We would like to invite you to this service management forum at the Cambridge Service Alliance, University of Cambridge. This forum will provide an opportunity for PhD students to meet and collaborate in groups to discuss the future of services in the digital era.

We believe that emerging scholars hold the key to addressing the challenges facing service management in the future. With ongoing global events such as the economic impact of COVID, the war in Ukraine, Brexit, and the climate emergency, researchers must focus on the future of service management to address these critical issues.

Now more than ever, PhD researchers need to address “what is the future of service management research in the digital era?” We are particularly interested in exploring themes such as the use of emerging technologies in service design, service innovation, customer experience, service business models, service strategy, and sustainability, among others.
At the Cambridge Service Management Forum, we promise a warm, welcoming, and intellectual experience. Additionally, we are delighted to host you for dinner at one of the University of Cambridge's prestigious colleges, where you can immerse yourself in the Cambridge atmosphere.

Why you should attend:

  •     Enhance your research skills and knowledge in service management through the forum's collaborative and engaging format.
  •     Network, collaborate, gain insight and build relationships with fellow researchers in the field.
