  • Describe and explain how IPSO influence a business model, a network of companies (including a customer), risk and contracts.
  • Describe and explain how IPSE influence a companyâ?Ts functions, e.g. product development and service development.
  • Describe and explain how some Swedish companies (incl. SMEs) work on IPSE/IPSO as an example.
  • Apply some of the courseâ?Ts contents in designing/developing a hypothetical IPSO by analysing and modifying an existing or prospective offering.

General technical knowledge from three years of study at a technical university. Especially, knowledge about product development in general.

Note: Admission requirements for non-programme students usually also include admission requirements for the programme and threshhold requirements for progression within the programme, or corresponding.

Organisation:
Instruction is given in the form of lectures and a project work. Course grades are determined based on the written exam and the written report (and possibly an oral presentation) by each project group.
