Business Models in a changing environment

The aim of the course is for students to acquire increased knowledge and understanding of how business models can be used to analyse problems and challenges with a focus on value creation in companies and other organisations. The course covers concepts, theories, models, and methods with a focus on business models and value creation related to digitalisation, innovations, and sustainability. Concrete tools that can facilitate the work of understanding and developing business models are presented and applied throughout the course in order for students to grasp and improve the business models in question. Common challenges related to business models are identified and presented specifically in relation to digitalisation, innovations, and sustainability. After completing the course, students have a better understanding of how the business models used in their own organisations can be improved and developed. The course requires active participation in creating the course content through seminar discussions and other learning activities throughout the course. The course involves independent study, continuous reading, and active reflective participation.
