University-Based Entrepreneurial Ecosystems
(U-BEE’s)
http://www.service-science.info/archives/1056
 Holistic Product-Service Systems provide access to
“Whole Service” to people inside, including
Transportation, Water, Food, Energy,
Communications, Buildings, Retail, Finance,
Health, Education, Governance, etc.
 Examples: Nations, States, Cities, Universities,
Hotels, Hospitals, Homes
 Definition: An holistic product-service system is a
type of complex value-cocreation system that can
provide “whole service” to its primary population
of people, independent of all external systems, for
an extended period of time, balancing
independence with interdependence (outsourcing
limits, re-cycle to sustain, etc.)
 University-Based Entrepreneurial Ecosystems (U-
BEE’s): Universities are usually in the “top five”
job creators of regions, when they have associated
incubators & science-technology parks, super-
computing data centers, hospitals, cultural &
conference hotels, K-12 schools, etc.

Growing Importance of Universities with Large, Growing Endowments
“When we combined the impact of Harvard’s direct spending on payroll, purchasing and construction –
the indirect impact of University spending – and the direct and indirect impact of off-campus spending by
Harvard students – we can estimate that Harvard directly and indirectly accounted for nearly $4.8 billion
in economic activity in the Boston area in fiscal year 2008, and more than 44,000 jobs.”

What’s the best way to predict the future?
 The best way to predict the future is….
– To create it. (Moliere)
– To invent it. (Kay)
– To inspire and enable the next generation to build it better (IBM UPward)

A Framework for Global Civil Society
 Daniel Patrick Moynihan said nearly 50 years ago: "If you want to
build a world class city, build a great university and wait 200
years." His insight is true today – except yesterday's 200 years
has become twenty. More than ever, universities will generate and
sustain the world’s idea capitals and, as vital creators,
incubators, connectors, and channels of thought and
understanding, they will provide a framework for global civil
society.
– John Sexton, President NYU

NPR: Out of Economic Chaos, A New Order May Be Rising
 HAWLEY: The grand total of U.S. automotive fatalities from 1975 to the present, about one and a
half million people. Now, the grand total of U.S. fatalities from 1775 to the present in every military
conflict we've had is 1.3 million. So in other words, in the last roughly 35 years we've killed more
people with cars than we have in more than 300 years of warfare.
 I think if you step back and look at cars from a sort of 35,000 foot level, you've got to wonder why
we're doing this to ourselves. And there's a tremendous amount of industry and employment built
up around it. But suppose it all changed.
 One way it could change is if human weren't allowed to drive cars anymore. Or let me put it
differently. If cars were much more appealing because they drove themselves and did it safely.
 And this isn't just Jetson stuff. There's a brilliant computer scientist, artificial intelligence
researcher at Stanford, named Sebastian Thrun. He's invented a car that drives itself. You can hop
in the car and you never touch the wheel or the pedals. It navigates through all the traffic snarls. It
won't run over little old ladies in Pasadena. It won't even run over a squirrel.
 If you could eliminate the seven million accidents per year, the 2.9 million injuries, the 40,000
fatalities, that would be enormous boon. But if you think about what would happen in the short
term. Let's suppose in the next five or ten years this idea comes to fruition.
 Think about all the disruption that could cause. You might not have to own a car. Well, that might
be good. You'd have a garage that you could use to start up a company instead of storing a couple
of rusting hulks of metal in it. You'd never have to call Tom and Ray Magliozzi again, because you
wouldn't have to fix your car.
 There wouldn't be a parking problem, because you'd push a little button on your iPhone, a smart
car would zip up, pick you up, drop you off where you need to go. That means no more valets, no
more taxi drivers, no more meter maids, no more traffic cops. You'd never hear a car horn,
because why would a robot car honk at another robot car. Makes no sense.
 But that's an example of the sort of change that in the short term can cause immense of amounts
of anxiety and upheaval.

