Exploring Service Innovation Through a Schumpeterian Lens: Bridging Theory and Practice

This article investigates innovation in services, advocating for a Schumpeterian perspective to enhance empirical analyses. It addresses the intertwined nature of service and manufacturing activities, arguing that existing survey methods are too limiting. The author outlines the need for a broader conceptual framework that incorporates service-specific innovation concepts, thereby enriching service innovation studies. Ultimately, it suggests a synthesis of assimilation and demarcation approaches to better understand the nuances of innovation in the service sector.

  1. Article-“ identifying innovation in surveys of services: a Schumpeterian perspective”- Drejer. I. (2004) Gege Deng Service Management and Engineering

  2. Contents • Goals • Key arguments • Article structure • Conclusion • My comment & Class discussion

  3. Goals • Improve the foundation for carrying out empirical analyses of innovation in services as well as manufacturing Why? • Lack of research • Common frame work

  4. Key arguments • Service and Manufacturing activities are intertwined • Subordinate surveys VS organizational innovation -> too narrow • Autonomous surveys stress the peculiarities of services too much • Schumpeterian perspective on innovation is board enough • Schumpeter’s concept would add a needed theoretical and conceptual strengthening to service innovation studies -> develop the synthesis approach

  5. Article structure • Introduction • Short history of services • Three different approaches to analysing service innovation: assimilation, demarcation and synthesis. • subordinate surveys: assimilation -> similar • autonomous surveys: demarcation -> totally different

  6. Article structure (continued) • The Schumpeterian perspective • Innovation <-> economic concept • Four service specific innovation concepts (promoter of growth) examples : • Expertise-field: true • External relational: a particular type of organisational innovation, lack of surveys • Fomalisation: not really • Ad hoc innovation: “diffusion”->controversial concept • So is it too narrow and old?-> no • conclusions

  7. Conclusion • Many peculiarities of services innovation do also apply to manufacturing • So-called autonomous service innovation studies is non-sense?  • Build the bright between assimilation and synthesis approaches • Dissolution of boundaries

  8. My comments & Class discussion • Any other reason(other than economic concept) to prove “Schumpeterian perspective on innovation is board enough” ? • Questions?
