Glossary
• Service: Value co-creation entities, interactions, and outcomes; The application of knowledge for
mutual benefits.
• Service Innovation: Scaling the benefits of new knowledge globally, rapidly, and sustainably
• Service Platform: A means of scaling the mutual benefits of new knowledge: technology (smart
phones), business model (franchise), skills (universal education), etc.
• Service system: The systems studied by service science. A dynamic configuration of people,
technology, organizations, and shared resources, connected internally and externally by value
propositions. Examples: people, families, universities, cities, states, nations, businesses, hospitals,
hotels, etc.
• Service science: The study of the evolving ecology of nested, networked service system entities –
complex systems with capabilities, constraints, rights, and responsibilities – and their interactions,
including value co-creation and capability co-elevation processes.

National Science Foundation
A feature of a service system is the
participation and cooperation of the customer
in the service and its delivery. A service system
then requires an integration of knowledge and
technologies from a range of disciplines, often
including engineering, computer science, social
science, behavioral science, and cognitive
science, paired with market knowledge to
increase its social benefit.

Thinking About Value
• Service as value co-creation
– The application of knowledge for
mutual benefits (outcomes) when
entities interact
• Service innovations scale benefits
– Role of platforms (tech, biz, social)
• Service experience
– Expectations, Interactions, Outcomes

Basics
• Service science is the study of service systems and value-cocreation interactions
and outcomes, through the lens of a service-dominant logic (SDL) worldview
– All economic interactions are direct or indirect service interactions
– Goods are vehicles for indirect service interactions
• SDL (Vargo & Lusch) defines service as…
– the application of competence (e.g., knowledge) for the benefit of another entity
– slightly more specific, easier to understand
• Service science (Spohrer & Maglio) defines service as…
– value-cocreation interactions among service system entities
– slightly more general, harder to understand

Service Systems Thinking: ABC’s
A. Service Provider
• Individual
• Institution
• Public or Private
C. Service Target: The reality to be
transformed or operated on by A,
for the sake of B
• Individuals or people, dimensions of
• Institutions or business and societal organizations,
organizational (role configuration) dimensions of
• Infrastructure/Product/Technology/Environment,
physical dimensions of
• Information or Knowledge, symbolic dimensions
B. Service Customer
• Individual
• Institution
• Public or Private

Service system entities configure four types of resources
• First foundational premise of service
science:
– Service system entities dynamically
configure
four types of resources
– Resources are the building
blocks of entity architectures
• Named resources are:
– Physical or
– Not-Physical
– Physicist resolve disputes
• Named resources have:
– Rights or
– No Rights
– Judges resolve disputes

Service system entities calculate value from multiple stakeholder perspectives
• Second foundational premise of service
science
– Service system entities calculate value
from multiple stakeholder perspectives
– Value propositions are the building
blocks of service networks
• A value propositions can be viewed as a
request from one service system to
another to run an algorithm (the value
proposition) from the perspectives of
multiple stakeholders according to
culturally determined value principles.
• The four primary stakeholder
perspectives are: customer, provider,
authority, and competitor
– Citizens: special customers
– Entrepreneurs: special providers
– Parents: special authority
– Criminals: special competitors

Service system entities reconfigure access rights to resources by mutually agreed to value
propositions
• Third foundational premise of service
science
– Service system entities reconfigure access
rights to resources by mutually agreed to
value propositions
– Access rights are the building blocks of the
service ecology (culture and information)
• Access rights
– Access to resources that are owned
outright (i.e., property)
– Access to resource that are
leased/contracted for (i.e., rental car,
home ownership via mortgage,
insurance policies, etc.)
– Shared access (i.e., roads, web
information, air, etc.)
– Privileged access (i.e., personal
thoughts, inalienable kinship
relationships, etc.)

Service system entities are physical-
symbol systems
• Service is value cocreation.
• Service system entities
reason about value.
• Value cocreation is a kind of
joint activity.
• Joint activity depends on
communication and
grounding.
• Reasoning about value and
communication are (often)
effective symbolic
processes.
