Understanding IT-management and IT-consulting teaching as product-service system: application of an engineering model

Abstract

In this research-in-progress paper we conceptualize the teaching of IT-Management and IT-Consulting as a hybrid package of products (resources) and services (teaching). This understanding offers a new perspective on teaching approaches and creates new opportunities for all stakeholders. Following a wellestablished procedure model for product-service systems (PSS) engineering, we derive the customer requirements to the hybrid package. Than a product model is developed. Based on these findings, an Education Integration Platform Solution (EIPS) is prototypically designed. Finally, a conclusion and outlook are given.
