Weaving the Fabric of Global Well-Being with Service Research

Join Us for an Inspirational ServCollab Preconference Morning Workshop on Thursday, June 6, 2024

What: If you are attending the SERVSIG Conference in Bordeaux, France, we invite you to an enriching morning prelude: the ServCollab Preconference Workshop.

This free session explores ServCollab’s Seven Service Research Themes, a pioneering framework derived from the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). These themes were developed by ServCollab and the Journal of Services Marketing.

The seven Service Research Themes – wellbeing, opportunity, resources, economics, institutions, the planet, and collaboration – offer a fresh perspective on service research opportunities that address global challenges.

Why: The workshop is more than a learning opportunity — it’s a collaborative space where service researchers can discover research opportunities within the Seven Service Research Themes. Attendees will discuss the themes and brainstorm possible service research projects on them. They will also discuss how such projects can become ServCollab research projects and become part of a larger research agenda.

When: Mark your calendars for Thursday morning, June 6, 2024 to attend an invigorating half-day workshop and start the SERVSIG Conference early with inspiration and collaboration.

Where: Our Preconference Workshop occurs at the 13th SERVSIG Conference 2024 in Bordeaux, France. For details on the entire conference program, visit the 13th SERVSIG Conference Program.

Register: When you register for the SERVSIG Conference, be sure to register for our free workshop, too.

Visualize the Themes: This announcement is accompanied by a graphic illustration of the Seven Service Research Themes. These themes are pathways for creating service research that can significantly impact global well-being and sustainability.

Access Further Insights: To explore potential research avenues and delve deeper into the synthesis of the UN SDGs into our seven Service Research Themes, please visit the Journal of Services Marketing at Emerald Insight.

Please join us as we embark on this exciting endeavor to inspire future service research that addresses human and planetary wellbeing. Together, we can turn research into impactful action.

Journal of Services Marketing / ServCollab Special Issue on Improving Life on Planet Earth

In collaboration with Emerald Publishing’s Journal of Services Marketing, ServCollab is announcing a ServCollab Special Issue on Improving Life on Planet Earth.

Uniquely, this is the first business journal issue that covers all 17 of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDG), which makes it the first comprehensive set of SDG-related business research frameworks.

We are happy to announce that Emerald is making each of these articles available for free download during the month of February.

The 17 United Nations SDGs are well known. Working with Rebekah Russell-Bennett and Mark Rosenbaum (the editors of the JSM), ServCollab synthesized the 17 UN SDGs into seven Service Research Themes that enable service researchers to focus their research on one or more of these seven service research themes.

We are attaching the graphic for these Service Research Themes.

Seven teams of coauthors from eight countries collaborated to write these invited commentaries. Each commentary explores service research on a Service Research Theme and proposes research agendas to accelerate progress on improving life on Planet Earth.

In creating this synthesis, we are not seeking to replace the work of the UN. Rather, we are seeking to amplify the SDGs by urging service researchers to focus on a seven service research themes that they want to research.

ServCollab urges researchers from any discipline to engage with the profound problems facing humanity and collaborate together on research that serves humanity.

As you read these articles, please consider developing a research project that builds on one of these service research themes.

ServCollab will soon be providing instructions on how such projects can become ServCollab research projects.
