Lecture notes from the Digital Marketing course at KU Leuven's Master of Business Economics program, covering all class material (WENT TO EVERY CLASS). I got a 20/20 on the exam studying this summary (based on the slides of 2025/2026 + own lecture notes). Does not include the literature as it changes every year. I didn't really studies the literature just read it once and that was more than sufficient.

,Digital in marketing (S.E.2.0)
Revolution in life/business (digital marketing is linked to revolutions)
- First Industrial Revolution:
o People started using water and steam power to mechanize production
- Second Industrial Revolution:
o Employees started using electric power to create mass customization
- Third Industrial Revolution:
o People started using electronics and information technology to automate production
o Introduction of technology -> www -> E-commerce
- Currently, we are undergoing a Fourth Industrial Revolution – a technology revolution:
o building on the Third, that is characterized by a mix of technologies that is altering
the way employees and customers relate to one another and the way products and
services are designed, produced, consumed and experienced




4 business models in service encounter 2.0
- Asset builders deliver value through the use of physical goods (physical capital):
o These companies make, market, distribute, sell and lease physical things
o Example: window
- Service providers deliver value through skilled people (human capital):
o These companies hire and develop workers who provide services to customers for
which they charge
o Example: giving advise
- Introduction of technology
- Technology creators deliver value through ideas (intellectual capital):
o These companies develop and sell intellectual property, such as software, analytics,
pharmaceuticals and biotechnology
o Then after we can go to a next stage
o Example: window with sensors -> smart products
- Network orchestrators deliver value through relationships (network capital):
o These companies create a platform that participants use to interact or transact with
the many other members of the network
o They may sell products, build relationships, share advice, give reviews, collaborate
and more
o Example: window with sensors that can also be connected to my phone, to the police
station

, A service system: a blend of business models
- Examples: smart bra, smart toilet, smart windows, smart glasses, smart fridge
- Asset builders (physical capital) x Service providers (human capital) x Technology creators
(intellectual capital) x Network orchestrators (network capital)
- As a result:
o The service encounter – referred to as “the moment of truth – and defined as “the
dyadic interaction between a customer and a service providers not true anymore
during the Fourth Industrial Revolution

Service encounter (original - version 1.0)




A new version: service encounter 2.0
- Is connected with technology so makes everything more complex
- In the spirit of the Fourth Industrial Revolution, the service encounter 2.0 encompasses the
customers-employees-technologies interrelationships and includes all interactions in a
service system that is comprised of:
o Multiple customers,
o Different types of employees, and
o Technologies that may:
▪ Substitute for employees,
▪ Augment the customer-employee interaction or
▪ Take a network facilitating role in connecting all actors anytime and
anywhere
- With the goal to create an optimized space that emerges from a blend of (disrupted) business
models that generate value through a fusion of physical (asset builder), human (service
provider), intellectual (technology creator), and network (network orchestrator) capital

Quotes
- “It’s is not the strongest of the species that survive, nor the most intelligent, but the one
most responsive to change” (C. Darwin)
- “The measure of intelligence is the ability to change”(Albert Einstein)
