Abstract

Service innovation becomes a strategic source of competitive advantage to companies in manufacturing sectors. However, despite extensive researches on it, many manufacturing firms are still struggling with it due to lack of insights provided to them. The purpose of the study is to provide insights into the nature of service innovation in the manufacturing context, by testing its antecedents and its impacts on firm performance. An empirical research with an online survey was conducted with manufacturers in China. The results indicate that service innovation has a positive influence on firm performance. All three factors have positive impacts on service innovation.
