Merger proposal

The following discussion is closed. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section. A summary of the conclusions reached follows.

The result of this discussion was No Consensus. This discussion should have been closed back in December 2010, at which point there was no option to the merge. But that wasn't done, and things have clearly changed since then.NukeofEarl (talk) 19:54, 10 March 2014 (UTC)

I propose merging Service Science and Engineering into this article. It looks like the contents overlap significantly. — GypsyJiver (drop me a line) 05:52, 24 November 2010 (UTC)

As an alternative, I would suggest that we should split up service science, service engineering, and service management. This is a new field that is gradually maturing. A service manager may or not be a service engineer, who may or may not be a service scientists.

As a finer distinction, I'm starting to see a split between people who would describe themselves as service scientists and service systems scientists. (I'm just noticing a similar problem in the lack of linkages between Marketing and Marketing Science, where the latter currently just points to a journal, rather than describing the field. (Marketing Science is about 20 years more mature than Service Science). Daviding (talk) 14:12, 27 June 2011 (UTC)
