Philips is an interesting example

Philips is an interesting example to choose for this particular discussion week. Thank you for sharing the case with the teakettle. I would like to get your perspective on another product segment of Philips, namely TV’s.

Please find the information below for week 1 paperwork. The dominant paradigm in marketing for the past decade has been service-dominant logic (SDL), the idea that organisations and consumers co-create value in an ongoing process with various points of interaction. In this week’s collaboration, you will reflect on and evaluate your own experiences with the co-creation of value, for example, personalised interactions where both you and the organisation benefitted from the exchange. To prepare for this Collaboration: Review service-dominant logic (SDL) in your notes and readings and think about situations in which you engaged in the co-creation of value. To complete this Collaboration: By Saturday (3 June 2017) For your Initial Response, in 300–500 words, address the following: Use service-dominant logic (SDL) to describe a situation in which you engaged in co-creation of value. What strategies could the marketer have used to enhance this experience for you? How would these strategies have improved your experience? As we move into Week 1 and a discussion of service dominant logic (SDL) , I thought that the following video presented by one of the co-authors of the concept, Robert Lusch, would provide each member of the class with some added perspectives to complement your readings this week Robert F.

Institution:

Introduction

On the other hand, co-creations of values involves a win-win strategy where both the parties gain or benefits due to a particular undertaking. In the case of a relationship between a customer and a company, a customer is always a co-creator. This is paper focuses on
