Description
The Smart Service Project gives students a challenging opportunity to apply and extend the knowledge they acquire in the mandatory and elective courses of the BISS master program. Students will tackle a real business problem, in order to develop a smart service; that is, a service that exploits today’s data- and technology-rich environment to support managerial decision-making or facilitate end-consumers’ daily lives. The goal is to develop and (partly) implement the smart service.
Literature
The exact literature depends on the specific project of the group and it is to be decided by the students. Coordinators will provide relevant literature when students are confronted with new tools or methods that have not been addressed in any of the courses. This content may take the form of literature, online learning materials (e.g., videos, moocs), or workshops.
