Summary

Industrial services offer an interesting opportunity for companies in the business-to-business sector to strengthen the relationships with their customers and thus to increase company performance.

Furthermore, the question of how a service strategy can be successfully implemented is of utmost importance. In an empirical study we got evidence that the service-oriented design of management systems is a success factor for implementing service strategies.
