“…Netnography was used with the filmic content and to evaluate the online, social nature of let’s play s (Kozinets, 2015) in conjunction with semi-structured interviews (McCracken, 1988; Newton, 2010). Research drew on the prior experience and established access of one of the authors within the community as a participant observer of the focal phenomenon (Arneson, 2009; Schwandt, 1999). Access with this community is notoriously difficult, and hence the experience of one of the researchers was critical in generating data for this study.…”

Let's play is a globally significant phenomenon in creative online content generation that has evolved from gaming culture. Little is understood about the behavior and motivations of community participants to generate creative content or the values they associate with their creative work. This research explores the processes let's play players engage in to transform and extract value from content generation, and the roles of firms in its development. Drawing on Bourdieu's (1989) frames of capital, this research identifies four types of value (social, cultural, economic and symbolic) and examines the processes for content creation and sharing. Findings identify a complex interplay between the forms of value together with the paramount aim of creating symbolic value for delayed economic gain. This has implications for how firms involved in developing partnership propositions (such as platforms, game asset producers, games publishers) develop and extract future economic value.

“…Philosophically, Holbrook's typology is based on the "theory of value" known as axiology. Axiology is a branch of philosophy that contemplates the nature of value and considers what "things" have value (Arneson, 2009). Often referred to as the "science of values", axiology sits alongside "metaphysics" (inquiry into existence) and "epistemology" (knowledge) and is, thus, considered one of the three most general philosophical sciences (Bahm, 1993).…”

“…Grü nberg (2000) argues that in modern society axiology is a term that best designates a general theory of value. In this sense, axiology is broadly concerned with all forms of value including the aesthetic value of beauty, the ethical value of good/bad and right/wrong and the epistemic value of truth, rationality and justification (Arneson, 2009;Hiles, 2008). Value types including "truth, utility, goodness, beauty, right conduct, and obligation", with a "direct focus on the purported value of matters such as human life, knowledge, wisdom, freedom, love, justice, self-fulfilment, and well-being" (Hiles, 2008, p. 2) are all covered within axiology.…”

Purpose This paper aims to explore consumer experiences of spiritual value and investigates whether it is distinct from ethical value within a large and growing private sector health-care setting. Understanding consumers’ experiences of spiritual value versus ethical value has important implications for corporate social responsibility as increasingly, consumers want their spiritual needs met. Design/methodology/approach The research adopts an exploratory case study approach using in-depth interviews with 16 consumers who use complementary and alternative medicine health-care services. Drawing on consumer value frameworks, a thematic analysis identified dimensions of spiritual and ethical values co-created during their consumption experiences. Findings From a consumer’s perspective, spiritual value is distinct from ethical value. The key finding is that participants talked about spiritual value predominantly in reactive terms (apprehending, appreciating, admiring or responding), whereas ethical value was referred to as active (taking action). Research limitations/implications This paper enhances the understanding of spiritual value and provides evidence that people want their spiritual needs met in a private health-care context. Furthermore, this study provides insights into the consumption experience of spiritual value that can be considered, with further research, in other health-care and service contexts. Originality/value This paper offers a new view on corporate social responsibility by taking a consumer’s perspective, and identifying that consumer experiences of spiritual value are important and distinct from ethical value.
