Double Degree in Management & Design Management Engineering & Product-Service System Design
The scenario Business Model Design Product-Service System Design Management Engineering Design Design Management Design Thinking
Why Increased relevance of services and innovative business models additional capabilities to designers Competition based on innovation rather than position (from a structural approach to competition (Porter 1980) to a reconstructionist (Kim and Mauborgne, 2004, 2005) or social-constructionist (Prahalad and Ramaswamy, 2000) approach) additional capabilities to managers
Profile The area of action: the design and management of innovative business models and organizations for product-service systems. That means: Product-service system: the profile goes beyond products to embrace the entire system of product-service-communication, with a special focus on services Business models: the focus is on complex systems of values for people and for businesses, network constellations that create values (collaborative organizations, including different forms of institutions and profit/not-for-profit), value capturing strategies Design = capability to conceive and visualize business models that create value for people Management Engineering = capability to create value for businesses and to lead the innovation process For existing organizations and for start-ups
Characteristics A double degree: both capabilities. Especially, both sensitivities and perspectives. With two intakes: two possible inclinations Not 1 (now) + 1 (later), but simultaneous! An integrated offering (class, reflection) Unique positioning compared to other programs Subject: Product-Service System Approach. Not a design course with a flavor of management engineering or a management engineering course with a flavor of design, but really absorbing the two ways of thinking by being immersed in two different schools with other neat pedigree students. Targeted to international prospects
