Syllabus

Service Design Project is a response to the growing importance of service in a rapidly changing economic landscape and the subsequent requirement to understand how organisations and businesses can adapt, survive and prosper in this new environment. Students conduct an applied project on an existing service, business, or industry, to analyse it from a service perspective and develop recommendations concerning its competitive future. Students will be required to draw upon and utilise appropriate concepts, ideas, and service theory to inform their analysis. Students will gain experience in conducting real world research that will equip them with the confidence and experience to successfully investigate and evaluate service businesses and ensure their ongoing success.
