Focusing on a case study from Turkey, the research compares PSS models in different socio-economic environments, specifically drawing insights from an Italian business case. The findings underscore the importance of understanding local economic, legal, and social conditions to foster successful PSS implementation. The study highlights critical factors that influence companies' decisions to transition to service-oriented business models and proposes areas for future research, including the need for more comprehensive stakeholder involvement and systematic evaluations.
