Demonstrating differences
Using the theory of the marketing firm, two articles discuss how marketers in an organization can respond to behaviors resulting from co‐creational customer–customer exchanges. These two papers examine marketer and customer co‐creation processes within the context of bilateral contingencies. The studies are published in Managerial and Decision Economics; 1 and 2.
This study explores social business processes to enhance co-creation in the service industry. A case study of a Norwegian banking and finance company shows how they successfully co-create value with users through a co-creation lab. Since launching, the lab has contributed to the development of several new online products and services. Although the lab has a small but stable user base, findings suggest that even more value could be created. This could be through increased interaction from the company and the introduction of a user incentive program. The full study is published at the 2018 IEEE International Conference on Industrial Engineering and Engineering Management (IEEM).
