Data Driven Business Model Development (BDS300)

This course is a follow up of BDS250 Big Data Analyses where the focus is an applied approach into a set of businesscases.An increasing number of companies, both within private and public sector, base their operations on digital businessmodels. These models give a constantly stream of incoming data about e.g., internal quality, cost and profit margins,customers’ behaviors and preferences, customers’ lifelong value etc. Such data will improve decisions about externadaption and intern integrations. However, the course will also study adaptive management processes that are needed in order implement decision systems and the realization of actual decisions. The course applies anincremental view of adaptive processes.
