Networks

In principle,
networks :
Are Scale-free
Occur randomly
May be formal or
informal

In marketing,
networks :
Are built
Defined for a purpose
Requires control
Gives rise to other
networks

A member of a network based on


cooperation cannot solely maximize its
own benefits at all times but has to
show respect for the other members.
Be constantly aware of our shortcomings
instead of justifying them through
simplifications

S-D Logic
Service is the fundamental basis of exchange
Different from services
Goods are merely distribution mechanisms of service
Customer

Supplier

Value actualization is performed by users in a contextual way. It takes place through interaction in
complex networks

Service Science

an interdisciplinary approach and cooperation between companies, research and education
