Publisher Synopsis
'This book presents a parsimonious integration of the vast research done on service business development over the last two decades. The authors provide solid advice for service development not only based on the existing research, but also based on years of detailed empirical work. The resulting framework covers from internal capabilities, to the industry partners that different business models require to succeed, and addresses the concerns and challenges of SMEs as well as international networks of service providers.' Rogelio Oliva, Texas A&M University Advance praise: 'A unique thought provoking insight on how to develop the service business. It is a must read!' Bo Edvardsson, Karlstad University, Sweden Advance praise: 'Based on sound empirical research, this timely and high quality book documents the why, what and how of service business development for companies in the increasingly commoditized capital goods industry.' Stephen W. Brown, Arizona State University Advance praise: 'This book brings together over a decade's worth of work on how manufacturing firms can create value through services. Packed with detailed insights ranging from the strategic to the operational, this book will be an invaluable reference source for researchers and managers alike.'
