This research track focuses on how to design and implement profitable service growth strategies and business models. In order to generate and capture more value, companies need to harness the potentials of digitalization, institutionalize service innovation, and have a profound understanding of evolving customer needs.
Servitization is a strategy for increasing financial performance and enhancing customer relationships by transforming from a product-centric to a service-centric business model. Increasingly, having world-class products is no longer enough to combat commoditization and stem rampant erosion of margins in many markets. More than ever, to keep competition at bay and sustain growth, companies must redefine what they do for (and with) customers and seize novel growth opportunities, strategically competing though advanced services and customer solutions.
Current research investigates the interplay between digitalization and servitization, service growth strategies, service pricing, mobility-based services, and business model innovation.
