Description |
"Smart Service Management" deals with the managerial aspects of designing and developing new smart services. Complementary to the course “Service Design”, which focuses on the customer perspectives in developing new services, this course takes an internal perspective studying the organization creating the service. Specifically, we review strategic, organizational, and operational aspects of new service development.
