Abstract:The prevalence of manufacturing service innovation has led managers to focus on the high profits while ignoring the potential risks and uncertainties. In addition to the international operational risks, manufacturers are also facing external competition threats. How to identity competitors in servitization situation, and analyze their resources and capabilities to better cope with competitive threat is an urgent problem. Citing ‘market commonality’ and ‘capability equivalence’, this paper constructs a competitor identification framework of servitization, and selects Hangzhou Hangyang Co., Ltd. and Rolls-Royce as the research sample, then respectively identify the competitors in the industrial gas industry and engine MRO industry. We found that, servitization companies are not a single but face several types of competitors in service market. However, the types of competitors that pose a competitive threat to servitization companies are related to the product and industry characteristic. In addition, the trend of alliance and merger and acquisition among service providers is obvious and market concentration will be further improved.
