Abstract

Services both as a science and as a practice in today’s corporate environments are seriously suffering from many different suboptimalities. Some of these suboptimalities are structural (lack of a coherent framework to apply the service), other metaphysical (lack of a supporting culture that would increase the demand and strengthen the market for the service) or of transcendal and ephemeral nature (lack of an appropriate technology to support the service idiosyncracies – can you imagine amazon.com without any Internet?). For some others, a framework that would comprise both organisational and technology aspects could be an answer to certain pitfalls and shortcomings currently faced. Whatever the context of a service, this does not exist in a vacuum; it is provided by people who are working in an organisation to customers that are part of a more or less structured part of the society.
