    AI-enabled smart manufacturing boosts ecosystem value capture: the importance of servitization pathways within digital-intensive industries
    (Elsevier B.V., 2024-11) Bustinza, Óscar F.; Molina, Luis M.; Vendrell Herrero, Ferrán; Opazo Basáez, Marco
    Understanding successful pathways for manufacturers to capture value within the service ecosystem framework is a recent and still nascent area of research that requires further investigation and growth. Within industrial settings, artificial intelligence (AI) constitutes an enabling technology that can be integrated across a network of products and systems, driving the transformation of these service ecosystems. From this perspective, this study proposes that the symbiotic convergence between AI-enabled smart manufacturing, which facilitates process and product enhancements, and servitization, which enables product availability and customization, contributes to a higher level of ecosystem value capture. To address this issue, a research model employing Smart Partial Least Squares was developed to examine the interplay between these constructs. By using survey data from a purposively selected sample of servitized manufacturing firms, the findings reveal the synergistic effects of integrating AI-enabled smart manufacturing and servitization. Furthermore, the results indicate variances across industrial sectors, and highlight that in digitally-intensive industries, service business models have undergone more substantial transformations, fostering accelerated ecosystem development streamlined by customization. Conversely, in digitally-augmented industries, where inputs are digital but products are predominantly analog, digital capabilities are primarily confined to production processes.

    The effect of industrial solution services (ISS) on innovation performance: the moderating role of sustainable development goals (SDGs)
    (Elsevier Ltd, 2024-05) Opazo Basáez, Marco; Bustinza, Óscar F.; Molina, Luis M.
    This article analyzes the innovation performance antecedents of manufacturing firms that implement servitization-based industrial offerings in OECD countries. These servitized offerings can be conducted either digitally (remotely) and/or physically (on-site), and provide a comprehensive solution for industrial settings. Specifically, this article proposes that firms adopting Industrial Solution Services (ISS) in their different forms, namely Digital ISS, Operational ISS and Green ISS, exhibit higher innovation performance. In order to test this assumption, a linear regression model is used to investigate the effect of the different firms’ ISS strategies - Digital, Operational and Green - which are moderated by the Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) Index in the country where the manufacturers operate. The results provide evidence that adopting Digital ISS can lead to higher innovation performance when SDGs are not taken into account. Conversely, Operational and Green ISS strategies are conducive to superior innovation performance in firms operating in countries with higher degrees of SDG accomplishment. These findings have significant theoretical and managerial implications regarding the advantages of ISS strategies for promoting innovation outcomes, particularly in alignment with nationwide SDG objectives
