This chapter explores the intersection of Product-Service Systems (PSS), Service Design (SD), and Service-Dominant logic (S-D logic) in driving sustainable servitization. It provides a literature-based foundation for understanding how these frameworks collectively enable systemic transformation towards sustainability. While S-D logic emphasizes value co-creation and relational exchange, service design focuses on human-centred innovation and experience-driven interactions. PSS, in contrast, facilitates sustainability through product-service integration and circular business models. The chapter applies Galbraith’s Star Model™ to illustrate how these perspectives reshape organizational structures, processes, and strategies to embed sustainability. It further examines tensions between product- and service-dominant thinking, highlighting how companies can overcome barriers by adopting a holistic service-oriented mindset. Using an industry case study, we demonstrate the practical implications of integrating these frameworks to transition from product-centricity to sustainable business models. Ultimately, this chapter provides insights for businesses seeking to enhance competitive advantage while aligning with principles of environmental stewardship, social equity, and economic resilience.

摘要

This chapter explores the intersection of Product-Service Systems (PSS), Service Design (SD), and Service-Dominant logic (S-D logic) in driving sustainable servitization. It provides a literature-based foundation for understanding how these frameworks collectively enable systemic transformation towards sustainability. While S-D logic emphasizes value co-creation and relational exchange, service design focuses on human-centred innovation and experience-driven interactions. PSS, in contrast, facilitates sustainability through product-service integration and circular business models. The chapter applies Galbraith’s Star Model™ to illustrate how these perspectives reshape organizational structures, processes, and strategies to embed sustainability. It further examines tensions between product- and service-dominant thinking, highlighting how companies can overcome barriers by adopting a holistic service-oriented mindset. Using an industry case study, we demonstrate the practical implications of integrating these frameworks to transition from product-centricity to sustainable business models. Ultimately, this chapter provides insights for businesses seeking to enhance competitive advantage while aligning with principles of environmental stewardship, social equity, and economic resilience.
