This document discusses networking and e-commerce issues for small and medium tourism enterprises (SMTEs) in regional Australia.

This paper provides a conceptual framework for companies to implement co-creation activities in a permanent and sustainable way. It introduces a programmatic approach that considers co-creation as a strategic program rather than just outsourcing tasks. This involves continuous collaboration with users, internal and external innovation cycles, and adapting processes, tools, and organizational culture. The paper also uses BMW Group's Co-Creation Lab as an example that addresses all dimensions of the programmatic approach to illustrate how it has been applied in the automotive industry.

This document discusses research on customer value and internet shopping services. It makes three key points:
1. Previous studies on customer value have limitations and do not fully capture customers' subjective experiences or the social context of value.
2. Customer behavior models for online shopping need further development to account for differences across age groups, product types, and shopping experiences.
3. Interface design can help reduce consumers' mental workload during online shopping, but more research is needed on supporting interfaces for different consumer groups.
The document reviews literature on customer value theory and behavior models for online shopping. It identifies gaps in understanding customers' subjective perspectives and differences across social groups. It also discusses a study on how interface design can help
