Description
"Smart service management" is one of the elective courses offered in period 4 in the MSc Business Intelligence and Smart Services. The course is based on the idea that for benefiting from development of smart services it is not enough to learn and implement technical aspects of BI nor is the knowledge of customer-driven design of new services. Without a well-thought and full-fledged digital strategy, as well as a supporting digital organization creating beneficial smart value proposition is not feasible. Furthermore, capturing the created value requires a well-developed smart, data-driven and value-based pricing practice.
