    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
