Abstract
Servitization literature has diverged in two directions; those adopting a goods-dominant logic and others a service-dominant logic. To understand where the two streams converge and diverge, this paper asks what the points of convergence and divergence are between the two approaches to servitization. While both streams of literature have dealt extensively with servitization, their conceptual underpinnings and use of key terms are fundamentally different, and have become confused within literature. This lack of clarity and understanding is counterproductive and presents a challenge to both research and practice. To address this issue, this paper reviews the extant literature to identify and understand the convergences and divergences within. More specifically, a two-tiered thematic analysis consisting of both semantic and latent theme analysis is employed. Our findings highlight five points of departure that this paper elaborates upon, giving examples of where both logics have been applied. They also propose conditions under which one logic may be more appropriate and finally, identify future research directions.
