What is a “Service”?• whatever is not agriculture or manufacturing
• processes, performances, or experiences that one person or organization does for the benefit of another

What is a “Service”?• whatever is not agriculture or manufacturing
• processes, performances, or experiences that one person or organization does for the benefit of another
• involves deployment of knowledge, skills, and competences that oneperson or organization has for the benefit of another, often involvingcustomization

• a business transaction that depends on having a high degree of front-stage activities to interact with the customer, whereas traditionalmanufacturing depends almost entirely on back-stage activities

What is SSME?
An interdisciplinary approach to the study, design,and implementation of services systems – complexsystems in which specific arrangements of peopleand technologies take actions that provide valuefor others.
Wikipedia (Feb 24, 2008)http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Service_Science,_Management_and_Engineering
The objective of SSME is the systematic study ofservices in order to enable service innovation.

Why SSME?(or, The demand for Service Innovation)
2/26/08 SSME: What, Why and How4
Why SSME?(or, The demand for Service Innovation)
Service is as old as the division of laborBUT1. The scope, scale and complexity of service systems is
increasing and the competition is global

• Academics have been studying “services” for a long time, butfocused on marketing, or management or economics,subjects traditionally examined by business schools
• Today, with the rise of technology-enabled services, thefocus must be on service as a system of interacting parts thatincludes people, technology, and business.

• Design of “mixed” service-delivery processes– How do we decide which tasks are appropriate for
automation and which should be delivered throughemployees?
– How do we formally define the roles that employees play in amixed service-delivery process?
