a b s t r a c tProductisation relates to the process of analysing a need, defining and combining suitable elements, tangible and/or intangible, into a product-like defined set of deliverables that is standardised, repeatable and comprehendible. This paper clarifies the concept of productisation by surveying the extant literature and reporting the origins, characteristics, benefits and features along with aiming to support future work. The analysed literature is categorised, its content is analysed, and the need for a clear framework is highlighted.The results indicate that productisation has a specific role in addressing the challenges of being able to describe and explain complex, often abstract offerings and producing them, involving activities both to ensure adequate standards and those activities leading to selling the products. A well productised product is easier to buy, sell and market, has stronger features and may enable benefits depending on the product type. Productisation has implications through having a complementary role amongst well established functions and in strengthening the linkage of market needs and engineering-oriented development. The concept requires further development. Potential future research directions are presented.

“…Both private and public forest owners consequently have more freedom to arrange or buy various services related to silvicultural services, forest management services and market-related information. This opens interesting avenues for future research, as the implementation of more flexible and ecologically driven forest management approaches (on the municipal and private level) will be an increasingly multifaceted topic not only in the area of forest economics and management, but also in the analysis of new service business models related to these new markets (see Mattila et al, 2013;Hujala et al, 2013).…”

“…Although forestry is understood as primary production, our review showed that it is actually more about services for people than about planting, thinning and logging trees (Miina and Niskanen, 2004;Niskanen, 2005;Hokajärvi et al, 2009;Riala and Asikainen, 2012;Mattila et al, 2013). Blombäck et al (2003) noted that forestry is becoming a service industry and that this sets requirements also for forest workers.…”

“…The forest-based industry has already acted upon the above-mentioned changes by starting to provide some of these services to private forest owners (Mattila et al, 2013). In many traditional forest industry countries, current services in the forestry markets seem to serve well those private forest owners who are mainly interested in industrial roundwood production (Mattila et al, 2013). However, next-generation urban forest owners might value their forests from various perspectives, such as in light of nature conservation or recreation, and therefore, there will be a need for new types of services portfolios that can fulfill these demands (Hull and Nelson, 2011).…”

Abstract Purpose -The purpose of this paper is to analyze and provide a synthesis of how services are understood, how they are likely to develop and how future development can be studied more closely in the forest-based sector (FBS). Services are likely to have an increasing role in the FBS in the future. Design/methodology/approach -The findings are based on a literature review of FBS outlook studies, strategies and programs and services-related studies in FBS and general services literature. Three case examples of services businesses in FBS companies are presented, and possible foresight approaches related to them are discussed. Foresight methods used in parallel sectors are also discussed. Findings -The study provides the first systematic introduction, classification and review of FBS services to include both industry-and non-industry-related services. The paper also points out the need for foresight studies and suggests various approaches for an analysis of the potential of FBS services in the future bioeconomy.Practical implications -The study shows that the role of services in FBS research has been understood too narrowly. As a result, services research has been rather lacking and the future potential of services in the FBS has not been fully acknowledged. The study argues for and points toward the need to use foresight approaches to update FBS strategies, business models and policies to fully benefit from the future potential of services. Originality/value -The study is a novel introduction, review and discussion of the role of services in the FBS and their future outlook.The authors would like to thank two anonymous reviewers for a number of thoughtful suggestions and comments.
