Abstract

Existing work on value creation has focused separately on either firm or customer. Theoryneeds to focus on the convergence of firm and customer and in this context we argue thatthree key players; managers, employees, and customers are critical parties in the valuecreation process in services. The role of each of these parties is the focus of the theorydeveloped in this study. We bring the firm and customer together and examine the nature of afirm's value proposition, its contribution to the firm's value offering, and subsequent impacton customers' perceived-value-in-use which is set within the domain of each of the keyplayers. Critically, the service firm's ability to create and deliver superior value underpins itsfinancial, sales, and customer oriented performance outcomes.
