Course content

Private and public organisations are increasingly delivering services rather than products. For instance, newspapers are less about producing a paper product and more about browser/ mobile presentations, tailoring of ads, added services for subscribers, opening up for recommender services based on users’ behaviour or preferences.

ICT is characterised by being programmable, extendable and composed into layers which invite development of new services. ICT thus promotes unique opportunities for digital service innovation.

The course focuses on three aspects of digital service innovation:

Service ecosystem (roles, business models, institutional setting)
Service platform (technical platform, architecture, layered model)
Co-created value (for whom? Experienced value, situated value)

The course addresses relevant theoretical concepts and models. The course also discusses selected cases/ examples

Learning outcome

Knowledge: The candidate will establish deep knowledge about concepts of, models for and experiences with digital service innovation.

Skills: The candidate will gain solid skills in identifying, developing and evaluating new service platforms in realistic situations.

Competence: The candidate will estabslish an interdisciplary compentence in understanding the business-oriented, strategic, technological and social conditions to realise digital service innovation in practice.

Learning methods and activities

The course consists of lecutres and project work. The students need to complete a group-based project as well as an individual assignment. The group project is to develop the concept, arkitecture and service plattform for a selected organisation. The individual assignment discusses the group project in light of relevant literature from the course’s curriculum.
The group-based project counts for 50% and the indivual assignment 50% of the evaluation. Both parts need a pass for a student to obtain a pass in the course.
