Cocreated brand value: theoretical model and propositions

Though ample studies address the cocreation process, scholarly understanding of the outcome of such cocreative processes (i.e. cocreated value) lags behind, particularly with respect to brand-related cocreated value. Based on this gap, we explore S-D logic-informed customer cocreated brand value (CCBV), which reflects a customer’s assessment of the value derived from interactive, joint, or collaborative activities for or with brand-related actors. We also develop a model that identifies the CCBV antecedents of resource integration—which generates resource personalisation and institutionalisation—engagement, and sharing that combine to yield CCBV. In turn, CCBV generates modified tie-strength and modified network cohesion. Drawing on the model, we develop a set of propositions that consolidate CCBV-based insight, followed by an overview of implications that arise from our analyses.
