The objectives of this course are threefold. The first objective is to be able to accurately describe changes in industry structures and situations of business model innovation in general ’ applied to the example of recent e-business evolutions in particular.

The second objective is to master the design of business models using a design-thinking attitude and adopting the ’Managing as designing’ paradigm.

The third objective is to explain why and how information systems research can complement its traditional focus on decision making, organizational design, and performance analysis with an additional new focus on the design, selection, and simulation of business models and similar strategic notions.

The importance of the service economy is widely recognized. New information technology, specially Internet, the social networks and web 2.0, have redefined the ways of conducting business, providing new e-services, new customer experiences, new work practices, and new business models competing in the global market place. This course provides the participants with an understanding of service design, mainly online-service design.

The course integrates principles suggested by the design thinking, applied to business service design. The course introduces concepts, frameworks, and tools for designing new ’front stage’ services, ’back stage’ processes, and business models. Learning will be accomplished through lectures, research, case studies, and group co-design sessions.
