Collaborative Value Co-creation from a Stakeholder Perspective: A Literature Review

Abstract

Since the value co-creation (VCC) concept was introduced as an alternative to the traditional value creation model, VCC has been studied in various contexts. The literature has mostly focused on a specific research context or a specific type of stakeholder group, leaving a comprehensive view of the stakeholders’ value elements in VCC poorly understood. To address this research gap, we conducted a systematic literature review to provide an overview of the conceptualization of VCC as well as stakeholders’ expected and realized value through collaboration. In accordance with the literature review, six value dimensions (economic, experiential, functional, relational, personal growth and corporate sustainability) are identified. On the basis of the findings of our literature review, we identify gaps in the literature and suggest an agenda for future research.
