Harvard Business Review Blog post by Robert Fabricant, Vice President of Creative for Frog:

In business today, "user experience" (or UX) has come to represent all of the qualities of a product or service that make it relevant or meaningful to an end-user - everything from its look and feel to how it responds when users interact with it, to the way it fits into people's daily lives. You even hear people talking about UX as the way in which a consumer connects to a business - all the touch-points from marketing to product development to distribution channels.

We have, for the project work, assigned new articles that fit the assignment well and they will also be used for the take-home exam. The book "Cost-Justifying Usability" which we previously had thought of as the primary literature is electronically available through the university library and can be used for reference during the take-home exam, but it is not mandatory reading.

It seems that the course book "Cost-Justifying Usability" is out of print. We need to figure out a solution to this and will get back to you as soon as possible when we know how to handle this problem.

Karin Ackerholm, Business Developer at InnovationskontorEtt, and previously design strategist and business developer at inUse, will give a lecture on Effect Mapping and Business Development.

Designing for usability is about focusing a service or product development on the future customer experience. So what is the ROI of that? Take a look at this blog.

The course info is now up.

Updating of the course information for 2013 is in progress and will be published as soon as possible. Some minor changes are being planned, come back and check for them. The course schedule will be published in TimeEdit as usual. Course leader this year will be Jenny Johansson, who can be reached at jenny.k.johansson at liu.se.
