Mandatory Mid-term Assignment: Mid-term assignments will be organized as small team oral presentations. The students will be asked to work in groups of maximum five persons and they will be required to write a 3-4 page paper that compares and analyses the different approaches to business models frameworks, for example, Osterwalder et al (2010) and Chesbrough, H., Rosenbloom, R. S. (2002). Furthermore, the comparison has to be made by using case studies chosen by them. Each group will have to prepare a maximum of ten-minute power point presentation, and be prepared for a five minutes questions and answers session. The discussions, followed by feedback, will give all students a better understanding of the sensitive issues when analysing business models. |

Course content and structure | |||||||||||||||||||||
Practitioners are increasingly interested in business models and
the innovation of these, but research has only slowly responded to
this significant interest. Hence, this course is an attempt to
accommodate this need from the business world by providing a
research-based perspective on business model innovation.

Teaching methods | |||||||||||||||||||||
The course is lecture-based through
short cases presented in class by instructors. In-class group work
will be required in order to discuss case studies and the issues
raised by these.
Preliminary Assignment: To help students get maximum value from ISUP courses, instructors provide a reading or a small number of readings to be read before the start of classes with a related task or tasks in the first two classes in order to 'jump-start' the learning process. As a preliminary reading assignment students will have to read the first five chapters from the text book: Harvard Business Review on Rebuilding Your Business Model, 2011, which encompasses about 100 pages. These chapters will provide the theoretical foundation necessary for further developing discussions in the class. Furthermore, students are required to read the journal articles in the course outline as they will have the responsibility to prepare critical assessment, in groups, of one or two designated articles. This task will be announced in the first lecture. |
