摘要

To advance growth and maintain competitiveness in market, industrial manufacturers put their efforts in developing services in addition to their previous core product. Beside of attempts to advance technology in terms of product, a growing interest in service also highlights the importance of this issue as one of the new logic of marketing. In order to meet the increasingly complex customer demands and to respond to increasing challenges from intense market competition and technological advancements, manufacturing firms have developed a growing interest in service as a source of competitive advantage (Gebauer et al. 2006). Product-oriented factories extend their service business, and even transform themselves from being purely product-oriented companies to becoming service providers (Gebauer 2008). For instance, GE Capital’s service business is experiencing explosive growth as about 60% of GE’s profits come from services (Sawhney et al. 2003). However effective combination of service and manufacturing cannot be achieved easily. For instance, typical manufacturing companies often focus on production efficiency and economies of scale, and believe that variety and flexibility are costly, whereas service oriented values center on innovation, optimization and the idea that flexibility and variety create profits. The research topic of transformation of manufacturers into service oriented business is still in its infancy (Jacob&Ulaga 2008). Generally, this study tries to measure effectiveness of a business when a manufacturer company creates blue-ocean by providing a supply consists of both a tangible and intangible product (the so-called “service”) at same time. In addition, it does not argue about whether or not the manufacturer gain money directly from provided service. In action, this school of thought pursues the ways to help customer reaches his main objective by purchasing a tangible good. This is why, firms aligns their provided service with the final objective of consumer to support his demand.
