First, there is compelling evidence that service innovation, just like product innovation, contributes to firm performance (Saeed et al. 2015; Calantone, Harmancioglu, & Droge 2010; Rubera & Kirca 2012). Second, unlike for product innovation, frontline involvement is among the “top-10” antecedents of commercial success from service innovation and customer involvement is critical for gaining competitive advantage from service innovation (Storey et al. 2016). In a meta-analysis of 232 studies, Saeed et al. (2015) distinguished between two meta-orientations that differentially influence a firm’s capabilities for innovation—an inside-out orientation that engages strategic firm-specific resources, and outside-in orientation that engages external marketand customers-specific resources. Referring to these alternate orientations, Storey et al. (2016, p. 541) concluded that “product firms succeed by creating knowledge internally (inside-out), whereas service firms succeed more often by utilizing external knowledge and capabilities (outside-in).” The preceding findings suggest that competitive advantage through service innovation in customer-centric organizations is likely to rest on its frontlines including customer contact employees, often referred to as frontline employees (FLEs), who act as boundary spanners to connect the organization to its customers. Frontlines contribute to a firm’s outside-in capability and generate novel service ideas from customer interactions. Although the boundary-spanning role of frontline employees is well recognized, much previous research has theorized frontline activities using a demands-control or conservation of resources framework. Specifically, prior research has focused on a distinctive feature of frontline positions as “caught in the middle” of organizational imperatives that direct frontline activities toward increasing revenue and profitability, and customer","PeriodicalId":425927,"journal":{"name":"Handbook on Customer Centricity","volume":"62 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-08-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129291477","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
