Technology giant IBM on Monday said it has partnered B-school Indian School of Business (ISB) for research in service science. IBM and ISB have been working closely on service science research for the last few years and this collaboratory marks the beginning of a new phase of an expanded relationship between the two organisations, IBM said in a statement.

The IBM Collaboratory is a laboratory where IBM researchers co-locate with a university, government, or commercial partner to share skills, assets, and resources to achieve a common research goal, it added.
