    Abstract

    The paper aims to clarify the value creation dynamics of mobile business services by exploring the linkage between customer productivity (i.e. productivity of an organisation using a service) and usability of a mobile business service. The analysis made in this paper is conceptual. It is based on existing literature concerning the concepts of usability and service productivity and on frameworks that can be used to evaluate the performance of mobile business services and ICT services more generally. The analysis also exploits earlier case studies of mobile business services. The main contribution of the paper is in the analysis that combines the concepts customer productivity and usability and creates better understanding of the interrelationships between them in the context of mobile business services. A conceptual framework: "Mobile Business Service Success Model" is presented as a conclusion.
