How to use service design to achieve a win-win situation for merchants, consumers and the environment?

Abstract

In this project, I explore ways to achieve a balance between the benefits of supermarket, consumers and the environment through the research questions guiding this investigation:
How to use service design to achieve a win-win situation for merchants, consumers and the environment?

Sub-questions

  • How to improve the competitiveness of supermarkets?
  • How to improve user experience through service design?
  • How to raise people’ s awareness of making the most use of what they buy through an app?
  • In Phase 1, I identified the challenges faced by supermarkets, customers, the environment and the links between them through observation. Then I started to design the prototype and modified it according to the analysis with Design Innovation Model and the questionnaire result.
