Abstract [en]

Purpose - The purpose of this paper is to contribute a framework that explains how value is formed during the usage of immersive technologies in industrial contexts.

Design/methodology/approach - Drawing on activity theory and a customer-dominant logic, the authors tentatively develop an activity-centric framework for value formation enabled by physical and mental activities conducted by users of immersive technologies. The authors evaluate the framework through a case study focusing on the use of virtual reality (VR) in an industrial setting.

Findings - The findings from the case study illustrate the tentative framework and specify how it is enacted by users in the studied context through three physical activities constituted by a set of actions and reflected in five emotional responses.

Research limitations/implications - Both researchers and practitioners may use the framework presented in this paper as a guide for further academic and practical developments concerning the value of immersive technologies such as VR and augmented reality.

Originality/value - The activity-centric framework contributes a novel perspective to the literature on value formation enabled by immersive technologies.

Abstract [en]

While many emerging technologies are making significant strides in the marketplace, others are developing at a slower pace. Historical experience has shown that their success can vary widely, from outright failure to becoming indispensable to daily life. The creation of value associated with emerging technologies has become a focal point for CEOs, business leaders, policymakers, and global forums such as the World Economic Forum. They actively explore opportunities for value creation using these technologies. Yet, the value of emerging technologies often remains uncertain since their adoption in new contexts and usage may deviate significantly from providers' intended use cases. The commercialization of emerging technologies presents a profound challenge due to the uncertain value and complex landscape of innovation.

This thesis aims to investigate the processes that help unpack the value of emerging technologies to customers in a B2B context, with a focus on processes that recognize the evolving, dynamic nature of value. The thesis contends that co - creation processes help customers in unpacking the value of emerging technologies. Given the constantly evolving nature of emerging technologies, it is important to adopt a comprehensive perspective in order to fully comprehend their complex nature. In order to address the challenges presented by the uncertain value of emerging technologies in B2B settings, this thesis proposes a framework that focuses on three co-creation processes - experimentation, communication, and knowledge brokering - that may assist customers in unpacking the value of emerging technologies for their businesses. Finally, the thesis concludes with a discussion of its contributions, both theoretical and practical implications, and recommendations for further research.