What are the characteristics of highly innovative regions?
 Frequent Alignment Meetings (monthly, quarterly, annual)
– City’s Innovation Roadmap (Mayor’s Office)
– University’s Innovation Roadmap (President of University)
– Incubator’s Innovation Roadmap (Head of University-based Incubator)
– Smart Specialization (LNU Vaxjo Wood, UA Tuscon Border Security, etc.)
 Local Role Model(s) – Investment in Risk-Taking
– Local success stories and role models
– Ideally, a billionaire local entrepreneur & Foundation
– At least $10M annual investment in entrepreneurship programs & local incubator
 Local Culture – “Just Say Yes to Entrepreneurs”
– University as a first customer, City as a second customer
– Sometimes “born global” on the cloud
– Smarter local risk-taking, smarter global scale-out planning
 Early Identification and Alignment with Scale-Up Partner
– Which firms/organizations already have many customers that will need the innovation
– Finding ways to establish win-win growth strategies as early as possible

A major societal transformation is underway…
“If we’re number one in technology, why do I have to call India for tech support?” – Jay Leno
“Ideas are the new currency in a global knowledge economy.” – Ben Wildavsky, Senior Fellow, Kauffman Foundation
“No country can lead in today’s world unless it leads in science.” – Speaker Nancy Pelosi
“A history of modernization is in essence a history of scientific and technological progress… I firmly believe science is
the ultimate revolution.” – Wen Jiabao, Premier, People’s Republic of China
 Driven by “The Death of Distance” & “Algorithmic Revolution”
- Cairncross, Economist (1997)
- Zysman, CACM (2006)
 Manifesting in new forms of “Global Competition”
– Friedman, The World is Flat (2005)
 Characterized as a “Gathering Storm” by Americans
– US National Academies (2005, 2007, 2011)

The Gathering Storm Report
“The committee concluded that the United States appears to be on a course that will lead to declining, not growing,
standard of living for our children and grandchildren.” – Gathering Storm
“Gentlemen, we have run out of money. It is time to start thinking.” – Rutherford
 “The Gathering Storm report is focused upon the ability of Americans to compete
for employment in a job market that increasingly knows no geographic
boundaries.”
 “The United States takes deserved pride in the vitality of its economy, which
forms the foundation of our high quality of life, our national security, and out hope
that our children and grandchildren will inherit every greater opportunities.”
 “The possession of quality jobs is the foundation of a high quality life for the
nations citizenry.”
 “While only four percent of the nations workforce is composed of scientists and
engineers, this group disproportionately creates jobs for the other 96 percent.”
 “Further, the pace of creation of new knowledge appears by almost all measures
to be accelerating.”
 “While this progress by other nations is to be both encouraged and welcomed, so
too is the notion that Americans wish to continue to be among those people who
do prosper.”
 “The Gathering Storm committee contends that it is strongly in America’s interest
for all nations to prosper. Aside from its humanistic merit this outcome should
produce a safer world for everyone…”

The Gathering Storm Recommendations
“It would be impossible not to recognize the great difficulty of carrying out Gathering Storm recommendations, such as
doubling the research budget, in today’s fiscal environment… However… One seemingly relevant analogy is that a
non-solution to make an over-weight aircraft flight-worthy is to remove an engine.” – Gathering Storm Revisited
“The fate of empires depends on how they educate their children.” – Aristotle
“The best way to predict the future is to inspire & enable the next generation to build it better.” –IBM UPward
 I. Improve inputs to universities
– Fix “broken” K-12 system (invest in K-12)
 III. Improve outputs from universities
– Fix “broken” University system (invest in Higher Education)
 II. Improve transitions from university to first job
– Fix “broken” Employment system (increase R&D funding)
 IV. Improve speed of regional innovation
– Fix “broken” Governance system (align visa, tax, etc. regulations)

