Abstract
Today's leading enterprises operate in a global
multi-actor environment, cooperating with suppliers,
partners and other stakeholders in order to deliver
services and/or products. It is a question of value
creation in a global economy, of how to create value in
buyer-seller relationships within global product-service
networks. The traditional supply chain can be used for
product deliveries, but locally delivered services
require a network of collaboration partners. The unique
characteristics of service include a high level of
customer contact and influence, simultaneity of
production and consumption, intangibility,
non-storability, perishability, and labour intensity.
This paper discusses the challenges when moving from a
linear product supply chain to a product-service supply
network. The aim of this paper is to increase the
understanding of how companies manage their customer
value creation within integrated product-service supply
networks. When analysing the benefits of product-service
offerings, we focus on two categories: tangible and
intangible determinants
