“…To address the exploratory questions about collaboration amongst the midstream actors in the Smokefree intervention we adopted a qualitative approach to the research, as advocated by Gummesson (2005) and Fuhse and Mützel (2011). This approach enables exploration and description of networks, in particular when they have not been studied as networks before as it was the case for Smokefree (Fuhse and Mützel, 2011).…”

“…A qualitative approach is appropriate for understanding the processes and the meaning participants give to their context in value networks (Fuhse and Mützel, 2011). A qualitative approach also allows for a conceptualisation of networks as created and modified in social processes acknowledging the role of individuals and agency in shaping these networks (Fuhse and Mützel, 2011;Sewell, 1992).…”

“…The network perspective on value (Granovetter, 1973;1985;Gummesson, 2008) provides useful concepts for understanding value creation in a deeper relational context, in particular on the role of individual actors and their connections, social structures and the meaning actors give to these structures (Fuhse and Mützel, 2011). The network view contrasts to the previously dominant 'value chain' perspective on value-in-exchange in marketing which assumes that value is created in the supplier domain and transferred through exchange to customers (Sheth and Uslay, 2007).…”

“…Interaction processes are central to the creation of networks (Karpen, Bove and Lukas, 2012) as they facilitate the emergence, diffusion and reproduction of meaning amongst actors (Fuhse and Mützel, 2011). Interaction is also seen as central to social marketing efforts to inform, educate, incentivise, influence and support people to change behaviour (Peattie and Peattie, 2003).…”

The purpose of this study is to develop improved understanding of how value is created at the midstream (meso) level in a collaborative smokefree homes and cars social marketing programme. The study adopts a qualitative approach including interviews and observation.The findings show that the co-creative organisational model adopted for the Smokefree programme affords access to resources and capabilities of midstream actors and provides opportunities for reshaping and mobilising existing value networks. The focal organisation has a key role in coordinating, connecting actors and providing resources to facilitate value co-creation at the network level. The study illustrates that the service interaction allowed for customer centred cues for action which took into account their context and the existence/lack of resources for value creation. The implications of this study are discussed, in particular in terms of the role of focal organisations in managing value networks, the social context, configurational fit and resources of actors involved in community based social marketing and the need for policies and practices to provide health professionals with role support for health promotion.

Global trade in environmental goods (EGs) has provided a new vision for international cooperation in response to sustainable development goals (SDGs). However, there are ongoing debates over whether developing countries can achieve sustainability during their trade participation. This study proposes a conceptual framework to observe countries' current trade status and potential for benefit from global EG trade. By tracing the changing status of 142 countries in the conceptual framework during 2001–2019, this study finds that global EG trade reduces inequality among developed countries while it increases inequality among developing countries. Some emerging market countries may enhance their status in the global trade network, but their upgrading within the global value chain remains slow. The current poor EG trade state and limited benefit potential of most developing countries will have a non‐significant impact in terms of achieving the SDGs. The study suggests that regional trade will give developing countries a better chance to integrate into trade markets and support them toward achieving the SDGs.
