    Lecture Notes - Lecture 1

    • Scientific contribution: A gap in the literature exists, with inconsistencies among studies. Challenges arise from social developments and business practices, requiring further understanding.
    • Social science: Focuses on human behaviors, encompassing various fields like psychology, sociology, economics, and management/marketing. Social sciences often lack precise "universal" answers.
    • Scientific research method: Includes a body of scientific laws and theories explaining phenomena, drawing on logic and empirical evidence. Data collection and interpretation is systematic.
    • Research paper structure: Features an abstract, introduction, theory/conceptual framework, research design, results, discussion, conclusions and limitations, and future avenues.
    • Research paper elements: Addressing significance, novelty, curiosity, scope, and actionability.

    Lecture Notes - Lecture 2

    • Value-in-use: Providing utility or solving a problem, context-dependent and subjectively perceived by the customer.
    • Value co-creation: Complex and dynamic process, involving dealing with uncertainty and highlighting subjectivity, complexity, and chaos.
    • Value co-creation aims: Firms and individuals must strategically manage value co-creation, especially in entrepreneurial and innovative settings.
    • Managing value co-creation: Agile and Design Thinking are iterative approaches emphasizing incremental development, human-centered problem solving, encompassing empathy, creativity, iteration, and project management frameworks like scrum (for software development) and lean startup (for business model innovation).

    Lecture Notes - Lecture 3

    • Elements of a theory: Concepts, constructs, and variables, as well as their relationship and boundaries. Commonalities exist in marketing journals in terms of sections used such as theory development, theoretical/conceptual framework, and literature review. Different types of variables are crucial, for instance, independent and dependent variables.