The Gathering Storm, Revisited for All Regions
“There is nothing as practical as a good theory.” – Kurt Lewin
“History is a race between education and catastrophe.” – H.G. Wells
 Regions are entities that must learn to learn better
– Regions = Nations, States, Cities, etc…
– Learning = Improving the global competitiveness performance of a region
 Regional entities = “Holistic product-service systems”
– that provision access to high-quality “whole service” to the people in them
– that also provision access to high quality products & services globally
– to contribute to a higher quality-of-life, both inside and outside their region
– service science studies product-service systems & customer-provider interactions
(value-cocreation mechanisms, including the servitization of products and
productization of service by the algorithmic revolution and other means)
 Regional innovation = “Entities learning”
– “Run-Transform-Innovate Learning Framework”
– “T-Shaped Professionals & the Systems-Disciplines Framework”
– University-Based Entrepreneurial Ecosystems (U-BEEs)

Societal Transformation: Changing Rules of Competition
“The purpose of business is to create new customers.” – Peter Drucker
 From Value-Creation Worldview: Compete Against Others - Zero-Sum Mindset
– During different time intervals some regions begin to pull ahead, and some fall behind…
eventually the people in lagging regions immigrate to leading regions, some lagging regions
“collapse” and are absorbed into other regions or remain dysfunctional… not only is human capital
squandered in lagging and collapsed regions, but human suffering grows over time in these
regions…. disenfranchised populations create a security threat for all….
 To Value-CoCreation Worldview: Compete With/For Others - Non-Zero-Sum Mindset
– The gains of innovators are “taxed” based on geography of their customers as well as home
location of provider (providers cannot succeed without customers)… as innovators seek to expand
their markets into other regions successfully the “governments” of both provider and customer
regions see tax revenues increase… accelerating both “transform” and “innovate” capabilities…
accelerating entities learning and regional innovation.
– Innovator regions benefit the most, but the incentive is not to pull so far ahead that other regions
lag too far behind or collapse; the incentive is to also create wealthier more capable customers
over time, and regions compete in cycles of progress that move everyone forward…
 Simple Examples of Value-CoCreation Model:
– Toyota locating manufacturing plants in the US
– “The Huppenthal Method” Style of Learning Competition
• Students compete, but “winning” is defined as everyone completing the work as fast as
possible, to beat their individual and collective previous best time
• Leaders help those lagging behind catch-up, peer-mentoring and win-win NZS mindset
• Demonstrated accelerated learning times and elevated student engagement levels

In Sum…
“College is more valuable to the future economy than petroleum.” – Greg Easterbrook, Author
“You can always depend on the Americans to do the right thing, after exhausting all other possibilities.” – Churchill
 Gathering Storm reflects a major societal transformation underway
– Driven by “The Death of Distance” and “Algorithmic Revolution”
– Manifesting in new, challenging forms of “Global Competition”
 The nature of regional competition is being transformed (accelerating)…
– From Value-Creation Worldview: “Compete Against” - Zero-Sum Mindset
– To Value-CoCreation Worldview: “Compete With/For” - Non-Zero-Sum Mindset
 The transformation depends on increasing “trust” … a hard thing to do
– However, increasing interconnectedness suggests there is no other viable alternative
– Cascade failures in globally interconnected economies are a real threat to stability
 Increased trust can only be earned by performance against a shared innovation

Cities
 “Cities are the defining
artifacts of civilisation. All
the achievements and
failings of humanity are
here… We shape the city,
and then it shapes us.
Today, almost half the
global population lives in
cities.”
– John Reader, author of Cities
 IBM Releases ``IBM and the
Future of our Cities'' Podcast

 Great-Great-Great-Grand-Parents – Age 100-120 (offspring 32)
– (Local & Global) Celebrate, Tell Stories, Depart & Explore Further Realms

