Abstract

This article addresses a relevant question arising in knowledge-intensive industries: modelling productivity ; an important issue of increasing importance in developed economies, (Drucker [Drucker, P. 1999. Knowledge-worker productivity: the biggest challenge. California Management Review .], Neely [Neely, A. 2002. Business Peformance Measurement: Theory and Practice . Cambridge University Press.], Ramirez [Ramirez, et al. 2004. Measuring knowledge worker productivity. Journal of Intellectual Capital .]). According to the findings presented in this paper, service science and related service dominant logic paradigm, is a useful framework upon which to understand and further operationalize productivity in complex servicings . The research approach adopted combines relevant theory in service science and productivity analysis with a real experience as practiced by a worldwide leading healthcare agency to test the validity of the concepts proposed.
