Hence, in this paper authors have analyzed relevant business data from ISVU for undergraduate and specialist graduate studies in Management, for 5 previous academic years (from 2012/2013 to 2016/2017). Since students at studies in Management make the half of all enrolled students at College of Slavonski Brod, the emphasis of this paper was put precisely on them. This study included data on the number and status of students, data on the counties that they came from, the achieved average grades in secondary schools and vocational secondary schools. Analysis of the most relevant business data has shown that e.g. it is evident that students who have enrolled for full-time study have achieved higher average grade in secondary school, while those students who have enrolled for part-time study have achieved lower average grade in secondary school ; analysis of educational sectors has shown that full-time students mainly finished secondary schools in educational sector of economy, trade and business administration, while part-time students finished secondary schools for variety of other sectors. Inter- connected was business data synthesis, that takes into consideration all academic years that has shown e.g. increases and decreases number of students ; increases and decreases of the total number of points achieved at the state graduation exam (with and without admission exam). Authors have also composed closing paragraphs i.e. roundups that were utilized to make recommendations with regard to various instances that require certain actions. In the last part authors have concluded all parts of this paper whose aim was to contribute to solidifying foundations for the positive future developments and for potentially new study programs at the College of Slavonski Brod. All of those parts have the potential to attract new and larger number of undergraduate and graduate students, for all mentioned departments, including Social department.
