All this is configured at the level of strategy, development and execution of the service, under a sustainable, multidisciplinary, international and technological perspective, at the level of business-to-customer (B2C), business-to-business (B2B) and customer-to-customer (C2C) relations, both in public and private, on-line and off-line organisations.
The SIV group is continuously monitoring the existing research gaps in the service field and also in specific service sectors with special relevance in Leisure -Tourism, Culture and Sport-, Health and Education, with a philosophy of continuous transfer to companies and institutions at national and international level.
