Business model for the decade to come

Description

Business Model for the Decade to Come is an advanced-level course designed for students seeking to critically engage with the evolving paradigms of value creation in the context of major global transitions. As organizations face increasing pressure to adapt to environmental imperatives, digital transformation, artificial intelligence, and shifting stakeholder expectations, traditional business models are being fundamentally challenged.

This course provides a comprehensive exploration of innovative and sustainable business models that respond to the complexity of the contemporary economic environment. Through in-depth case studies, academic literature, and the application of strategic tools such as the Business Model Canvas, SDG mapping, and Circular Design Thinking, students will be equipped to analyze, design, and evaluate forward-looking business strategies.

Participants will develop analytical and creative capabilities essential for understanding how organizations can align profitability with social and environmental responsibility. Emphasis will be placed on interdisciplinary approaches, critical thinking, and collaborative problem-solving.

The course also fosters reflection on the ethical and systemic dimensions of business model innovation. It is particularly relevant for students aiming to pursue careers in strategy, innovation management, entrepreneurship, or corporate sustainability.
