This paper seeks to analyze the drivers, the objectives, and the implications of service science. Rising importance of service in world economy, growing demand for service innovation, and infusion of business, technology and people lay the foundation of service science. As a multidisciplinary field, service science brings together knowledge from diverse areas by melding technology with business processes and organization. Service science embraces new mindset: service dominant logic, which builds the philosophical foundation of service science. Service system is the theoretical foundation. To facilitate the service science education, research and application, joint efforts from business, industry, governments, and academia are challenged. A framework model of service science is built, to show the drivers, stakeholders and implications of service science.
