Servitization generates implications for the manufacturers' value creation, delivery and capture processes and also for their customers and business partners. As individual studies have started to investigate the different value processes in servitization and the effects they have on the manufacturers' wider context, it becomes important to consolidate prior research and develop an integrative understanding of value in servitization. The present study is based on a systematic review of the servitization literature, expanding the research scope from a dyadic to a triadic, network and system level of analysis. The study creates a value architecture framework which establishes a comprehensive understanding of value in servitization, with implications for future servitization theory building and strategy development.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
