Inhoud

The Business Ecosystem Design (BED) module (10 EC) is the final module of the SIM specialisation, and builds upon the knowledge and skills of previous modules which paid attention to technology, modelling, innovation, and legal and economic aspects of the energy transition. In this module, business concepts are developed in such a way that several stakeholders collaborate to produce and exploit products and services. Such collaborations are also known as business ecosystems. When developing a business ecosystem a stakeholder analysis is necessary. In this module, an integrative business plan is developed, based on academic research and reflection: It includes adjacent factors in the proposed case, i.e. paying attention to the different PESTEL factors (PESTEL: Policy, Economy, Social, Technology, Ecology, Legal). E.g., it may include non-financial benefits or costs into the case. It is important that every stakeholder’s business is profitable.
