The co-creative practice of forming a value proposition

Abstract Using practice theory and an empirical illustration of reciprocal exchange of knowledge between resource-integrating actors, this paper contributes to Service-Dominant Logic by deepening the understanding of the innate intricacies in a co-creative practice of forming a value proposition. A co-creative practice is conceptualised as reciprocal exchange of knowledge that is mediated by the practice-related script – understandings, procedures, and engagements – that each resource-integrating actor draws upon. The paper identifies and labels the activities of this exchange – applying, assessing, adapting, and adopting – using the literature on knowledge creation and management as a point of departure. A granular analysis is provided of how the script of each resource-integrating actor mediates the activities of reciprocal exchange of knowledge when forming a value proposition.

Functional identities, resource integrators and the service-dominant logic

The purpose of this paper is to initiate a discussion; to propose turning to the theoretical tradition of functionalism as a direction for future refinements of the service-dominant (S-D) logic; in ...

How Open Is Open Innovation? : Considering, adapting and adopting user knowledge and competence in the solution space

This chapter presents a longitudinal study of an open, co-created, innovation—ICA Student. It illustrates some of the challenges inherent in the consideration, adaptation and adoption of user knowledge and competence throughout an open innovation process, demonstrating the involvement of users both during the phases of content generation and commercialisation. Findings from the study illustrate five important issues for managers and practitioners to address when co-creating an innovation with future users: (1) the framing of an open innovation; (2) the identification of suitable participants; (3) the absorption and use of diverse inputs; (4) innovation entails both content generation and commercialisation and (5) the realisation that consideration, adaptation and adoption of knowledge and competence will affect the solution space. We conclude the chapter with a discussion on the relative openness of open innovation.
