Professor Ali Z. Bigdeli is the Associate Dean Research and a Professor of Industrial Service Innovation at Aston Business School, Aston University. He is also the Co-Director of the Advanced Services Group, the centre of excellence in research and practice on servitization and advanced services. His interests lie in the organisational change and business model innovation brought about when organisations move towards providing capabilities rather than just selling products on a transactional basis.
In the past ten years, Professor Bigdeli has been extensively engaged with both multinational and small/medium-sized manufacturing firms to understand servitization in practice and help accelerate the adoption and implementation of advanced services. As part of his industry engagement activities, he has been the key member in founding a partnership of multinational manufacturing organisations, including Goodyear, Thales, BAXI, Nederman, Mazak, Legrand, Crown, Waters, Domino Printing, Omron and Ishida, and developed and facilitated more than 30 hands-on seminars for their senior executives to explore and accelerate the adoption of servitization.
Professor Bigdeli has a strong publication track record in leading international journals with over 100 peer-reviewed journal publications, book chapters, and conference papers, most of which have been co-developed through close collaborations with leading scholars from various institutions and countries.
