These concepts are related to the co-creation of value within and between firms and the dynamics of value creation from both a strategic and operational point of view. Its central themes are strategizing in a turbulent environment, value strategies,  strategic planning, segmenting, targeting, and (re) positioning from a value-in-use perspective in both B-to-B and B-to-C business environments, developing and maintaining strategic business relationships and, finally, the marketing of innovative products and services.
