System as a Fundamental Abstraction of Service Science Dr Liping Zhao School of Computer Science & Centre for Service Research The University of Manchester European Workshop on Service Systems (EWOSS) November 9 2009 Eindhoven, The Netherlands
Workshop Aims • To bring like-minded people together to discuss research and practice of service systems; • To have an in-depth discussion of knowledge-intensive service systems; • To decide on actions that will help us to move forward.

Discussion 1: Knowledge-Intensive Service Systems • What is knowledge-intensive service system (KISS)? • What is knowledge-based service system (KBSS)? • What is knowledge-driven service system (KDSS)? • KISS sectors? • Health care • Education • Government • Business
Discussion 2: Value Co-creation and Value Proposition • Is value co-creation a positive outcome of interactions between service suppliers and consumers? • Value = Benefits – Costs – Risks • Involving customers directly in the creation of value involves risks for both customers and producers • Kambil, Friesen and Sundaram have identified the following 6 risks(http://www.accenture.com/Global/Research_and_Insights/Outlook/By_Alphabet/CocreationValue.htm): • Privacy • Legal • Brand • Goal divergence • Effort • Equity of returns • How to manage the risks? • Define objectives • Select the right co-creators • Be Clear About Rights and Expectations • Control the Channels • Outsource Co-Creation • Provide Capabilities for Co-Creation • Manage Incentives
Discussion 3: Research Methodologies and Frameworks for Service Systems • What are suitable research methodologies and frameworks for service systems? • Soft Systems Methodology (SSM) • Complex Adaptive System Theory (CAS) • Viable System Model (VSM) • Software System Development Methods
Discussion 4: The Internet of Services • New business models? • New business processes?
