Abstract

The present research explores cultural-historical activity theory as an approach to expand our current understandings of a knowledge-based view of value co-creation developments. Through the lens of cultural-historical activity theory, this study provides a framework explaining the view of knowing and learning as integral to the managerial practice of value co-creation. By means of an ethnographic case study strategy and using developmental work research tenets, the results of fieldwork describe how knowledge, learning and managing intertwine and transform supplier-customer interactions for co-creating value. Ultimately, this work proposes that value co-creation is a managerial journey of supplier-customer relations to the zone of proximal development through knowledge development of communicating in multi-voiced activity systems, learning the application of novel concepts, roles and relations, and managing multiple perspectives of value.
