Defining the antecedents of experience co-creation as applied to alternative consumption models

Abstract

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to propose a conceptual framework of experience co-creation that captures the multi-dimensionality of this construct, as well as a research process for defining of the antecedents of experience co-creation. Design/methodology/approach The framework of experience co-creation was conceptualized by means of a literature review. Subsequently, this framework was used as the conceptual basis for a qualitative content analysis of 66 empirical papers investigating alternative consumption models (ACMs), such as renting, remanufacturing, and second-hand models. Findings The qualitative content analysis resulted in 12 categories related to the consumer and 9 related to the ACM offerings that represent the antecedents of experience co-creation. These categories provide evidence that, to a large extent, the developed conceptual framework allows one to capture the multi-dimensionality of the experience co-creation construct. Research limitations/implications This study underscores the understanding of experience co-creation as a function of the characteristics of the offering – which are, in turn, a function of the consumers’ motives as determined by their lifeworlds – as well as to service design as an iterative approach to finding, creating and refining service offerings. Practical implications The investigation of the antecedents of experience co-creation can enable service providers to determine significant consumer market conditions for forecasting the suitability and viability of their offerings and to adjust their service designs accordingly. Originality/value This paper provides a step toward the operationalization of the dimension-related experience co-creation construct and presents an approach to defining the antecedents of experience co-creation by considering different research perspectives that can enhance service design research.

Sharing Economy Service Experience and Its Effects on Behavioral Intention

“…In this study, the dramaturgical theory evaluates the effects of sharing service experience on the customers' experiential values. We extend the knowledge that has recently been generated by the research in the areas of service experience [16,36,37] and experiences created through interactions between actors [133][134][135]. The theoretical significance of this analysis lies in bringing together state-of-the art research on service experience in the sharing economy and analyzing its future potential and directions for research.…”

Assessing Consumers’ Co‐production and Future Participation On Value Co‐creation and Business Benefit: an F-P-C-B Model Perspective

“…Different studies have highlighted that the concept of coproduction comprises of (indirect or direct) "co-working with customers" (France et al 2018;Jaspers and Steen 2019) or active involvement of the customers in the service or product design process (Schallehn et al 2019). Co-production may be conceptualised through the interactions of the customers by the acts of mental and physical activities and mutual exchange Busser and Shulga 2019;Grover et al 2020).…”
