The studies are completed in study groups that establish the customer value assumption according to the customer’s needs or wishes. Alternatively, they may base their work on proactive information on development trends or new revenue generation models. The customer value is tested with potential customers and improved on the basis of the feedback received.

The course lasts one semester. Its completion is supported by means of material produced in the virtual learning environment. The course consists of eight meetings with independent and group work between them.
