Call For Authors!

From Jim Spohrer and Haluk Demirkan,

ISSIP in partnership with Business Expert Press is looking for authors! Please read the letter from Collection Editors James C. Spohrer and Haluk Demirkan.

We are inviting scholars and professionals with expertise in all areas of service science and systems to send us a brief proposal of their book. Please fill in Author Proposal Template and send it to Haluk Demirkan (Haluk.Demirkan@gmail.com) ISSIP and Business Expert Press (BEP) partnership supports authors producing concise, academically sound, applied books. This collection provides concise and practical descriptions of modern service innovations for professionals, government policy-makers, academics, social entrepreneurs and students. The collection includes short books that explain practical advances that best exemplify service innovations across multiple business and societal systems (e.g., retail & hospitality, finance & banking, information & communication technologies, health & education, utilities and urban services) and from multiple disciplinary perspectives (e.g., marketing, operations, management, engineering, computing, design, and more). Service innovations impact quality, productivity, compliance, and sustainability of service systems using new technologies, business models, organizational networks, governance mechanisms and end-user capabilities.
