduates of different, non-management study programs who are in managerial positions, respectively who are in preparation process for managerial positions. It shows the fact that the economic and financial literacy is a complex managerial skill that in addition to training in management disciplines includes economic, legal, and socio-psychological knowledge and skills. The presented paper originated as part of the project VEGA 1/0662/15.
