Exploring Changing Customer Relationships in Digital Servitsation : A study of Traditional Banks' Adaptations to Digitalised Touchpoints and Changing Customer InteractionsNilsson, Axelia, Jacobs Brüllhoff, Andrea January 2024 (has links)
Background: Traditional banks in Sweden are undergoing major transformations from interacting mainly through physical touchpoints with a product-centric approach to an expanded range of digitalised touchpoints and a more customer-centric approach. This transformation exemplifies what in research is referred to as digital servitisation. Purpose: To explore perceived implications in the banks’ relationship to customers when they digitalise customer touchpoints. Furthermore, to understand how different roles involved in customer relationship management and customer touchpoints - strategic, analytical and operational perspectives - perceive the work needed to interact with customers through different touchpoints. Method: Through a qualitative, interpretative, multiple case study two traditional Swedish banks are explored in their work with their relationships with their customers and digitalised touchpoints. The empirical data is gathered through 15 semi-structured interviews with respondents working analytically, operationally and strategically to gain as representative an understanding of the general perception among employees as possible. Findings: Using a thematic analysis, the thesis presents six themes; (1) Customers in charge of interactions, (2) Becoming more complex, (3) Relationships are more interchangeable, (4) Rethinking relationship components, (5) Connecting the dots and (6) Integrating the old with the new. The themes are clustered as Changes (1-3) and Adaptations (4-6). Conclusions: The thesis concludes that the relationship between banks and their customers has and continues to change in the transformation of digital servitisation. The demands and behaviours of the customer are perceived to change, simultaneously they gain more power over the relationship and the banks become more interchangeable. Thus, the banks must change along with the relationship to adhere to the customers’ demands, in order to stay relevant and keep their competitive advantage. At the time being, there are several ways that the banks believe that this can be done, but continue to express that they are still exploring to find the right approach and how to execute it.

Análise, design e inovação de modelos de negócios para servitização / Analysis, design and innovation of business models for servitization.Costa, Renato Machado 13 June 2017 (has links)
Empresas de manufatura tradicionalmente concentram os seus esforços em concepção, desenvolvimento, fabricação e comercialização de produtos físicos. No entanto, alguns fabricantes têm alterado suas estratégias de negócio, complementando a venda de produtos com o fornecimento de serviços, incorporando conhecimentos e atividades associados ao seu uso, e gerando maior percepção de valor por parte dos seus clientes. Com isso, a competição estratégica por meio de serviços tem se tornado uma marca distintiva das empresas de manufatura inovadoras, proporcionando à empresa um meio robusto para proteger o seu mercado dos concorrentes. Assim, observa-se um interesse crescente em pesquisas sobre o papel dos serviços para sustentar a competitividade da indústria. Abordagens orientadas a serviço, que incorporam esta mudança de foco do negócio, da oferta de produtos isolados para soluções integradas, têm sido tratadas na comunidade acadêmica como servitização, e tipicamente acarretam inovações no modelo de negócios (MN) da empresa. O objetivo deste trabalho é investigar como as empresas podem promover inovações em seus MNs para suportar suas estratégias de servitização, e propor um conjunto de artefatos para apoiá-las na implantação destas estratégias, a partir do seguinte problema de pesquisa: \"Como inovar o MN de uma empresa que adota a estratégia de servitização?\", que se desdobra nas seguintes questões: (i) quais são os principais fatores motivadores para uma empresa adotar a estratégia de servitização?; (ii) como representar o MN de uma empresa incorporando a lógica dominante de serviço, mais adequada para servitização?; (iii) como inovar o MN de uma empresa para implantar sua estratégia de servitização?; e (iv) como aplicar os artefatos propostos para apoiar a implantação da estratégia de servitização em uma empresa? Realiza-se uma pesquisa de natureza exploratória e prescritiva, baseada no método design scienceresearche amparada por uma revisão sistemática da literatura sobre os temas correlatos, visando propor artefatos em resposta às questões colocadas. A demonstração de um dos artefatos propostos é feita com suporte de um estudo de caso em uma empresa multinacional, fabricante de equipamentos médicos, seguida por uma avaliação empírica desta demonstração, suportada pelo método thinkingaloud. A partir das quatro questões de pesquisa, são obtidos os seguintes resultados: (i) identificação, análise e categorização dos principais fatores motivadores para adoção da servitização; (ii) proposição de uma arquitetura de MN incorporando a lógica dominante de serviço, para facilitar o estudo da servitização; (iii) proposição de um processo de inovação do MN da empresa, para implantar a servitização. e (iv) demonstração e avaliação da arquitetura proposta de MN para servitização. A pesquisa oferece contribuições à literatura de MN e servitização, e aos gestores de empresas, propondo os artefatos canvas do modelo de negócios para servitização (CMNS) e o processo IPIDI para inovação do MN para servitização, além de contribuições metodológicas relativas a design scienceresearch e thinking aloud. / Manufacturing companies traditionally are focused on designing, developing, manufacturing and marketing physical products. However, some manufacturers are changing their business strategies, complementing the sale of products by providing services, adding knowledge and activities associated with their use, and creating a higher perception of value