The latest research in service management are developing sustainable supply chain, carbon proof supply chain, water proof supply chain, optimization of health care services and credit risk management etc.
If your defintion of service management includes customer services, then you can include emotions in service encounters. As for supply chain, you could include sustainable supply chains, as the previous respondent has identified. To that you could include green logistics, reverse logistics and disaster or emergency supply chains, which does incorporate the elements of responsiveness, flexibility, cost, quality and of course speed. That said, research is not very extensive and could benefit from much more.

Hi Orakzai,
If your service & operation management is in the context of IT as specified in your note e.g. IT Service Management (ITSM) or IT Operation Management (ITOM) which are ITIL related, then I observed 2 changes shaping ITSM & ITOM which have impacted some of their processes:
1. the introduction of cloud in IT organizations (both IT end users & IT service providers) is changing ITSM & ITOM processes that were being executed traditionally because some cloud features like instant provisioning / de-provisioning, elasticity, on demand resourcing, usage chargeback / showback etc. has transformed the ways traditional processes are run as well as the tools are used
2. due to newer software development approach like agile / continuous delivery / DevOps that demanding rapid pace of apps change has changed the way typical software development team interacting with IT Infrastructure / Operation teams
