Innovation in services
Article Abstract:
A study presents an extension of Lancaster's formalisation theory to analyze innovation in the service industry. Lancaster's theory defines products and processes as characteristics. Applying the theory on the service sector requires ordering and concreting of its final, technical and process characteristics. This formulation scheme precedes implementation of recombinative innovation leading to the production of a real object.
