  • Match or Mismatch : Strategy-Structure Configuration in the Service Business of Manufacturing Companies
  • 2010
  • Ingår i: Journal of Service Research. - : Sage. - 1094-6705 .- 1552-7379. ; 13:2, s. 198-215
  • Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
    • A new trend seems to be emerging for multinational manufacturing companies to make a strategic reorientation into becoming service providers. For some companies, such as Kone and IBM, the revenues from services are 50% or more of their total sales. Despite the increasing interest in exploring various aspects of the service part of the business in manufacturing companies, existing research has not focused on the interdependencies between different service strategies and organizational designs. This article studies different service strategies in manufacturing companies and highlights the organizational design necessary for implementing each service strategy. The service strategies explored are aftersales service providers, customer support service providers, outsourcing partners, and development partners. Each service strategy is supported by organizational design factors related to the service orientation of corporate culture, the service orientation of human resource management, and the service orientation of organizational structures. This research concludes that a specific strategy-structure configuration is needed in order to succeed with a chosen service strategy

  • Internalisation or externalisation? : Examining organisational arrangements for industrial services
  • 2011
  • Ingår i: Managing Service Quality. - Bingley, UK : Emerald Group Publishing Limited. - 0960-4529 .- 1758-8030. ; 21:4, s. 373-391
  • Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
    • Purpose - Manufacturing firms primarily organise service provision internally, externally or through a hybrid arrangement. This paper aims to analyse how firm-, offering-, and market-specific factors influence the way in which a firm organises its service provision. In addition, the paper analyses the specific challenges that each organisational arrangement presents for a firm. Design/methodology/approach - The study employed a qualitative, multiple-case research design that involved seven manufacturing firms with different organisational arrangements for service provision. Findings - Contrary to certain explicit assumptions, few firms organise for service provision solely through an in-house organisation. Analysis of firms in a wide variety of industries has shown that the organisational arrangements (internal, external or hybrid configuration) are contingent on factors such as market strategy, customer relationships, product-service linkages, internal competences and market channel characteristics. Research limitations/implications - The paper is an initial attempt to understand the strategic choices that firms make in terms of inter-organisational arrangements for service provision. The research should be extended by way of a cross-sectional survey in order to test and further validate the importance of the determinants of the organisational arrangements for service provision. Originality/value - The paper contributes to the service marketing and management literature by examining factors that determine whether firms organise for service provision internally, externally or through a hybrid configuration. Prior research has not explicitly addressed this issue.

  • Theory of Attractive Quality and Life Cycles of Quality Attributes
  • 2011
  • Ingår i: The TQM Journal. - Bingley, UK : Emerald Group Publishing Limited. - 1754-2731 .- 1754-274X. ; 23:2, s. 235-246
  • Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
    • Purpose – The purpose of this study is to shed further light on the dynamics of quality attributes, as suggested by the theory of attractive quality. The study aims to investigate the existence of the life cycle for successful quality attributes and to identify alternative life cycles of quality attributes.Design/methodology/approach – The research is based on two surveys in which a total of 1,456 customers (708 in 2003 and 748 in 2009) participated in the classification of quality attributes. In particular, the study investigated how customers perceived 24 particular packaging attributes at two points in time, in 2003 and 2009.Findings – The study identified three life cycles of quality attributes: successful quality attributes, flavor-of-the-month quality attributes, and stable quality attributes. The research also extends the theory of attractive quality by identifying the reverse movement of certain quality attributes; that is, that a quality attribute can take a step backwards in the life cycle of successful quality attributes through, for instance, a change in design.Originality/value – The paper provides empirical evidence for the existence of several alternative life cycles of quality attributes. The results of the empirical investigation increase the validity of the theory of attractive quality, which is important, given the limited amount of research that has attempted to validate the fundamentals of the theory of attractive quality.

  • Exploring Modes of Innovation in Services
  • 2010
  • Ingår i: Proceedings of the 2nd CIRP IPS2 Conference 2010; 14-15 April; Linköping; Sweden. - : Linköping University Electronic Press. - 9789173933810 ; , s. 409-415

    • Manufacturing companies differentiating their offerings with new services need to combine both product and service innovation. We study how service development is influenced by (a) the choice of separation or integration of service development and (b) the modes of innovation. Our results show that service development often is more structured if services are developed separately. Furthermore, service innovations often follow a sequence of innovation modes different from those of product innovations. Since different innovation modes benefit from varying degree of structure in the development process, many companies find it hard to develop products and services within the same development project.

