The design, planning and control of complex integrated solutions are seen as a key capability of the competitiveness of companies in the future. The integration of complex value systems will be the leading paradigm for future design and key element of learning and innovation processes in the dynamically changing manufacturing and service industries. To meet with this challenges entirely new perspectives and ways of researching and the integrated designing of complex, highly interdependent value delivery systems will be required. Currently dominating single perspective and static frameworks and research methods fall short in this perspective.
For a considerable time, European companies in the capital goods industry experience stagnating growth in material goods markets. Moreover, increasing international competition forces European companies to improve their market position. In order to stay successful, an increasing number of companies adapt their businesses from manufacturing to service provider. Unfortunately, the number of companies who manage to turn their portfolio change into a competitive advantage is comparatively low. Therefore, this paper focuses on the development of a framework for the positioning as industrial services provider. Besides, it provides support for management in shaping the changes that occur with the transformation.
