Description/Abstract
This is the final article in the Services Science and Innovation series and the intention is to do two main tasks. In Part 1 we highlight some of the key messages that are captured in the expanding discussion of the management of services which constitute the majority of most developed countries’ GDPs. In Part 2 we then test and apply some of those lessons to a practical and challenging situation in the rail maintenance sector. This draws on a collaborative two year research project and the continuing involvement of one of the authors as a participant observer in the sector. It is one of the main thrusts of this paper that the debate is often too polarised, offering rather artificially extreme views from a pure product or pure services standpoint.
