Abstract

The existing studies do not adequately address the complex interplay between co-evolving production, innovation
and service networks. The widening geographical and cognitive gap between these networks means that managing
their interfaces in global operations context is becoming strategically important. Therefore, the purpose of this paper
is to develop a number of propositions about organization and management of these interfaces. The propositions
are developed by employing the design science approach based on a literature study and industrial co-development
workshops with twelve Danish industrial companies. The paper closes with suggestions for how the tentative results of
this work can be unraveled further.
