Abstract

The purpose of this research is to investigate the studies on service modularity
with a goal of informing service science and advancing contemporary service
systems research. Modularity, a general systems property, can add theoretical
underpinnings to the conceptual development of service science in general
and service systems in particular. Our research is guided by the following
question: how can modularity theory inform service system design? We present
a review of the modularity literature and associated concepts. We then
introduce the contemporary service science and service system discourse and
provide a framework along with suggestions for further research.
