Sustainable Services: The Natural Mimicry Approach
نویسندگان
چکیده
Environmental issues have become an integral factor in any decision-making process and in the design and implementation of manufacturing and agricultural production systems. As the service sector continuously grows in size and importance and service systems become more comprehensive, complex, and interdisciplinary, the creation of new services should be imbued with sustainability as the primary value of each service and as a service in and of itself. The paper presents a natural mimetic approach that follows the ground rules of nature to characterize the sustainability of a service and to choose the most sustainable service alternative.

Batesian mimicry is a fundamental example of adaptive phenotypic evolution driven by strong natural selection. Given the potentially dramatic impacts of selection on individual fitness, it is important to understand the conditions under which mimicry is maintained versus lost. Although much empirical and theoretical work has been devoted to the maintenance of Batesian mimicry, there are no conc...
