The Service-Dominant Logic of Marketing
Dialog, Debate, and Directions
Edited by Robert F. Lusch, University of Arizona and
Stephen L. Vargo, University of Hawaii at Manoa
Expanding on the editors’ award-winning article “Evolving to a New Dominant Logic
for Marketing,” this book presents a challenging new paradigm for the marketing
discipline. This new paradigm is service-oriented, customer-oriented,
relationship-focused, and knowledge-based, and places marketing, once viewed as a
support function, central to overall business strategy.
Service-dominant logic defines service as the application of competencies for the
benefit of another entity and sees mutual service provision, rather than the exchange of
goods, as the proper subject of marketing. It moves the orientation of marketing from a
“market to” philosophy where customers are promoted to, targeted, and captured, to a “market with” philosophy
where the customer and supply chain partners are collaborators in the entire marketing process.
The editors elaborate on this model through an historical analysis, clarification, and extension of service-dominant
logic, and distinguished marketing thinkers then provide further insight and commentary. The result is a more
comprehensive and inclusive marketing theory that will challenge both current thinking and marketing practice.
