As digitalization and social media are increasingly blurring the
boundaries between traditional societal, political, and economic
institutions, this book provides a cross-disciplinary examination
of value co-creation. From various standpoints, it examines how
institutions contribute to service ecosystems and how
digitalization is transforming value co-creation in these
ecosystems. Further, the book shares new perspectives on relational
dynamics among government, companies, and citizens. These insights
fill the gaps between service science and political science by
integrating institutional logics into the concept of value
co-creation. The book subsequently examines society as an
interaction space. Topics discussed include the new logic and
transformation mechanisms of economic activities, citizen
participation, governance, and policy-making in the face of
technological innovations, market-based reforms, and the risk of
disconnect between citizens and policy-making. Here the focus is on
value co-creation in complex adaptive systems where institutions,
individuals, and businesses negotiate value and interests in
networked relations. In closing, the book presents a range of
empirical case studies on value co-creation, which provide examples
of active networked citizenship, innovative governance and
policy-making, democratic leadership, and trust-building dialogue
among institutions. The studies address the context of Nordic
countries, recognized as world-leading democracies. Pursuing a
systems approach, the book articulates a social reality composed of
interacting and interconnected elements that cannot be captured
with only micro or macro levels of analysis. Service ecosystems are
considered as configurations of people and technologies embedded in
institutionalized rules, cultural meanings, and practices, offering
valuable insights into the service-centered view of markets and
society. Given the breadth and depth of its coverage, the book
offers a valuable resource for all students and scholars interested
in understanding and envisioning the future democratic landscape.
This book demonstrates to managers the strategic significance of
intra-organizational social networks. It argues that strategic
management is embedded in the complexity of social relations that
shape the strategic direction of a company. Currently there are few
tools available to systematically collect information about the
social functioning of an organization. This book fills this gap by
shifting attention to the social relations that contribute to
strategic advantage and that build on relationships that provide
unique resources and create value for the business. It considers
three perspectives on how social networks have a strategic
function: first, social networks constitute everyday strategic
action; second, social networks convey cultural meanings; and
third, how social networks depict social processes that continually
illustrate what the organization is and what it can become. The
book shows top and upper-middle management how cultivating an
understanding of intra-firm social relations can help them to build
unique strategic advantage and make use of the day-to-day knowledge
that emerges in the social connections and interactions within an
organization.
