Larsson, Challenges for Industrial Product/Service Systems: Experiences from a learning network of large companies, Proceedings of the 1st CIRP Industrial Product-Service Systems (IPS2) Conference, Cranfield University, 1-2 April 2009, pp298978-0-9557436-5-8http://hdl.handle.net/1826/3869Organised by: Cranfield UniversityIn Sweden, there are a growing number of manufacturers that are using the approach of industrial product/service systems. This paper explores how manufacturers and university researchers have started a workshop series where important and topical product/service system issues are elucidated. The companies face many challenges in order to achieve a good product/service system business. Many challenges are related to changing different peoples’ mindset within the company and/or with external companies and customers. Having a learning network approach of dealing with these challenges has been perceived as a good manner of tackling the questions raised within the product/service system providing companies.enCopyright: Cranfield University 2009PSSIntegrated Product Service Engineering (IPSE)IPS²Learning networksConference paper
