Introduction

The previous chapter highlighted some of the key strategic management challenges now faced by many organisations in the context of the growing importance of marketing services, or the servitisation of businesses (see Vandermerwe and Rada, 1988). The extensive illustrative case-based discussion underscored how business success in services is determined by the quality of a range of strategic management decisions and actions made in relation to both the external and internal organisational environment.
