Abstract

La servitización representa una estrategia de mercado muy atractiva para la industria manufacturera. De hecho, la evolución de la capacidad de los fabricantes para ofrecer sustitutos de los productos que fabrican ofreciendo soluciones óptimas a las demandas, ha mostrado un rápido crecimiento desde la década de 1980. Una extensa literatura ha descrito estas estrategias y ha demostrado que este fenómeno es generalizado y está aumentando en la mayoría de las economías desarrolladas. Sin embargo, existe poca evidencia empírica del alcance o las consecuencias de la servitización sobre el conjunto de las empresas manufactureras. El objetivo de este artículo es analizar si la estrategia de servitización presenta patrones de comportamiento similares en el territorio español mediante la aplicación de la técnica del análisis espacial. Para alcanzar esta meta, el estudio se realiza por comunidades autónomas para tratar de identificar la existencia de relaciones significativas entre la servitización y algunas variables económicas como la rentabilidad de las ventas, el tamaño de la empresa y los ingresos totales. Tras el análisis se demuestra que existe variabilidad de comportamiento en cuanto a la servitización en las diecisiete comunidades autónomas que forman el territorio español. The servitization represents a very attractive market strategy for the manufacturing industry. In fact, the evolution of the capacity of manufacturers to offer services as complements or substitutes for the products they manufacture offering optimal solutions to the demands has also demonstrated a rapid increase since the 1980s. An extensive literature has described these strategies and has demonstrated that this phenomenon is widespread and is increasing in most developed economies. However, there is no empirical evidence of the scope or results of servitization on all manufacturing companies. The main aim of this paper is to analyze if the servitization strategy presents a similar pattern of behavior in the Spanish territory through the application of the spatial analysis technique. To achieve this goal, the study is carried out by autonomous communities in order to identify the presence of significant relationships between servitization and some economic variables such as the profitability of sales, the size of the company and total revenues. Finally, derived from the results obtained by the present study, it is shown that there is variability of behavior in terms of servitization in all autonomous communities that make up the Spanish territory.
