Role of Servitization, Digitalization, and Innovation Performance in Manufacturing Enterprises

Abstract

The structure of the manufacturing industry has forced manufacturing companies to understand the importance of digitalization and servitization transformation, in terms of production and R&D. In this study, we examine the relationship between servitization, digitization, and enterprise innovation performance through the lens of dynamic capabilities within enterprises. We also discuss the impact of the transformation servitization strategy on business innovation, and the mechanisms by which it impacts business innovation performance. The study’s findings indicate that servitization significantly contributes to innovation performance, and digitalization acts as a mediating mechanism between the proposed relationships. Thus, this article argues for the integration and growth of servitization and digitization.

Expansion of servitization in the energy sector and its implications

“…In particular, with the development of the Internet of Things (IoT), information can flow continuously in the physical and cyber worlds. With the development of big data processing and analysis techniques, it is possible to quickly respond to future changes (Marjanovic et al, 2019; Naik et al, 2020; Opresnik & Taisch, 2015; Shen et al, 2021).…”

“…In this service process, a high level of data analysis is performed for more accurate diagnosis, and automation and optimization are accompanied to reduce the overall cost. This automation and optimization are expected to gradually transform the energy industry ecosystem into a completely different picture (Shen et al, 2021; Sklyar et al, 2019). For example, suppose the blockchain as a service increases.…”

Mediation Effect of Knowledge Sharing Quality on Employee Creativity

“…Researchers who have investigated employee creativity in the past (for example, Ahmad et al, 2019;Park et al, 2018;Muhammad et al, 2017;Shen et al, 2021a;Subramaniam & Venkatraman, 2001) have frequently employed knowledge and/or intellectual capital as independent variables, with employee creativity as an outcome variable. "While the invention or conception of innovative ideas may be an individual activity, innovation (the invention and implementation of new ideas) is a collective achievement," Van de Ven (1986) asserted.…”

Path of Smart Servitization and Transformation in the Textile Industry: A Case Study of Various Regions in China

“…By combing through the literature section, the conditional variables in this paper are gathered in the dimensions of technological innovation, economic development, resource factors, and open strategy. For the variables of technological innovation, this paper draws on Shen Lei's practice of using R&D expenditure data to reflect technological innovation [61], and here the R&D expenditure data of Chinese provinces are mainly selected. Since economic development variables, with only GDP as a measure of economic development, are too one-sided, drawing on the ideas of Mijiyawa and Cantore [33,40], this paper focuses on the process and results of economic development to determine the quality of economic development and considers economic development efficiency, structural optimization, and development stability from the perspective of the GDP and employment rate of each province in China to consider the economic growth and economic stability.…”
