Slides for my master thesis presentation. The study showed that regardless of the level of market concentration, co-creation as a positioning strategy was always superior to the traditional value creation mode. The results also provided evidence for the stability of the preference for co-creation across different levels of perceived freedom of choice. Furthermore, the effectiveness of co-creation as a positioning strategy has been unaffected by the ratings of product performance attributes, such as innovativeness and reliability, adding more weight to the argument about this strategy’s strength.
