Business Model Elements for Product-Service System

Companies are seeking for new ways to do business. The Product-Service System concept can be a potential option since it meets requirements regarding sustainability and also introduces a type of business in which the focus is placed on delivering function instead of providing value thought tangible products. However, the deployment of PSS involves a reassessment of companies’ business models. Therefore, this paper identifies and classifies the characteristics of the PSS business model that need to be addressed for its implementation, which was carried out using literature review and considering three types of PSS and nine elements of a business model.
