Servitization: from theory to practice
5.0 ECTS creditsThe aim of the course is for students to acquire enhanced knowledge and understanding of how a holistic perspective on servitisation can be used to analyse opportunities and challenges, with a focus on value creation in businesses and other organisations. There is a focus on service ecosystems, value creation, and sustainability, with a special emphasis on manufacturing companies. However, the models and theories presented in the course are also applicable to service providers and other types of organisations. Concrete models, theories, and models that can facilitate processes of change in the direction of servitisation are discussed. Upon completion of the course, students have developed a plan for how their own organisations can implement the process of change required for servitisation in practice.
The course requires independent study, continual reading, and active participation and reflection in seminars. A central part of the course is for students to reflect upon the application of models, theories, and methods, and share experiences with each other. The course content is thus co-created with the students and discussions are based on their questions and challenges in their own work.
