Abstract
As innovation is of crucial importance in services, service-intensive organisations should pay attention to the management of their new service development capabilities. Still, academics have so far been focusing on predominantly conceptual discussions regarding the core definition of organisational capability, rather than on investigating what concretely constitutes specific capabilities, let alone in the service innovation context. Therefore, based on a literature review, as well as 34 exploratory interviews in several service-intensive highly innovative organisations, we have created a mapping of concrete service innovation capabilities and related practices, approached from a strategy, resource and process perspective. Our goal is to allow for a better understanding and management of service innovation capabilities, combining both theoretical and practical perspectives.