by their customers.Strategic competition through service delivery has become a hallmark of the innovative manufacturing companies, providing the companies with a robust means to protect their market from competitors. Thus, there is a growing interest in researching the role of services in sustaining the competitiveness of manufacturing industry.Service-oriented approaches, which incorporate this shift in business\' focus from offering isolated products, to proposing integrated solutions, have been addressed in the literature as servitization, and typically entail innovations in the company\'s business model (BM). The goal of this research is investigating how companies can promote transformations in their BMs to support their servitization strategies, and proposing a set of artifacts to support them in the implementation of these strategies, since the following research problem: \"How to innovate the BM of a company which adopts the servitization strategy? \", which unfolds in the following questions: (i) what are the main motivating factors for a company to adopt the servitization strategy?; (ii) how to represent the BM of a company incorporating the service-dominant logic, more suitable for servitization?; (iii) how to innovate a company\'s BM to implement its servitization strategy ?; and (iv) how to apply the proposed artifacts to support the implementation of the servitization strategy in a company? An exploratory and prescriptive research is carried out, based on the design science research methodology, and supported by a systematic literature review on the related subjects, aiming at proposing artifacts in response to the questions posed. The demonstration of the proposed artifacts is done by means of a case study in a multinational company, which manufactures medical devices, followed by an assessment of this demonstration, supported by the thinking aloud method. From the four research questions, the following results are obtained: (i) identification, analysis and categorization of the main motivating factors for servitization adoption; (ii) proposing a BM architecture according to the service-dominant logic, to help the servitization study; (iii) proposing an innovation process for the company\'s BM, to implement the servitization; and (iv) demonstration and assessment of the proposed BM architecture for servitization. The research offers contributions to the literature of BM and servitization, and to practitioners, proposing the artifacts business model canvas for servitization (BMCS) and the IPIDI process for innovation of BM for servitization, besides some methodological contributions related to design science research and thinking aloud.

Value Co-Creation & Proposition in Service Business Models & Eco-Systems – Interactions, Perspectives, Roles : 20 Manager Interviews in SMEs & MNCs 3 Case Studies from IBM (Leadership, Strategy, Technology, Services)Tošić, Damjan, Bhatty, Usman Tariq January 2014 (has links)
The academic and business understanding of how Business Models through Service Logic co-creates, proposes, and captures value in extensive and complex Networked Systems is at its first daylight, specifically in the context of Service Systems with their Ecologies. With the complexity emerging in the Service Economies along with the advances in Information and Communication Technology such as the Cloud and Big Data, to describe and define the business operations, units, and value propositions consequently is done by business modeling and innovation of the company to acquire a current or new capitalization strategy, control and execution. Open Business Models such as the Business Model Canvas are easily integrated in existing or new Enterprises and Service Systems, and aim to facilitate the development of private as well as public entities in adapting, accessing, and integrating operant and operand resources by the ever-so-more used Service Logic. A Service Business Model has the academia and business recognized Service-Dominant Logic (S-D Logic) as a foundation for sensemaking in complex Networked Systems and Service Economies. The authors have conducted 20 face-to-face interviews with private and public company managers at all levels, review of literature in the Business Model and Service Logic fields, and also reviewed case studies from IBM on Business Models and its Leadership, Strategy and Technology (and Services) – which is a natural extension of our Interdisciplinary and Systems Sciences studies with S-D Logic at Karlstad Business School and Karlstad University for the past four years. The author’s research, interviews and IBM’s case studies show a need for further conceptualization and sensemaking of the Value Co-Creations and Propositions in Service Eco-System settings – and also decision-making assistance for managers designing, innovating and using Service Business Models to create sustainable Ecologies. Moreover, a Leadership perspective with a systems level strategy in Service Eco-Systems through externally-faced Value Propositions with the ability to create opportunities needs to be developed through a systems thinking. Furthermore, the quality of interaction, shared information, and influence in Dyad Perspective to facilitate Triad Relationships captures value – which is facilitated by the new Service Canvas Business Model. We argue for a multiple perspective in Service Business Models to cater both partner and customer perspective with internally- and externally-faced Value Propositions to Co-Create or Capture Value – we see that this requires an objective (objectification) foundation for consensus; the 4C model. We contend that Service Eco-Systems cannot scale or sustain without the proper use of Technology specifically Communication but also Information, which determine most of the quality in modern and digital service interactions and perspectives. Our interviews, reviews, and cumulative research in Service Business Models and Eco-Systems with IBM case studies are all strong foundations for current and future research but also for business practice today.

