Abstract
The editors present essential methods and tools to
support a holistic approach to the challenge of system
upgrades and innovation in the context of high-value
products and services. The approach presented here is
based on three main pillars: an adaptation mechanism
based on a broad understanding of system dependencies;
efficient use of system knowledge through involvement of
actors throughout the process; and technological
solutions to enable efficient actor communication and
information handling.
The book provides readers with a better understanding of
the factors that influence decisions, and put forward
solutions to facilitate the rapid adaptation to changes
in the business environment and customer needs through
intelligent upgrade interventions. Further, it examines a
number of sample cases from various contexts including
car manufacturing, utilities, shipping and the furniture
industry. The book offers a valuable resource for both
academics and practitioners interested in the upgrading
of capital-intensive products and services.
