The area of action:

the design and management of innovative business models

and organisations for product-service systems.

In a world that is continuously changing, design and innovation are the main source of renewal and prosperity. They are necessary for society, to address the challenges of sustainability in a hyper-connected and complex world.

Design, as the set of capabilities that enable to envision new possibilities that are more meaningful to people
  • Products
  • Services
  • Communication
  • Space
  • Product-Service System Design
Management, as the set of capabilities to transform the idea of a new ecosystem into:
  • Source of economic value
  • Source of growth 
  • Envisioning 
  • Implementing new business models

I always wanted to understand how to merge creativity and exploration with feasibility and execution. I really think that the power of innovation lies in the synergic work between these two dimensions. Therefore the Double Degree program seemed to me the best opportunity to strengthen both dimensions.

Silvia Magnanini1st Edition

A double degree: both capabilities. Especially, both “sensitivities” and perspectives.

MANAGEMENT INTAKE

Management Engineering = capability to create value for businesses and to lead the innovation process

DESIGN INTAKE

Design = capability to conceive and visualize business models that create value for people
