Abstract
The study described in this paper has set out to explore gamification from a servitization perspective to understand the opportunities and research challenges. A systematic literature review has been conducted to capture key characteristics of differing forms of gamification processes in a servitization context. The findings of our study focus on two area: (1) structural, organization’s physical bricksand-mortar attribute and (2) infrastructural, policies and practices in how structural aspects of servitization are to be managed. Six key findings are presented and collectively these contribute to our understanding of the broader gamification technologies that can help to transform servitization. The contribution of our research is twofold. First it captures a set of theoretical framework for analysing gamification in servitization context. Second, it provide an in-depth roadmap in how gamification can be applied to target major challenges in servitization.
