The Marketing Firm and Co-creation: The Case of Co-creation by LEGO™
摘要
This chapter discusses the marketer and customer’s co-creation process within the context of bilateral contingencies. Bilateral contingencies occur when the marketers’ behaviour is reinforced (and/or punished) by the customers’ behaviour, while the behaviour of the customers is reinforced (and/or punished) by the marketers’ actions. Using the example of the LEGO community, we discuss how the marketers in the organisation can respond to behaviours resulting from co-creational customer-customer exchanges. This chapter fills the knowledge gap by presenting a behaviour analysis framework (TMF) for the empirical measurement of the co-creation process.
