520 |a To grasp better what drives today's rural development, this monograph conducts an analysis of qualitative changes in economic and social life caused by a major innovation model inherent to post-industrial society – servitization. The offered conceptual and empirical understanding of the ways of servitization in agriculture and rural development, is examined through the prism of an evolutionary approach based on the theory of Qualitative Structure. It explains why and how a switch from product-oriented to service-oriented business logic happens and suggest many new insights for improving farm management and socio-economic development of rural regions. Combined systematic and evolutionary analysis of literature on servitization and agricultural production strategies are illustrated with case studies of farming and territorial servitization projects implemented in Lithuania.