以資源基礎架構分析中小企業科技化合作模式 / A resource-based framework for analyzing IT-enabled collaboration in small and medium enterprises傅暄涵, Fu, Hsuan Han Unknown Date (has links)
中小企業一向是經濟成長的主力,然而受限其資源的短缺,往往無法提供顧客更好的商品或服務。雖然文獻指出中小企業可以透過資訊科技與夥伴和顧客合作來克服它先天的弱勢並提供更好的服務,但仍有許多模糊未解的問題。例如,哪一種中小企業較願意導入以資訊科技為基礎的協同合作模式(IT-enabled Collaboration)?而這樣的合作模式是否能真正的提升他們的績效表現呢?本研究以資源基礎理論和服務導向邏輯理論(service-dominant logic)為基礎,將資源分為operant資源、operand資源、資源互補性及資源相似性,試圖找出在何種資源模式下,中小企業會偏向使用以資訊科技為基礎的協同合作模式。研究方法採用個案研究,並以宜蘭縣枕頭山休閒農業區的八家中小型業者為目標進行訪談。在資料蒐集和分析之後,本研究發現operand資源與operant資源皆會正向的影響到中小企業對科技化合作的參與,其中又以operant資源的影響為更大。此外,從研究中也驗證了科技化合作能促成中小企業績效的提升。根據研究結果,本研究將operant資源視為影響中小企業導入科技化合作模式進而達成績效提升的主要關鍵資源。 / Small and medium sized enterprises (SMEs) are the main force to economic growth, but they usually restricted by resource shortage when they want to upgrade goods or services. Past literature has indicated collaboration with partners and customers through information technology (IT) may overcome their weakness and serve better. However, there still are blurs, like what kind of SMEs are more likely to engage IT-enabled collaboration? Will IT-enabled collaboration really enhance SMEs performance? Our research framework based on resource-based view and service-dominant logic categorizing SME resources into (1) operand resources, (2) operant resources, (3) resource complementarity and (4) resource similarity. We attempt to find out what key resources in SMEs are related to the usage of IT-enabled collaboration and the contributions to SME performance. We conduct case study with 8 SMEs in Mt. Pillow Leisure Agriculture Area. After data collection and analysis, we figure out that both operand and operant resources have positive impact on IT-enabled collaboration; furthermore, operant resources contribute more for SMEs to communicate and coordinate with each other and customers. In addition, from our research, we demonstrate that IT-enabled collaboration helps SMEs to perform better. Therefore, we suggest operant resources as important resources for SMEs engaging in IT-enabled collaboration and consequently enhancing their performance.

