Course content and structure

Societies, economic environments and culture change over time, creating dynamic conditions in which organizations and particularly businesses, need to work, survive and prosper. Therefore, besides an obvious element of creativity, developing services involves also a process of adaptation of services to the surrounding contexts. This course will unpack driving and constraining factors that influence the development of new (or transformation of old) services, by examining entrepreneurial and creative processes in service organization. Through a series of lectures and real-life cases, this course will provide students with the competences required to understand creative and adaptive processes in service organization. The course will lead to the 2nd year project, where students are expected to incorporate knowledge from previous courses such as marketing and management studies, into the new knowledge provided by this course.
Teaching methods
The teaching sessions will include lectures and class discussions. Students are expected to work in groups throughout the course.

In order to register for the 2nd year project, students must submit a ‘group form’ by a given date. Students who do not submit a group form on the given date, are not included in the 2nd year exam. Students that do not have a group by the given date, are randomly grouped by CBS administration. Please note that groups of 1 and 2 students are not accepted for this course.

Groups working on their 2nd year project can request, on their own initiative, supervision support. In order to enroll for supervision, groups must submit a problem formulation for their project, as part of the group form (see conditions for exam). Groups that submit poor or no problem formulation, or submit after the given date, cannot be guaranteed a supervisor.
