* State-of-the-art examination of the theory and practice of system
innovation* Introduces the concept of PSS innovation and outlines
the characteristics* Examines a wide range of potential research
directions on sustainable PSS design* Valuable resource for design
students, teachers and practicing designersThis book is a
state-of-the-art examination of the theory and practice of system
innovation through Product-Service System (PSS) design for
sustainability from a trans-cultural viewpoint. PSS design
incorporates innovative strategies that shift businesses away from
designing and selling physical products to developing integrated
systems of products and services. The book provides background,
advice and tools for designers and design students interested in
sustainable PSSs and has a wealth of case studies for practitioners
to digest. The first part of the book introduces the concept of PSS
innovation, outlining the characteristics and features of such
innovation, how different types of PSS can be classified, and which
are the related benefits, drivers and barriers. It argues that such
innovation has the capability to potentially bring radical
reductions in the current levels of resource consumption, without
minimizing consumer levels of satisfaction.The second part of the
book examines a wide range of potential research directions on
sustainable PSS design including: Sustainable PSS in different
socio-economic contexts (industrialized, emerging and low income)
Sustainable PSS in different organizational bodies (companies,
public administrations, NGOs) Sustainable PSS and consumption
patterns Sustainable PSS and social innovations Sustainable PSS and
aesthetics Sustainable PSS and distributed economies Sustainable
PSS and social enterprises Sustainable PSS and socio-technical
transitions Sustainable PSS and the sufficiency economy: combining
efficiency with sufficiencyThis book is the outcome of the LeNS,
the Learning Network on Sustainability, a project funded by the
Asia Link Programme, EuropAid, European Commission, for curricula
development and teaching diffusion in worldwide design Higher
Education Institutions. It is a hugely important teaching resource
for undergraduate, graduate and PhD design students, design
teachers and practicing designers worldwide."
