Abstract

While both service organisations and consumers can co-create value they canalso co-destroy value. This paper explores the concept of co-destruction of valuethrough the use of case studies from personal retail banking and illustrates suchco-destruction through examples of irresponsible borrowing and irresponsiblelending. A conceptual model is proposed which captures the dyadic relationshipbetween banker and customer and highlights where potential for co-destructionof value can be found with respect to the orientations of bank and customerManagerial implications are discussed.
