Course content
Business model innovation is related to how new and existing companies can act in order to create and capture value. Business model innovation focus on how firms adapt and transform themselves in order to pursue higher performance and competitive advantage. In this course will we look at the underpinnings of the business model concept, the dimensions, attributes and outcome of business model research.
Since its origins in the ideas of Stanford's John E. Arnold over 60 years ago, design thinking (DT) has evolved to be one of the fastest growing approaches to innovation across the globe. With its emphasis on rapid prototyping and testing, its empathy (EQ) and user-centered design, and its focus on people and our needs, DT privileges the human and creative practices in the pursuit of innovation.
