BAC.EAINA.STBUS.4020 Sustainable Business Model and Value (3 US Credits / 6 ECTS credits) Though we are currently living through the age of knowledge economy, in which immaterial resources are unanimously acknowledged as strategic, most companies rely still on business models that favor material resources. Most businesses rely on volume-based and productivity optimization strategies, aiming at maximizing marginal profitability : this results in a short-term approach of business valuation and increases the pressure on resources, being natural or human. As environmental and social considerations become a reality of our society,

and markets reach saturation, these business models are doomed to reach a dead-end: planned obsolescence is a resulting strategy adopted by some companies, that creates a non-sense for customers and resources but allows to sustain an un-saturated market. In addition, volume-based business models encourage small incremental innovations, as opposed to disruptive innovations that could radically impact positively our society. This course will present students with alternative business models that will become tomorrow’s standards, from industrial ecology to result-based value proposition, including, but not limited to, circular economy and usage-based models, and open to potential upcoming innovations in business models.