  • Idea Generation : Customer Co-creation versus Traditional Market Research Techniques
  • 2011
  • Ingår i: Journal of Service Management. - : Emerald Group Publishing Limited. - 1757-5818 .- 1757-5826. ; 22:2, s. 140-159
  • Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
    • The purpose of this paper is to understand the differences between proactive and reactive market research techniques during the development of new market offerings. The study focused on the financial and innovative performance of traditional market research techniques, such as focus groups and in‐depth interviews, in comparison to more co‐creation‐oriented techniques that are designed to capture customers' value‐in‐use.Design/methodology/approachThe study was a two‐stage process. Study I, an empirical investigation of 195 development projects in European companies, examined how these companies use different market research techniques and how this relates to the profit margins of new products and services. Study II designed an experiment with 50 users of a consumer good and evaluated the contribution of different market research techniques, based on the degree of originality and customer value.FindingsSignificant differences were found, in terms of both content and originality, between the technique based on customer co‐creation and the two traditional market research techniques (Study II). These findings can help to explain why the relationship between the use of market research techniques and profit margin (Study I) is stronger for co‐creation techniques than it is for traditional market research techniques.Originality/valueDespite empirical evidence that the application of market research techniques based on co‐creation can lead to original ideas, there is a lack of valid studies regarding how co‐creation techniques perform in relation to more traditional methods of collaboration with customers.

  • Consumer Perception at Point of Purchase : Evaluating Proposed Package Designs in an Eye-tracking Lab
  • 2010
  • Ingår i: Journal of Business & Retail Management Research. - : Journal of Business & Retail Management Research. - 1751-8202 .- 2056-6271. ; 5:1, s. 41-50
  • Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
    • In today’s retail environment, consumer products are increasingly competing for customers’ attention. Research has shown that 60–80% of purchasing decisions are influenced in-store. Thus, packaging that stands out from competitors gains a competitive advantage. This study investigates the use of eye-tracking as a method to evaluate and design packaging with better Point-of-Purchase qualities. An eye-tracking laboratory was used and shoppers were recruited for three rounds of experiments. In total, 128 participants were recruited in order to assess the potential of eye-tracking. Results show that, when taking some methodological constraints into account, eye-tracking complements traditional methodologies with further insights when investigating the Point-of-Purchase qualities of packaging.

  • Listening to the voice of the patient: new insights in health care service development
  • 2011
  • Ingår i: Proceedings QMOD Conference on Quality and Service Sciences 2011. - 8480812117
  • Konferensbidrag (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
    • Background and Purpose – The patient is usually the only one with a full understanding and experience of an entire health care episode, yet this experience and knowledge is seldom used in health care service development. It is not an understatement to say that lip service is often paid to the patient’s view. This paper aims to draw attention to the possibilities of user-driven innovation in the health care sector. The research question that guides the present study is: How can patients participate in health care development, depending on the degree of co-production in care processes? Design/methodology/approach – The empirical data was collected through the use of patient diaries. Participants belonged to either one of two categories of care – chronic disease (rehabilitation, gastro) and episodic disease (orthopaedic surgery). The participants were asked to write about everyday situations which were related to their own health care problem and contacts with health care providers, and write down ideas for improvements. In total, 53 diaries have been collected and analysed. The analysis was made through a process where patient ideas were identified and classified by the researchers. Descriptive statistics on the characteristics of the ideas and their relation to service development were then made. Findings – Our results show that patients can make varying contributions to the development of health care services, depending on the degree of co-production and the context of idea generation. Based on these two variables we describe four different roles for the contribution of patients to the development of health care services: patient as provider of information (patient with episodic disease at caregiver); patient as an expert (patient with chronic disease at caregiver); patient as co-developer (patient with chronic disease at home); and patient as sole developer (patient with episodic disease at home). Research implications –The patient diary opens new, interesting opportunities in the field of patient co-creation. Much more work is needed in this direction. Practical implications – We stress that the patient is an under-used resource and listening to the voice of the patient can generate great benefits for health care service development.
