The following topics have been strengthened: digital service business, datafication, everything-as-a-service, platform logic, user and benefit centricity, data-based services and business models, DevOps, agile process models, and agile work and interaction work/service work. Special attention is given to the role of digital technologies and the importance of data for innovation development in services. In addition, user-centeredness and benefit-centeredness are introduced as perspectives critical to success.

The book presents the current state of research and practice in a way that is suitable for learning. It describes a wide range of concepts, methods, models and tools that help with innovations and support the successful systematic design and lifecycle management of service systems.
