Evaluating new concepts of PSS based on the customer value: Application of ANP and niche theory

作者:

Highlights:

• We propose a method for evaluating product service systems (PSS) concept.

• The method is based on perceived value through the customer experience cycle.

• We compare customer acceptability of new PSS concepts with existing products.

• The ANP and niche theory were adopted to quantify customer’s perceptions.

• A case study on car sharing has verified the feasibility of the proposed method.
