The Concept of Modularisation of Industrial Services
نویسندگان
چکیده
The paper summarises findings from an action research project on modularisation of industrial services. Based on literature about modularisation of physical goods and literature on modularisation of services, several research gaps are highlighted and appropriate approaches discussed. Module drivers addressing modularisation benefits are transferred to services. Interdependencies among service elements are presented. Research gaps on design opportunities of modular service products are addressed and possible analogies from modularisation of physical goods are introduced.

متن کاملDecentralisation – A Portmanteau Concept That Promises Much but Fails to Deliver?; Comment on “Decentralisation of Health Services in Fiji: A Decision Space Analysis”
Decentralisation has been described as an empty concept that lacks clarity. Yet there is an enduring interest in the process of decentralisation within health systems and public services more generally. Many claims about the benefits of decentralisation are not supported by evidence. It may be useful as an organising framework for analysis of health systems but in this context it lacks conceptu...
