This study adopts the concept of service ecosystem and value co-creation to explore in a macro perspective the ways value co-creation activities have shaped a holistic care system in a long-term care agency that has a rather complex organizational structure. It further investigates how a strong value proposition along with vigorous value co-creation activities have been leveraged to attract and guide participation of different stakeholders in the process of creating a service ecosystem that is both coherent and scalable. Based on analyses of the qualitative case study of the Day Care Center of Douliu Changtai Senior Citizens' School, findings of the research indicate that the ecosystem is shaped and developed through three stages: identifying value proposition, inner-center level and community level. Value proposition and value co-creation play distinctive roles in different stages and are important organizing principles for attracting stakeholders' participation and sharing resources. In the process, the leader (CEO of Douliu Changtai Senior Citizens' School) adopted a value co-creation perspective to considering specific systems to be used for providing common guidelines for all participating actors. As benefits were gradually captured over time through the process of sharing resources and exchanging services, a stable service ecosystem has been formed as result. Finally, impacts of this system could be further expanded as more actors were attracted by diversified and intense activities of value co-creation, eventually leading to a greater value of the entire service ecosystem. |
