Service Design and Experience Design: Starbucks vs Le Pain Quotidien

"What is service design? Particularly those that is delivered through a digital interface or through a peer-to-peer network. It requires a very different approach from traditional operations management and the economics is very different. Service is becoming a key part of any customer experiences. Many still find the concept a little abstract. Little attention is paid to service innovation or seeing services as structure." (Idris Mootee - innovation playground)

Interaction Design and Service Design: Expanding A Comparison of Design Disciplines 

"Interaction design encounters service design in business innovation, e-government, and a whole range of other settings. There is a range of service settings in which interactive artefacts are used to perform service, and a set of business innovation strategies combining process innovation and interactive technology. In the meeting between these the service perspective becomes a challenge to interaction design, and technology usage becomes a challenge to service design." (Stefan Holmlid - Nordic Design Research Conference)
