The course Business Design nell’era Digitale (held in Italian) is aimed at students who want to develop digital competences transversal to industrial sectors and departments of organizations.
Basing on the typical notions of the Degree in Management Engineering at LIUC (relating to production and logistics processes in the manufacturing sector), the course contributes to developing:
- and knowledge of the characteristics and dynamics of innovation in the service sector
- and the skills for the creation and design of services to complement physical products in companies in the manufacturing sector.
The course is divided into three compulsory courses and a “laboratory” (also open to those who choose one of the other courses of the bachelor’s degree).
Services are an intangible component of any business activity. In this course, students will address them from the design perspective to performance measurement and cost-effectiveness evaluation.
The course is dedicated to studying the models and tools that enable an industrial engineer to operate effectively in service sector firms, as well as to deal with companies’ digital transformation.
The objective is to train specialist graduates with advanced skills in the management and analysis of digital processes and digital transformation.

Teaching
Given the close connection with topics that are constantly evolving (e.g. Internet of Things, Big Data, …) and strongly based on the use of digital technologies, theoretical aspects are presented from the discussion of actual cases. More than half of the teaching is carried out in the workshop, where students, organised in teams, build physical prototypes of Internet of Things (IoT) systems for process control; employ the main modules of SAP, one of the most popular software in business process management; and use appropriate tools to develop models for the analysis of large masses of data (Big Data). The course consists of three modules:
- Analysis and measurement in the digital enterprise
- Digital enterprise management
- IoT systems design and development
Employment outlets
The main employment outlets are manufacturing firms in all industries and advanced service firms, including consulting, where graduates are not just able to work in the area of Information Technology but also to support management in decision-making processes.
