About the course
This course examines the foundations of business models and how circular strategies shape technology‑intensive industries. It covers current circular business models and key approaches such as reuse, repair, refurbishment, remanufacturing, recycling, and energy recovery. The course highlights how emerging technologies enable sustainable and innovation‑driven models aligned with the triple bottom line. It also addresses system‑level circularity involving collaboration between multiple actors, as well as strategic challenges linked to complex (“wicked”) problems and the fundamentals of patents and intellectual property rights. Teaching consists of interactive lectures, guest lectures, seminars, workshops, project work, and applied in-class learning activities.