The Game of Life: Service Science Framework
 The Game Board: A configuration of PS (Physical Systems), with interspersed
PSS (Physical Symbol Systems) and SSE (Service System Entities).
– The SSE are PSS are PS
– The infrastructure is PS + PSS
• The PS have hidden information (state)
• The PSS have observable information (state and read-write)
– The SSE use information to co-create value
• World model – information about the world (The Game Board)
• Self model – information about self (SSE)
• The SSE have a beginning and an end (life-cycle)
• The SSE judge quality-of-life across their life-cycle
– The game is each generation of SSE try to improve quality-of-life, by improving the capabilities
of the infrastructure (less waste, more support for SSE activities) and the capabilities of the
SSE to co-create value (an SSE activity)
– The starting game board consists of PS with a few PSS, and the goal is to see how quickly and
with how little energy and with how few types and tokens of PS, the PSS can become SSE and
reconstruct a high level infrastructure and high quality of life and continuously improve at a
sustainable pace.
• Processes of valuing are based on the above

Quality-of-Life measures continuously improve
Quality-of-Life = Quality-of-Service + Quality-of-Jobs + Quality-of Investments-Returns

Service system entities configure four types of resources
 First foundational premise of
service science:
– Service system entities
dynamically configure
four types of resources
– Resources are the building
blocks of entity
architectures
 Named resources are:
– Physical or
– Not-Physical
– Physicist resolve disputes
 Named resources have:
– Rights or
– No Rights
– Judges resolve disputes

Service system entities calculate value from multiple stakeholder
perspectives
 Second foundational premise of
service science
– Service system entities calculate
value from multiple stakeholder
perspectives
– Value propositions are the building
blocks of service networks
 A value propositions can be viewed as
a request from one service system to
another to run an algorithm (the value
proposition) from the perspectives of
multiple stakeholders according to
culturally determined value principles.
 The four primary stakeholder
perspectives are: customer, provider,
authority, and competitor
– Citizens: special customers
– Entrepreneurs: special providers
– Parents: special authority
– Criminals: special competitors

Service system entities reconfigure access rights to resources by
mutually agreed to value propositions
 Third foundational premise of service
science
– Service system entities reconfigure
access rights to resources by mutually
agreed to value propositions
– Access rights are the building blocks of
the service ecology (culture and
information)
 Access rights
– Access to resources that are
owned outright (i.e., property)
– Access to resource that are
leased/contracted for (i.e., rental
car, home ownership via
mortgage, insurance policies, etc.)
– Shared access (i.e., roads, web
information, air, etc.)
– Privileged access (i.e., personal
thoughts, inalienable kinship
relationships, etc.)

Service system entities are physical-symbol systems
 Service is value
cocreation.
 Service system entities
reason about value.
 Value cocreation is a
kind of joint activity.
 Joint activity depends
on communication and
grounding.
 Reasoning about value
and communication are
(often) effective
symbolic processes.

Service System Dynamics: Four Key Drivers of Change
 Provider: Technology (Tech) & Sustainable Value-Cocreation Models
– New technology to boost productivity & capacity (innovate)
– Use technology to perform routine manual, cognitive, and transactional work
– New relationship networks: Business models and new ventures (for-profit & non-profits)
 Customer: Self Service
– New self-service options to lower costs & expand choice (educate)
 Authority: Rules
– New rules to fix problems & achieve policy goals (regulate)
– Institutional diversity and governance of resource commons (Ostrom et. al.)
 Competitors: Rankings
– New rankings to guide decision-making & gain “valued” customers (differentiate)
– Hint: You want to be at the top of an independently ranked list of what customers are looking for…
– Especially for “valued” customers - calculating customer lifetime value (Rust et. al.)

Example Service System Re-Design: A College Course
 Problem: What if a college course had…
– Input: Student quality lower
– Process: Faculty motivation lower
– Output: Industry fit lower
 Solution: Tech + Self-Service
– E: -20% E-learning enrollment
pre-certification
– F. +10% Faculty interest tuning
– J. +10% on-the-Job skills tuning
After a decade the course may look quite different
Service systems are learning systems: productivity, quality, compliance, sustainable innovation