Previous issue date: 2014-04-28 / Por que a maior empresa de cosmético do mundo não entra no canal de vendas da maior empresa de cosméticos do Brasil? O trabalho a seguir tem o objetivo de analisar a L’Oréal Brasil e entender os motivos de ela não atuar no canal de vendas door-to-door, principal canal de vendas da Natura, a maior empresa de cosméticos do Brasil. Com base no método do Estudo do Caso, foram feitas 23 entrevistas tendo como amostra o corpo executivo da L’Oréal Brasil, bem como seu CEO. O estudo abrangeu diversas áreas da organização: marketing, suprimentos, fabricação, recursos humanos, vendas e logística. Com base na teoria da Lógica Dominante, notou-se que apesar de o canal de vendas door-to-door ser atrativo, existem diversas razões estratégicas/crenças que impedem que a L’Oréal entre no canal, são elas: a desconfiança no futuro do canal, a operação logística e o paradigma histórico da L’Oréal. / Why does the largest cosmetics company in the world does not enter the channel of the largest cosmetic company in Brazil? The main objective of this work is to analyse the L'Oréal Brazil’s case and understand its motivations or reasons not to act in the door-to-door channel today dominate by Natura, the largest cosmetic company in Brazil. The method of case study included 23 interviews, among them the executive body of L'Oréal Brazil and its CEO. Several areas of the organization have been studied: marketing, supply chain, manufacturing, human resources, sales, among others. Based on the theory of Dominant Logic, it was noted that despite being attractive the is door-to-door channel, is not a strategic option for L'Oréal due to by: a lack of confidence about the future of the channel-door to-door, the operational logistics and mismatch paradigm of L'Oréal with the channel.

Värdeskapande inom idrottsevenemang : Hur arbetar arrangörer för att främja ett högt upplevt kundvärde hos sina deltagare?Gyllensvärd, Sofia January 2018 (has links)
I Sverige har vi flera stora idrottsevenemang som var för sig lockar tiotusentals deltagare varje år. Arrangörerna av dessa idrottsevenemang har i uppgift att leva upp till varje deltagares (kunds) förväntningar och tillfredsställa deras behov. Kundvärde är ett centralt begrepp inom både kvalitetsutveckling och marknadsföring och kundvärdeskapande anses vara en viktig framgångsfaktor för alla organisationer. Inte minst i framtiden då konsumenterna allt mer vill vara med och utforma produkterna de köper. Syftet med studien var att uppnå ökad förståelse för kundvärdeskapande inom idrottsevenemang genom att undersöka hur arrangörer arbetar idag och vill arbeta i framtiden för att främja ett högt upplevt kundvärde hos sina deltagare. Empiri samlades in genom fem intervjuer med arrangörer av idrottsevenemang. Analys av datamaterialet visade att arrangörerna som ingick i studien idag använder strategier och aktiviteter inom 12 olika teman med syfte att främja ett högt upplevt kundvärde. Efter analys drogs slutsatsen att arrangörerna idag erbjuder sina deltagare möjlighet till samskapande av kundvärde framförallt genom att tillföra de tre förutsättningarna dialog, riskbedömning och transparens. Inför framtiden identifierades tre områden för fortsatt utveckling och förbättring kring kundvärdeskapande: utökad/differentierad dialog med deltagarna, fler samarbeten och ett tydligt socialt ansvar samt att ge deltagarna mer mandat att vara med och driva utveckling och vara delaktiga i utformningen av evenemangen. / In Sweden we have several major sports events and each of them attracts tens of thousands of participants each year. The organizers of these sporting events have the task of meeting the expectations of each participant (customer) and satisfy their needs. Customer value is a key concept in both Total Quality Management (TQM) and marketing and customer value creation is considered an important success factor for all organizations. Not least in the future when consumers increasingly want to be involved in designing the products they buy. The aim of the study was to achieve increased understanding of customer value creation in sports events by examining how organizers work todayand want to work in the future to promote a high level of customer value for their participants. Data was collected through five interviews with organizers of sports events. Analysis of the data showed that the organizers today use strategies and activities within 12 different themes with the aim of promoting a high level of customer value. A conclusion from the analysis was that organizers today offer their participants the opportunity to co-create customer value by adding the three building blocks dialogue, risk assessment and transparency. For future improvements and continued development in customer value creation three areas were identified: expanded/differentiated dialogue with participants, more collaborations and clear social responsibility and giving participants more mandate to participate in development and participate in the design of the events. / <p>2018-06-27</p>

