In PSS literature, the initial focus was on PSS's potential to bring about joint environmental and economic benefits through the integration of products and services, but in its evolution, the focus lies mainly on the attributes of PSS as a competitive business strategy.
“Although one of the initial foci in PSS literature has been its potential to bring about joint environmental and economic benefits through the integration of products and services, in its evolution, the focus lies mainly on the attributes of PSS as a competitive business strategy [7].”

PSS are business models that aim to provide incentives for more intensive product use, reuse of parts, decoupling value from the delivered physical product, and prolonging product life.
“Product-service systems (PSS) are business models that aim to provide incentives for more intensive product use, reuse of parts, decoupling value from the delivered physical product (see, e.g., Tukker, 2015;Kjaer et al., 2016), and prolonging product life (Bocken et al., 2016).”

Developing resource-efficient and effective business models based on PSS offerings is still reported as challenging for companies.
“Despite the availability of an increasing amount of academic content and approaches for BM innovation for CE (including PSS as a strategy) [9], developing resource-efficient and effective business models based on PSS offerings is still reported as challenging for companies [13,21,22].”

“At the same time, a number of studies argue that businesses should engage in the promotion of a circular economy (e.g. Gregson et al., 2015; Tukker, 2015; Witjes and Lozano, 2016), but these mainly focus on waste management or recycling.”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
