Nowadays, manufacturing companies are striving to realize servizitation, the shift from a traditional product-centric business
model to service-oriented one for creating new competitive and sustainable value. Service design is one of the core approaches
towards servitization. This course aims to provide students with knowledge about the basics, tools as well as applications
of service design. Specifically, it deals with what is service and how design contribute to service business development in
manufacturing and service industries. At the end of course, participants are expected to explain the principles and practices
of service and develop a unique service concept solution for one of the current social issues.
Through the introduction of specific theories and case studies, understand the essence and significance of "service design"
from the following perspectives.
1. The meaning and value of services that extend and complement the functions and utility of products.
2. Meaning and measure of design to expand the value of services.
