SEMINAR 1: TRANSFORMATION TOWARDS SERVICE BUSINESS IN TECHNOLOGY-CENTRIC FIRMS

Time: Thursday 1 October, 2015, 9:00 am – 1:00 pm

The seminar on “Transformation towards service business in technology-centric firms” reports some of the final results of FIMECC’s FutIS (Future Industrial Services) Work package 1 (Service Business Mindset). The seminar is jointly hosted by Tampere University of Technology, University of Vaasa, and Aalto University. The seminar programme includes joint company and research institute presentations and discussion on:

  • Novel structures vs. current practices – a bridging challenge in organizational transformation processes
  • Developing new product-services through customer, dealer and salesperson feedback
  • Organizing industrial services
  • Transformation of practices and processes needed for service business

FIMECC’s (www.fimecc.fi) FutIS (Future Industrial Services) program engages over 20 large and medium-sized firms in technology-based industry, in collaboration with selected research institutes and international partners, in researching the prerequisites, contexts, market knowledge and practices – i.e., future-oriented and customer-centered enablers – required for adopting and expanding service business. The combination of knowledge in strategy, innovation, operations, and marketing creates a fruitful ground for transforming the companies towards service business and promoting new knowledge in the international research field. The program is funded by Finnish Funding Agency for Technology and Innovation Tekes, companies and research institutes, and it is carried out during 2010-2015.
