ABSTRACT In PSS design, hardware and service developers often have different objectives. Lacking to communicate and negotiate them across boundaries might lead to solutions unable to generate market shares and long-term profitability. This paper aims to contribute to the definition of ‘boundary objects’ that facilitate the sharing of knowledge between members of cross-functional teams engaged […]

Most of us are becoming familiar with the concept of car sharing: why do you need to buy your own car when you can rent it, just when you need it? This is not only good for your pocket, but provides significant environmental benefits too. Collaborative consumptions patterns are becoming everyday more popular, so are […]
