Abstract

Manufacturing firms have vigourously pursued opportunities for profitability and growth through service-led growth strategies. A major part of the existing literature has focused on such strategies and has shown that this phenomenon is prevalent and growing in most developed economies.
However very little systematic evidence regarding the extent or consequences of servitization, based on comprehensive survey research yet exists. Furthermore the current body of research presents contradictory findings regarding the impact of servitization and firm performance.
Drawing on the theoretical framework of the resource-based review, this research seeks to shed some light on this question through a survey of 185 US and European manufacturing firms along with the use of secondary financial data.
