Abstract

We develop a conceptual framework that examines the behavior of the solutions-oriented-firm from initial solutions generation, through the “sale” and delivery to an initial customer, and its potential dissemination to the broader marketplace as a more standardized product/service offering. Particular attention is paid to the emerging discussion of value co-creation and Service-Dominant logic. Key tenets of the Austrian School of Economics are leveraged to identify how the selling firm, sales employee, and buying firm co-create value, and the “solution” itself. Thus, providing a deeper understanding of the “end-to-end” value chain of activities and drivers of firm performance.
