Co Creating Value

This book represents an applied, up-to-date work on RRI developments and their potential positive impact on societies. The societal challenges of the 21st century require the ability to integrate the knowledge and expertise of different societal actors, using more innovative, efficient and open approaches. Educational methodologies are in perpetual development in their attempt to provide tentative answers to three ever-changing digital age challenges: the challenge of speed, the challenge of form/at and the challenge of persistency. The current book aims to address these issues by presenting relevant case studies in the field of art, science and giving value to territory that, by the means of projects and initiatives using RRI consistent methodologies, have succeeded in their attempt to: preserve and valorise cultural heritage by using digital storytelling or crowddreaming methodology, develop educational strategies grounded on RRI and Open Schooling principles, contribute to new ways of thinking in the school environment by using RRI and promote gender equality and stimulate critical reflections on women’s role in science by the means of storytelling and RRI concepts.

This book investigates value co-creation processes within the context of circular entrepreneurship. By rooting the book in value co-creation theory, the author addresses the following research questions: How do value co-creation processes impact organizations? And how could circular firms gain legitimacy through value co-creation processes? Through an empirical study based on interviews with circular entrepreneurs and focus groups involving both entrepreneurs and a sample of co-creating customers, the author offers an empirical framework of value co-creation processes and resulting organizational changes.
