Abstract
Through a systematic and comprehensive review of the literature on Industry 4.0 and servitization, this paper analyses the research focus on the analysis of how Industry 4.0 enables servitization from the perspective of value-added activities. Through reading all the selected 38 articles, the authors identified three areas of focus in this research: (1) innovation &knowledge-based perspective, (2) operational perspective, and (3), technology perspective. The findings from the thematic analysis will inform the development of a survey questionnaire, which will be distributed to UK manufacturers.
