To address Industry 4.0, service-oriented manufacturing unifies the development track of product development and service innovation and constructs a high-quality transformation path based on the service value chain. Therefore, analyzing the specific strategy of service-oriented manufacturing and clarifying its static connotation and dynamic evolution direction have become important topics in academic circles. First, based on the core logic of value creation, the upgrade model and critical contents of service-based manufacturing are studied and summarized using upgrade theory, guided by the evolutionary theory of enterprise deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA). Combining the service value chain (SVC) characteristics of leading enterprises, the influence mechanism of autonomy and otherness on service-oriented manufacturing is clarified. Second, the upgrade model content and upgrade evolution mechanism of service-oriented SVC manufacturing among leading enterprises are summarized. Four upgrade patterns—traditional manufacturing, service-based manufacturing progressive upgrade, and service-based manufacturing breakthrough upgrade I and II—are formed. The Hai Feng Ju Zhen (in Chinese; HFJZ) matrix of the guiding framework of service-oriented manufacturing development is finally formed using the service and manufacturing trends of enterprise revenue-cost. Finally, the complete process of service-oriented manufacturing is identified, presented, and explored using the vertical case of Aviation Industry Corporation of China (AVIC) High Tech. The logical evolutionary framework of resource–capability–advantage–development guides enterprises to construct a spiral development system involving the static upgrading-dynamic evolution of service-oriented manufacturing. We also verify the practicability and regularity of each stage in service-oriented manufacturing through the actual case of AVIC High Tech. We find that enterprises should follow the logic of value creation and use the active introduction of service factors to break the bondage of diminishing production factors. The product development and service innovation of service-oriented manufacturing can double-track and thus should achieve the synergistic construction of the supply chain, value chain, and innovation chain. The upgrade mode of service-oriented manufacturing should be compatible with the state of an enterprise and should not blindly service and lead to the stagnation of development. Scientific research and judgment in terms of a service-oriented manufacturing trajectory and the construction of a development state compatible with service-oriented manufacturing are the keys to the formation of SVC-leading enterprises.
Many fintech consumers are hesitant to perform online transactions given the lack of trust in online companies. In response to this reality, we construct and evaluate a trust-theoretic user acceptability model for financial technologies. The research seeks to look at the influence of trust on the intention to use fintech. A sampling of potential users in Pakistan is used to validate the model experimentally. Smart PLS 3 has been used to robust the theorized configuration of constructs (structural equation modeling) based on 275 survey responses. Contrary to other scenarios, the findings indicate that "customer trust in fintech" is more important than other aspects in determining technology adoption. Pakistani consumers' intention is positively affected by trust. Trust facilitators influence consumers' trust; among them, trust propensity is the factor having high values, followed by perceived size, interaction with online customers, perceived benefit, third-party seal, perceived ease of use, and perceived reputation.

Subway emergency may lead to passengers’ panic, especially under self‐organizing circumstance, which will spread rapidly and have an adverse impact on the society. This paper builds an improved SIRS model of passengers’ panic spread in subway emergency with consideration of passengers’ density, the characteristic of subway car with the confined space, and passengers’ psychological factors. The spread of passengers’ panic is simulated by use of Matlab, which draws the rules of how group panic spreads dynamically. The trend of stable point of the infection ratio is analyzed by changing different parameters, which help to draw a conclusion that immunization rate, spontaneous immune loss rate, and passenger number have a great influence on the final infected ratio. Finally, we propose an integrated control strategy and find the peak of passengers’ panic and the final infected ratio is greatly improved through the numerical simulation. The research plays a vital role in helping the government and subway administration to master the panic spread mechanism and reduce the panic spread by improving measures and also provides certain reference significance for rail system construction, emergency contingency plans, and the construction and implementation of emergency response system.
Cooperation of all the members in a supply chain plays an important role in logistics service. The service integrator can encourage cooperation from service suppliers by sharing their cost during the service, which we assume can increase the sales by accumulating the reputation of the supply chain. A differential game model is established with the logistics service supply chain that consists of one service integrator and one supplier. And we derive the optimal solutions of the Nash equilibrium without cost sharing contract and the Stackelberg equilibrium with the integrator as the leader who partially shares the cost of the efforts of the supplier. The results make the benefits of the cost sharing contract in increasing the profits of both players as well as the whole supply chain explicit, which means that the cost sharing contract is an effective coordination mechanism in the long-term relationship of the members in a logistics service supply chain.