Previous issue date: 2018-04-06 / Este trabalho trata da servitização e criação de valor em relacionamentos de fornecimento de dispositivos e equipamentos médicos no Brasil. Essa questão é relevante uma vez que a competição no mercado é elevada e a diferenciação pela adição de serviços pode ser uma opção para se manter competitivo. Nesse contexto, o objetivo desse trabalho foi investigar como a servitização em seus diferentes níveis pode impactar a percepção de valor do cliente. Utilizou-se as teorias de criação e cocriação de valor, a lógica dominante de serviço, servitização e seus diferentes níveis, bem como o cuidado baseado em valor de forma a entender a relação entre fornecedor e hospital e como a percepção de valor deste é relevante para a escolha de produtos e serviços. A pesquisa de campo foi de natureza qualitativa. Foi conduzido um estudo de caso na instituição Beneficência Portuguesa de São Paulo. Análise de documentos, observações e entrevistas não estruturadas com gestores da instituição foram utilizadas para a coleta de dados. Os principais resultados obtidos foram: serviços agregados são determinantes como potencial competitivo para as empresas; o balanço adequado entre flexibilidade na customização de sistemas produto-serviço e a padronização para otimizar custos é algo essencial para a competitividade; e quanto maior o nível de servitização e o consequente grau de complexidade na tomada de decisão, maior o grau de confiança necessário entre os atores. Esse estudo apresentou como principais contribuições gerenciais, a revelação de como a servitização e seus níveis podem contribuir para aumentar a percepção de valor de hospitais em relação a seus fornecedores; como os diferentes níveis de sistema produto-serviço podem ser traduzidos para o mercado de saúde; e a caracterização de um nível complexo de servitização que é aderente à ideia de cuidado baseado em valor. / This work is about servitization and value creation in medical devices and equipment supply relationships in Brazil. This issue is relevant since the competitive and complex health care market environment make suppliers search differentiation new ways offering proposals with higher added value. Therefore, this work objective is to investigate how servitization and its different levels can impact the value perception. Value creation and co-creation, servicedominant logic, servitization and its different levels, and value based health care theories were considered to understand the relationship between supplier and hospital and how its value perception is relevant for products and services selection. The field research was qualitative. A case study was conducted in Beneficência Portuguesa de São Paulo institution. Documents analysis, observations and unstructured interviews with institution managers were used to data collection. The main results were: added services are determinants in companies’ competitive potential; the adequate balance between flexibility in product-service systems customization and standardization to optimize costs is essential to competitiveness; and the higher the servitization level and its consequent complexity level, the bigger trust level is necessary between the stakeholders. This study main contributions are the disclosure of how servitization and its levels can contribute to increase hospital’s value perception related to suppliers, how different product-service systems levels can be translated the health care market, and the description of the most complex level of servitization and its adherence to the value-based health care.

Financial market monitoring and surveillance systems framework : a service systems and business intelligence approachDiaz Solis, David Alejandro January 2012 (has links)
The thesis introduces a framework for analysing market monitoring and surveillance systems in order to provide a common foundation for researchers and practitioners to specify, design, implement, compare and evaluate such systems. The proposed framework serves as a reference map for researchers and practitioners to position their work in the context of market monitoring and surveillance, resulting in a useful instrument for the analysis, testing and management of such systems. More specifically, the thesis examines the new requirements for the operation of financial markets, the role of technologies, the recent consultations on the structure and governance of EU and US markets, as well as, future usage scenarios and emerging technologies. It examines the context in which market monitoring and market surveillance systems are currently been used. It reports on their processes, performance, and on the organisational and regulatory environments in which they exist. Furthermore, it develops a set of taxonomies which cover the majority of the concepts of market manipulation, market monitoring, market surveillance, entities, technologies and actors that are relevant for the work in this thesis. Building on the gaps and limitations of the current systems, it proposes a new framework following the Design Science methodology. The usefulness of the framework is evaluated through four critical case studies, which not only help to understand with practical exercises the way how markets monitoring and surveillance systems work, but also to investigate their weaknesses, potential evolution and ways to improve them. For each case study, the thesis develops a fully working prototype tested using a sample prosecution case and evaluated in terms of the appropriateness and suitability of the proposed framework. Finally, implications relating to policies, procedures and future market structures are discussed followed by suggestions for future research.
