Glad to see our paper published in IJPE on „Service transitions of product-centric firms: An explorative study of service transition stages and barriers in Germany’s energy market“ with Heiner Lütjen und Carsten Schultz.

Today, Heiner Lütjen from Kiel University, Chair of Technology Management and currently CTM visitor gave a talk on „How energy utilities harness their ecosystem for servitization„. The project builds on our recently published paper on service transitions of German energy utilities.
How will servitization evolve in the future and in what ways will it affect manufacturers and consumers? Prof Andy Neely from the Institute for Manufacturing (IfM) shares his thoughts http://bit.ly/1CuILfo
Recently the second IfM Manufacturing Review issue was launched. Read more about „Making the shift to services“, „New business models for a sustainable future“ and „Innovation by design“ here.
An absolute interesting project to follow. The SPREE Project ist funded by FP7 and will run for three years. A highly experienced group of reseachers, supported by senior experts study the effects of servitization on the environment and resource utilization with the ultimate goal to understand if and to what extent servitization can contribute to absolute decoupling. I am looking forward seeing the results.
Also you might want to have a look at this short video, which the project produced.
Excellent short interview with my current colleague here at IfM, Prof. Andy Neely. Interviewed by the Financial Times he talks about three reasons why firms servitize (strategic, economic, environment), accompanied risks and firm implications (e.g., big data). Watch here.
