The aim of the course is for students to acquire increased knowledge and understanding of how business models can be used to analyse problems and challenges with a focus on value creation in companies and other organisations. This is done in order to develop operations and contribute to increased competitiveness and profitability.

The course covers concepts, theories, models, and methods with a focus on business models and value creation related to digitalisation, innovations, and sustainability. Concrete tools that can facilitate the work of understanding and developing business models are presented and applied throughout the course in order for students to grasp and improve the business models in question. Common challenges related to business models are identified and presented specifically in relation to digitalisation, innovations, and sustainability. After completing the course, students have a better understanding of how the business models used in their own organisations can be improved and developed.

A key aspect of the course is that students apply concepts, theories, models, and methods to their own problems and share experiences with each other. The course requires active participation in creating the course content through seminar discussions and other learning activities throughout the course. The course content is partly contributed by the students themselves and based on their experiences, questions, and challenges in the context of their own work. The course involves independent study, continuous reading, and active reflective participation.
