cost analysis in product-service systems: a systematic literature review

This paper delves into the cost analysis methods of product-service systems (pss). with earth's limited resources and the rise of systems like the circular economy, the development of product-service systems, as exemplars of sustainability-driven servitization solutions, is inevitable. by reviewing subject areas related to cost analysis in product-service systems literature published in quality journals, this study aims to identify and discuss current themes, how cost analysis is addressed in different pss business model implementation tactics, and propose areas for future research. in this research, a narrow but in-depth bibliometric analysis of product-service systems cost analysis has been conducted. by examining research relevant to the scope of this paper, some primary areas for future research including value-based pricing using utility theory, calculation of eco-cost value, and utilizing simulation models for uncertainty management, have been extracted. a narrow but in-depth bibliometric analysis of product-service systems cost analysis can add value to the future development of this research area by recognizing leading scholars in the field.
