--- res: bibo_abstract: - Digitalization and sustainability are major challenges for today's manufacturing industry. While digitalization is characterized by the incorporation of digital technologies in the products and services as well as the value creation architectures, sustainability requires them to balance economic, environmental and social issues. In both areas, especially Product Service Systems (PSS) are constantly gaining importance. This results in so called smart PSS that integrate digital technologies as well as sustainable PSS which aim at a positive impact on sustainability. Both two concepts cannot be clearly delimited since smart PSS might be designed for sustainability as well and sustainable PSS might be used with digital technologies. This paper aims to investigate the interrelations. To that, digitalization patterns of products and services are evaluated regarding their sustainable impact. The evaluation is conducted by a survey in research and industry. Furthermore, the design of the underlying value creation architecture is investigated. Here, a methodology is proposed enabling companies to optimize their value creation architecture.@eng bibo_authorlist: - foaf_Person: foaf_givenName: Michel foaf_name: Scholtysik, Michel foaf_surname: Scholtysik foaf_workInfoHomepage: http://www.librecat.org/personId=50562 - foaf_Person: foaf_givenName: Jannik foaf_name: Reinhold, Jannik foaf_surname: Reinhold foaf_workInfoHomepage: http://www.librecat.org/personId=33669 - foaf_Person: foaf_givenName: Christian foaf_name: Koldewey, Christian foaf_surname: Koldewey foaf_workInfoHomepage: http://www.librecat.org/personId=43136 orcid: https://orcid.org/0000-0001-7992-6399 - foaf_Person: foaf_givenName: Roman foaf_name: Dumitrescu, Roman foaf_surname: Dumitrescu foaf_workInfoHomepage: http://www.librecat.org/personId=16190 bibo_doi: 10.1017/pds.2021.548 bibo_volume: 1 dct_date: 2021^xs_gYear dct_isPartOf: - http://id.crossref.org/issn/2732-527X dct_language: eng dct_subject: - sustainability dct_title: 'SUSTAINABILITY THROUGH THE DIGITALIZATION: EXPLORING POTENTIALS AND DESIGNING VALUE CO-CREATION ARCHITECTURES FOR PRODUCT-SERVICE-SYSTEMS@' ...
