As I teach on co-creation at the Eindhoven University of Technology, I get a question once in a while which papers to read. Herewith a shortlist of papers we’re using in the Elective.
The concept co-creation started to emerge in marketing management literature buy means of C.K. Prahalad and V. Ramaswamy, though using a different term at that time:
Prahalad, C. K., & Ramaswamy, V. (2000). Co-opting Customer Competence. Harvard Business Review.
A good start with reading is:
Prahalad, C. K., & Ramaswamy, V. (2004). Co-creation experiences: The next practice in value creation.
and of course the book:
Prahalad, C. K., & Ramaswamy, V. (2004). The future of competition: co-creating unique value with customers. Boston, Mass.: Harvard Business School Pub.
furthermore we discuss:
