text: Digital Servitization is one of the significant trends affecting the manufacturing
industry. Companies try to tackle challenges regarding their differentiation and
profitability using digital services. One specific type of digital services are
smart services, which are digital services built on data from smart products.
Introducing these kinds of offerings into the portfolio of manufacturing companies
is not trivial. Moreover, they require conscious action to align all relevant
capabilities to realize the respective business goals. However, what capabilities
are generally relevant for smart services remains opaque. We conducted a systematic
literature review to identify them and extended the results through an interview
study. Our analysis results in 78 capabilities clustered among 12 principles and
six dimensions. These results provide significant support for the smart service
transformation of manufacturing companies and for structuring the research field
of smart services.

text: Manufacturers increasingly integrate information and communication technologies
into their products so that they can provide IT-based services. Organizations
that formerly concentrated on transactional sales thus confront a new challenge
associated with managing service usage—retention and extracting value from investments
in smart technology. This study combines a marketing and an information systems
perspective in a field study conducted jointly with a large European car manufacturer.
Understanding the renewal decision for IT-based service contracts requires knowledge
from both disciplines. The paper shows that combining behavioral predictor variables
stemming from marketing research and technology-related perceptual variables stemming
from technology acceptance research increases the explanatory power and prediction
accuracy of forecasting models for customer renewal decisions. Specifically, the
authors show that perceptions of usefulness become more important the longer customers
use IT-based services and the more services they use within the service contract.

text: "Purpose\r\n– The purpose of this paper is to craft a future research agenda
to advance smart service research and practice. Smart services are delivered to
or via intelligent objects that feature awareness and connectivity. For service
researchers and managers, one of the most fascinating aspects of smart service
provision is that the connected object is able to sense its own condition and
its surroundings and thus allows for real-time data collection, continuous communication
and interactive feedback. \r\n\r\nDesign/methodology/approach\r\n– This article
is based on discussions in the workshop on “Fresh perspectives on technology in
service” at the International Network of Service Researchers on September 26,
2014 at CTF, Karlstad, Sweden. The paper summarizes the discussion on smart services,
adds an extensive literature review, provides examples from business practice
and develops a structured approach to new research avenues. \r\n\r\nFindings\r\n–
We propose that smart services vary on their individual level of autonomous decision-making,
visibility and embeddedness in objects and customer lives. Based on a discussion
of these characteristics, we identify research avenues regarding the perception
and nature of smart services, the adoption of smart services, the innovation through
smart services as well as regarding the development of new business models. \r\n\r\nOriginality/value\r\n–
Smart services is a new emerging topic in service marketing research, their implications
on organizations, customers and the service landscape have not been fully explored.
We provide a fresh perspective on service research by characterizing relevant
aspects of smart service that will stimulate fruitful future research and advance
the understanding and practice of smart services."
