Introduction: In the people-oriented fitness industry, intelligent technology such as artificial intelligence, automated service counters, wearable technology and big data analysis, has been widely introduced. This study first examined research on the application of intelligent technology in the service industry, and explored the research themes that was published in the past ten years. Second, from the perspective of customer management, we examined the applicability of intelligent technology in the sports and fitness industry and the balance between technology and humanity. Methods: First, we performed a systematic literature review method to search and collect international journal articles related to the application of intelligent technology in the service industry that were published in the past 10 years. Second, we used the multicase study method to explore the perceptions of technology from technology-related companies and operators of sport centers. Results: The research initially included 723 journal articles, and after deletion, 56 journal articles were analyzed. We used years, industries, technology applications, theories and research methods as the basic analysis framework. The included literature themes could be classified into three categories: customer management, operation management, and human resource management. Moreover, it was found that the customer management theme was the most popular. Therefore, the multicase study conducted interviews with seven operators in the sports industry with semistructured interviews, and triangulation and peer inspection were performed to check the reliability of the study. Conclusion: In the past ten years, the literature about the application of intelligent technology in the service industry was mostly based on customers. Discussion of the technology acceptance level, followed by operation management and human resource-related topics, has attracted the attention of scholars, followed by the operation management and human resources related topics. The sports and fitness industry emphasizes the interaction and communication among people. In addition to understand the influence factor for technology acceptance, it is necessary to pay attention to the needs of human nature and achieve a balance between technology and humanity. |
