Abstract

Digitalization has changed media and retail industry in the last decades dramatically. Currently the focus switched to physical products enhanced or completely re-thought by digitalization. These products are called smart and connected products by Porter and Heppelmann, as they have smart components (i.e. computing power) in the product and are connected to a product cloud. By that, the products are enhanced with a strong service component. Since the late 90’s, there was a substantial amount of research on product-service systems (PSS). In this position paper we analyze the research on PSS and apply it to smart and connected products.
