Title: Conflict by design and why institutions matter in service design: A case of a German Creative Agency in China
The presentation will be based on a paper published earlier this year in the Journal of Business Research:
Struwe, S., Slepniov, D. (2021). Conflict by design and why institutions matter in service design: A case of a German Creative Agency in China, Journal of Business Research, Vol. 130, pp. 124-136, https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jbusres.2021.03.035.
Abstract: The paper sets out to advance our understanding of various aspects of service design and service provider–customer relationships in business-to-business (B2B) environments. It employs an in-depth single embedded case study of the relationship between a German creative agency and a German industrial client operating in China. The work chronicles how their relationship developed over time, eventually resulting in a breakdown, and captures an array of contributing factors. In addition to the main findings, the presentation will discuss the overall framing of the paper, its methodological and theoretical choices.
