Opis

In 2004, Robert F. Lusch and Stephen L. Vargo published their groundbreaking article on the evolution of marketing theory and practice toward "service-dominant (S-D) logic," describing the shift from a product-centred view of markets to a service-led model. Now, in this keenly anticipated book, the authors present a thorough primer on the principles and applications of S-D logic. They describe a clear alternative to the dominant worldview of the heavily planned, production-oriented, profit-maximizing firm, presenting a coherent, organizing framework based on ten foundational premises. The foundational premises of S-D logic have much wider implications beyond marketing for the future of the firm, transcending different industries and contexts, and will provide readers with a deeper sense of why the exchange of service is the fundamental basis of all social and economic exchange. This accessible book will appeal to students, as well as to researchers and practitioners.

Recenzje

'Service-dominant logic has been widely accepted as a leading theory and thinking framework for service sciences and engineering. It is now entering the consciousness of business leaders and practitioners: in multiple disciplines in business research and technology development, service-dominant logic is becoming part of the standard vocabulary and its relevance to practice is even more prominent as the data- and analytics-driven economy is emerging. Written by the pioneers who defined and framed the theory and applications of service-dominant logic, this monograph is a must read for researchers and practitioners alike.'
