Start with the foundational shift: "The Service-Dominant Logic" by Vargo & Lusch. It redefines value as co-created with the customer. Then, read "Service Innovation" by Berry et al. in the Journal of Marketing for a strategic framework. For ongoing research, the Journal of Service Research is your go-to source for the latest studies.
