“…Several attempts have been made to classify the different roles of ICT in integrating products and services. For example, Lelah and Brissaud [63] proposed the following five different configurations between ICT and PSS: product pre-equipped with ICT, distinct ICT and product, ICT monitoring product, mutualized ICT infrastructure, and ICT support network. Geum et al [64] identified the three types of roles for technology as an enabler, a mediator, and a facilitator for integrating products and services.…”

As the product-service system (PSS) is considered a promising business model that can create more value for customers, PSS research has enjoyed remarkable growth in its volume and coverage over the last decade. This study aims to delineate the thematic landscape of PSS research by identifying latent topics from a large amount of scholarly data. Ten topics of PSS research are identified by applying the Latent Dirichlet Allocation (LDA) model to 1229 PSS publications published between 2000 and 2016. The ten PSS topics are briefly reviewed to provide an overview of what has previously been studied in PSS research. We also investigate which topics rise or fall in popularity by identifying hot and cold topics of PSS research. It is observed that the focus of discussions on the benefits of PSS has shifted from sustainability to value creation. Also, increasing attention has been paid to more practical topics such as PSS implementation. The areas of subspecialty of the top ten PSS journals are also examined to explore the interdisciplinary nature of PSS research and thematic differences across disciplines. The findings of this study can provide rich implications for both academia and practice in the field of PSS.
