Abstract

Service Innovation plays an important role in research and practice and enabled the surge of new concepts that changes the focus from a product-oriented approach to a service-oriented approach. However, further developments place the customer in the center of company-client relationships. The recent advances in customer data analysis and the positioning of customers as company’s co-creators led to the development of a new concept called Customer-induced Orchestration of Services. The novelty of the topic requires further studies and a deeper understanding of the interdisciplinary concepts around it. This paper identifies the main drivers and concepts, allowing a more holistic view on the topic. The results support further research, as well as the development of a framework or method for the application of Customer-induced Orchestration of Services, which enables more transparency and control for customers.
