Digitale Transformation

The employment and work of the future is taking place in service provider systems, which are a result of the digital revolution. Nevertheless, politics, science and research have insufficiently considered the consequences of the digital revolution for the organisation of work in the field of service provision. Using the example of logistics, this book presents the social economy, knowledge services, and the consequences and design options for work and employment at the levels of ‘society’, ‘services, markets and the economy’, ‘service development’, ‘service production’ and ‘model development’ from different technical perspectives. The essay ‘Services are becoming high-tech’, written by twenty academics, outlines a design concept for top-class service research, which can serve as a trailblazer for international competitiveness, high customer value and good work in the digital revolution.
