“…At Cortina 2021, a clear organisational structure was established, with the Foundation formed by national and local public entities serving as an ad hoc organising committee. This entity was pivotal in fostering relationships and interactions among diverse stakeholders, aligning their expectations and ultimately facilitating value creation and co-creation processes (Qi et al, 2023). This structure mirrors experiences observed in events held in larger venues with extensive public participation, such as Expo 2015 or the 2012 Cultural Olympiad (Jones et al, 2022;Pera et al, 2016), but also smaller-scale events (Chang, 2020;Norman and Nyarko, 2021).…”

“…The study draws its theoretical foundations from institutional theory (Scott, 2014) and stakeholder theory (Freeman, 1984) since service ecosystems must align with stakeholder expectations and prevailing institutional pressures to access critical resources, attract investments, and ultimately facilitate value creation and co-creation processes (Qi et al, 2023). This study's findings offer valuable insights for stakeholder and ecosystem management, particularly during difficult times, as the Cortina ecosystem had to navigate and overcome the challenges posed by the COVID-19 pandemic to continue creating value.…”

PurposeThis paper looks at how stakeholders co-create value at mega-events from a service ecosystem perspective. Despite the growing interest, little is known about how value is co-created through such initiatives for individual stakeholders and the community.Design/methodology/approachDrawing on institutional and stakeholder theory, the study focuses on Cortina 2021, the World Ski Championships held in Italy in February 2021. It investigates how multiple actors co-create value within a service ecosystem through qualitative interviews with key stakeholders combined with the analysis of official documents and reports.FindingsThe research established that key stakeholders were willing to get involved with Cortina 2021 if they recognised the value which could be co-created. Such an ecosystem requires a focal organisation with a clear regulative and normative framework and a common cultural basis. The latter helped resilience in the extraordinary circumstances of Cortina 2021 and safeguarded long-term impacts, even though the expected short-term ones were compromised.Practical implicationsFrom a managerial point of view, the evidence from Cortina 2021 shows how a clear strategy with well-defined stakeholder engagement mechanisms can facilitate value co-creation in service ecosystems. Moreover, when regulative and normative elements are blurred because of an extraordinary circumstance, resource integration and value creation processes need to be entrusted to those cultural elements that characterise an ecosystem.Originality/valueThe study takes an ecosystemic approach to mega-events to explore value creation for the whole community at the macro level, not only at the individual or organisational level, even during a crisis, which greatly impaired the preparation and running of the event.
