MiAdidas and mass customization started by Niklas

Description

Posted by Niklas in category: Initial Ideas
The case study miadidas compiles infromation about mass customization and future trends in online trading.
Students and teachers collect information and ideas about mass customization and prerequisites of supply chain management in this idea space.


Many companies are exploring mass customization as a way to demonstrate market leadership and capture price premiums. 
 
The core idea of mass customization is to turn customers' heterogeneous needs into an opportunity to create value, rather than a problem to be minimized, challenging the "one size fits all" assumption of traditional mass production.The concept of mass customization makes business sense in these times. Why wouldn't people want to be treated as individual customers, with products tailored to their specific needs? But mass customization has been trickier to implement than first anticipated. The key to profiting from mass customization is to see it not as a stand-alone business strategy that is replacing today's production and distribution systems, but as a set of organizational capabilities that can supplement and enrich an existing system.

                  Didactical Concept

                  Posted by Niklas in category: Outline
                  Please describe the key aspects of the didactical / instructional design
                  The case method is a profound educational innovation that presents the greatest challenges confronting leading companies,non-profits, and government organizations - complete with the constraints and incomplete information found in real business issues - and places the student in the role of the decision maker. There are no simple solutions; yet through the dynamic process of exchanging perspectives, countering and defending points, and building on each other's ideas, students become adept at analyzing issues, exercising judgment, and making difficult decisions

                      Introduction:
                          Mass Customization means to offer products or services which meet the demands of each individual customer, but which still can be produced and delivered with mass production efficiency. 
                          Or, as B. Joseph Pine, who made mass customization popular with his 1993 book,: “Today I define Mass Customization as the low-cost, high-volume, efficient production of individually customized offerings”.
