“…To develop an operationalization of the different views presented in previous literature, we initially considered six dimensions of the service offering: 1) maintenance services (Boyt & Harvey, 1997;Gebauer, Edvardsson, and Bjurko (2010) ;Gebauer, Edvardsson, Gustafsson, et al, 2010;Gebauer, Fischer, et al, 2010;Homburg et al, 2003;Morris & Davis, 1992;Oliva & Kallenberg, 2003;Samli et al, 1992), 2) R&D services (Gebauer, Edvardsson, & Bjurko, 2010;Gebauer, Edvardsson, Gustafsson, et al, 2010;Gebauer, Fischer, et al, 2010;Homburg et al, 2003;Oliva & Kallenberg, 2003), 3) customer services (Homburg et al, 2003;Morris & Davis, 1992;Oliva & Kallenberg, 2003;Samli et al, 1992), 4) finance and insurance services (Homburg et al, 2003;Samli et al, 1992), 5) performance services (Gebauer, Edvardsson, & Bjurko, 2010;Gebauer, Edvardsson, Gustafsson, et al, 2010;Gebauer, Fischer, et al, 2010;Oliva & Kallenberg, 2003), and 6) procurement services (Homburg et al, 2003). Subsequently, we identified 33 services within those dimensions.…”

“…The first classification considers the product and process relatedness of services: a) product-related services (e.g., installation), b) process-related services (e.g., the operation of customer processes) and c) service products per se (e.g., finance options) (Cunningham & Roberts, 1974;Mathieu, 2001;Oliva & Kallenberg, 2003). Another classification centers on the product life cycle (time dimension): 1) pre-transactional (e.g., R&D), 2) transactional (e.g., customer seminars) and 3) post-transaction services (e.g., maintenance) (LaLonde & Zinszer, 1976;Morris & Davis, 1992;Samli, Jacobs, & Wills, 1992). Some combinations of these dimensions appear to create an embedded base for most of the existing service classifications.…”
