Sisältö

This course focuses on service research, more specifically on innovation and design of cyber physical, cognitive, and smart services. The readings are based on academic journal and conference articles. The course focuses on a critical examination and evaluation of the literature on a variety of key service research topics of today. The idea is to give you an understanding of the contemporary research in the selected areas and prepare you to conduct your own research. The academic goal of the course is to prepare students for doing research in the area of cyber physical, cognitive, and smart services. A basic grounding in the concepts underlying research in the discipline is essential if students are to succeed in completing the graduate program. This course is designed to introduce students to the contemporary research priorities in the area (Ostrom et al. 2015, Peters et al. 2016). Students need to understand the nature of service research as a discipline and current research issues and themes. A number of current research areas will be identified and representative papers examined.
