چکیده

Existing models of industry lifecycle evolution tend to focus on changes in products and processes and largely overlook the importance of services.

In this paper, we extend lifecycle theory by explicitly incorporating the role of services at different stages in the potential evolution of an industry. Building on the literature in service management and industry evolution, we provide theoretical support for our propositions regarding the potential role of services in the early, mature, and post-discontinuity phases of an industry lifecycle.
