Topical Course on Digital Services

online course

This course focuses on digital service research on a selected topical area. This summer we focus on how to improve people’s well-being/health with digital service innovations. The course is organized as a five-week intensive course as part of the 31st Jyväskylä Summer School (JSS31). The course literature is based on the 159 digital innovation articles published at the proceedings of International Conference on Information Systems (2016-2021) and Hawaii International Conference on Systems Sciences (2016-2021) and 117 articles published in Journal of Service Research (2000-2021) on different aspects of service design, development, and innovation. The idea is to give the students a broad understanding of the digital service innovation research as a body of knowledge. The course will be given in an online format.
