Developing new products and services in entrepreneurial contexts

The experience of product service systems

In this paper, we focus on how to design product service systems (PSS) that provide for coherent user experiences. Our research is part of a large Dutch research program (CRISP, www.crispplatform.nl) on PSS. We propose a framework for identifying real PSS by integrating perspectives from economics and design theory. Our framework suggests that...

Product service systems and sustainable mobility: An electric vehicle introduction case

A product service system (PSS) is a function-oriented business model aimed at providing sustainability of both consumption and production. A PSS is defined as a marketable set of products and services capable of jointly fulfilling user needs. In theory PSSs are normally shown realized with smart products. The first PSS were largely motivated by...

Computer Aided Product Service Systems Design: Service CAD and Its integration with Life Cycle Simulation

Integration of product design into service design, or vice versa, is considered to bring more efficient and effective value addition. Besides EcoDesign tools and methods, a methodology to design such an integration of products and services from a systemic perspective, or product-service systems (PSSs), is crucial. Design is considered as one of...
