4. Our Focused Service System
• Service Dominant Logic (SDL) can be understood from two point of
view, i. e. Behavior and Structure.
• Resource integration is the center of behavior and service system is
considered as structure.
Value in use/context
Service system
Institutions
Resource integration
Value co-creation
Resource liquidity
Resource density
Behavior
Structure

5. Our Approach
• There is not so many research for exploration of service ecosystem in
SDL perspective.
• To explore a service ecosystem is difficult due to diverse actors. Listing
up diverse actors are very difficult.
• As a result, we explore a service ecosystem using a real life case.

8. Research Methodology
• Adopt qualitative case study by interview.
• Interviews with 11 employees and 14 customers from BRAC from 17th
of December 2014 to January 2015.
• Direct observation of Village Organization (VO) meetings, and
financial education program.
• Analyze the data qualitatively (thematically).

10. BRAC, Bangladesh
• BRAC (Bangladesh Rural Advancement Committee) is one of the
biggest and successful NGOs in Bangladesh.
• BRAC provides a range of microfinance services to the poverty people
including microloans, savings, insurance and social services.
• Why we select BRAC as a case? Because BRAC not only provides
financial services but also provides a series of social services to build
livelihoods, boost consumption and improve well-being through
creating self-employment.

15. Conclusion
• First time we showed the micro, meso and macro structure of service
ecosystem in real life case.
• On-demand information sharing, 4 days monthly monitoring, financial
education, micro-service transactions, social enterprise and
community culture are the institutions in service ecosystems.
• Social enterprises from all over the world can adopt the service
system model modifying in the local settings.

Good afternoon every one.
Thank you very much for coming for Servsig 2016
I am Md. Abul Kalam Siddike, from School of Knowledge Science in Japan Advanced Institute of Science and Technology, Japan.
Today I would like to talk about …………………………………………………
A service system could be understood from two points of view namely Behavior and Structure.
When we take a position from SDL point of view, there are several concepts.
Center of behavior is resource integration.
As a result of resource integration, we receive value co-creation. In addition, RL and RD works as important mechanism for co-creation of value.
At the same time, service system determines the value in use/context.
But institutions are important for co-creation of value in context.
Without institutions service system is just the collection of freely acting actors. In the service system, actors’ behavior are constrained by some institutions or institutional rules.
This research will focus on this part.
In this section, we will show the case analysis results from BRAC’s Microfinance
2. You may think that microfinance means only financial services but it is not true
They not only provide financial services but also provide other training and capacity development services for the well being and creating self employment for the poverty people.
Our result shows the business model of microfinance is not fixed.
Previously, program organizer or branch manager provided advice and close monitoring of their valued customers.
But as the customers are increasing. Therefore, social enterprises introduced customer service assistant for providing financial education through their regular working including predisbursement orientation and four days traings.
As a result, here we can see that PO or BM is giving advice and monitoring them as well as they aslo share or exchange information with CSA for business success.
Finally, we can see here that current business model has the strengthening of educational opportunities. That is similar to our objecitives.
