Special Issue on Business Models in Service Ecosystem
Perspective
The
Special Issue “Business Models in Service Ecosystem Perspective” of the Journal
of Service Science and Management (JSSM) aims to foster a conceptual
advancement of the debate on service ecosystems and to highlight the practical
implication arising from the adoption of the service ecosystem perspective.
Researchers are invited to submit original works on business models in service
ecosystem perspective.
In this special issue, we intend to invite
front-line researchers and authors to submit original research and review
articles on exploring Business
Models in Service Ecosystem Perspective. Potential topics include, but are not
limited to:
l Service ecosystem sustainable development
l Business models innovation
l Forefront marketing practices
l Service-oriented decision making
l Value co-creation practical examples
l Service-based information technology
l Communication in service ecosystems
l Actor to Actor relationships
l Ecosystem service management
Several
case studies show the benefits deriving from the definition of service-oriented
business models, based on the implementation of strategies that place the
service at the center of the value co-creation process. Drawing up a business
model in the service ecosystem perspective means creating a community of
interacting actors who share and exchange their resources in order to adapt to
the environment and co-evolve for mutual benefits: business models may be
advantageously interpreted according to the service ecosystem lens since every
actor engaged in business processes can be seen as a complex service system
capable of creating social and economic wellbeing thanks to resource
integration processes, institutional arrangement, alignment of individual goals
towards the ultimate finality of value co-creation.
