Course Grade:

Please note that you will NOT be required to take an end-of-semester exam for this course. Instead, the course requires deliverables that are conveniently spread out over the semester to avoid a temporary accumulation of high workloads.

Instead of an exam, the grade consists of three components.

  • Participation during the course (based on contributions in class and online activities) (20%)
  • Individual (video) presentation and report of a topic related to the course (40%)
  •  Group project to apply the insights of the course (incl. presentation and final report) (40%)

Description

Services dominate almost all types of economies today. The service sector accounts for most of the gross domestic product in industrialized countries and provides most jobs in many highly developed nations worldwide. Moreover, the rapid technological advancements (e.g., big data, blockchain, AI, robotics, machine learning) have caused a digital service revolution that strongly impacts our society and the way we do business. Our economies are at the dawn of a digital service revolution similar to the industrial revolution in manufacturing that started in the late 18th century. Thus, contemporary service marketing management in light of the digital age becomes even more critical.
