The Use of Goal Modelling for the Analysis of Value Co-Creation in Collaborative Networks

Abstract

International audienceCollaborative networks engage their members in sharing resources, competencies and responsibilities in order to attain advanced results or common goals. This paper studiesthe relationship between thesetwo key concepts in collaborative networks, goals and collaborative value creation.Goal achievement can be seen as a value creation behavior and as a value co-creationprocedure since it is based on the collaboration and the interdependencies between actors. Therefore, goal modelling can be used for the analysis of value co-creation in collaborative settings. The paper develops a goal meta-model that describes the key concepts of value co-creation. The proposed goal meta-model can serve to the better understanding of the value creation process, the analysis of value co-creation inreal-world cases and the design and implementation of digital systems that enable value co-creation
