Social Sustainability in Product- and Service Development, 7,5 Credits
Do you want to learn more about social sustainability and develop the necessary skills to work with social sustainability related questions in a technological environment? Product and service development plays a key role in society’s transition to sustainability and the social dimension of sustainability is often forgotten. By product and service development we mean development of any type of offering, including physical products, digital products, services, and any mixture of these. Improved knowledge and skills in how to integrate social sustainability goals in product and service development makes more optimised, whole-systems solutions possible. By the end of this course you will be able to analyze social sustainability impacts of products and services from a strategic perspective and identify strategic solutions to them.
