Zusammenfassung der Kapitel (Chapter Summaries)
Co-Creation of Value: This chapter explores the evolving definition of co-creation, moving from a firm-centric view to one that emphasizes consumer experience. It contrasts traditional market models with the new paradigm of co-creation, highlighting the importance of both firm-consumer interaction for value creation and consumer experience. The chapter then delves into internal co-creation within organizations, emphasizing the need for employee and stakeholder involvement to generate value and improve customer experiences. Examples such as Wikipedia's collaborative model and a European bank's initiative to engage junior advisors are used to illustrate how internal co-creation can foster innovation and enhance employee engagement. The chapter underscores that stakeholder participation hinges on creating value for all involved, advocating for a holistic approach that prioritizes the experience of all stakeholders, not just customers.

It highlights the challenge of balancing internal organizational needs ("internal see") with external customer requirements ("external sell"), emphasizing the need for strategic decision-making regarding customer involvement and collaboration. The chapter also stresses the importance of structural elements such as operational design, infrastructure, hierarchy, and relationships with suppliers and partners in shaping a successful value co-creation strategy. The discussion includes considerations of sourcing, production, and delivery capabilities, ultimately arguing that a robust business model must clearly define the content, structure, and governance of transactions designed to create value by exploiting business opportunities. The chapter concludes by illustrating different models of customer interaction (product-centric, customer-centric, and symbiotic), highlighting the varying degrees of customer interface and emphasizing the advantages of symbiotic relationships for achieving mutual success.
