Promising research avenues are outlined to span boundaries that separate different research disciplines today.\r\n\r\nPractical implications\r\nManaging a successful transition from providing smart service toward providing a platform requires making significant investments in IT, platform-related capabilities and skills, as well as implement new approaches toward relationship management and brand-building.\r\n\r\nOriginality/value\r\nThe findings described in this paper are valuable to researchers in multiple disciplines seeking to develop and to justify theory related to platforms in industrial scenarios."}],"language":[{"iso":"eng"}],"publication_identifier":{"issn":["507-532"]},"citation":{"bibtex":"@article{Beverungen_Kundisch_Wünderlich_2021, title={Transforming into a Platform Provider: Strategic Options for Industrial Smart Service Providers}, volume={32}, DOI={<a href=\"https://doi.org/10.1108/JOSM-03-2020-0066\">10.1108/JOSM-03-2020-0066</a>}, number={4}, journal={Journal of Service Management}, publisher={Emerald Insight}, author={Beverungen, Daniel and Kundisch, Dennis and Wünderlich, Nancy}, year={2021}, pages={507–532} }","mla":"Beverungen, Daniel, et al. “Transforming into a Platform Provider: Strategic Options for Industrial Smart Service Providers.” <i>Journal of Service Management</i>, vol. 32, no. 4, Emerald Insight, 2021, pp. 507–32, doi:<a href=\"https://doi.org/10.1108/JOSM-03-2020-0066\">10.1108/JOSM-03-2020-0066</a>.","chicago":"Beverungen, Daniel, Dennis Kundisch, and Nancy Wünderlich. “Transforming into a Platform Provider: Strategic Options for Industrial Smart Service Providers.” <i>Journal of Service Management</i> 32, no. 4 (2021): 507–32. <a href=\"https://doi.org/10.1108/JOSM-03-2020-0066\">https://doi.org/10.1108/JOSM-03-2020-0066</a>.","ieee":"D.
