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.

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
