Discovery, Analysis, and Integration with Customers to Co-design Service Value

This seminar exploits the convergence of two important streams of research and practice in marketing and IS, potentially enabling the tremendous value creation for customers and the firm.

There is a recognition in marketing that it is better to conceive of products and services as services, where customers and the firm co-create value through their mutual behavior. In other words, services are not produced, but co-created. Customers and the firms can optimize value by co-designing the services. In information systems, more and more systems are developed for customers outside the organization, e.g., consumers. These external customers represent challenges for traditional systems analysis methodology in understanding what functionality and features will create the most value for them.

We have begun the development of a new stream of applicable research that combines these two streams to develop and implement techniques and methods to support the participation of the firm and (potential) customers in discovery, analysis, and integration co-design activities, to maximize the potential value of systems, applications, and services to the customer.
