The University of Brescia (UNIBS) will be presenting the paper “Towards usage-oriented business models: an assessment of European capital goods manufacturers” in the next EurOMA conference (http://www.euroma2014italy.org). The objective of this paper is to empirically investigate the way business models of capital goods manufacturers are configured and the persisting obstacles/driver toward the development of new service oriented business models, based on the findings from the survey carried out in the T-REX project.
