Course content
The course provides an introduction to some approaches and methods within service design and how these relate to product design. The aim is to offer students a general overview of how the design of products and services can contribute to value creation for organisations.
The course focus on value creation through design for different types of organisations and contexts. The students are introduced to product-service-system in theory and practice, through a selection of methods. Throughout the course, potential possibilities and challenges connected to products in service systems are analysed.
In the project the students will apply relevant methods when developing a product-service concept and then reflect on value creation through design. Here supervision plays a crucial role.
