Fundamentals of Subscription Economy (2 ECTS)

In this course you will get familiar with Subscription economy and Software as a Service delivery model.

The subscription economy changes how we sell and buy services. Subscription economy is transforming businesses from one-time purchases towards monthly payments and continuous value creation. We are not buying any more albums. Instead, we pay a monthly subscription to services like Spotify or Apple Music. The same goes with movies (Netflix, Viaplay, AppleTV+, HBO, etc.).

This course is part of Laurea UAS’ study offering.
