Next practices?
Customer-facing business models in EMs

!  Pay-Per-Use
!  consumers pay lower costs for each use of a group-owned facility,
product, or service; limits impact on their cash flow while
customer volume makes it sufficiently attractive for suppliers.

!  Paraskilling
!  combines a No Frills model with disaggregating product into
simple standardized tasks that can be undertaken by consumers
without specialized qualification (the IKEA model?)

!  Shared Channels
!  reach into remote markets via piggybacking products and
services through existing customer supply chains, thus enabling
rural consumers gain access.

Next practices?
Supplier-facing business models in EMs

!  Contract Production
!  directly involve small-scale farmers or producers in rural supply
chains; organize supply chain, provide critical inputs,
specifications, training, and credit; supplier provides assured
quantities of specialty produce at fair and guaranteed prices.

!  Deep Procurement
!  bypass traditional middlemen, enable direct purchases from large
networks of smallholder producers, provide training for quality

!  Demand-Led Training
!  pay third-party to identify, train, and place employees for job
openings at the edges of the formal and informal sectors.

Marketing and Consumer behavior

Marketing as ‘facilitator’ and ‘structurer’ of mutual creation and enjoyment
of value

Customer is always a co-creator of value: there is no value until an

offering is used – experience and perception are essential to value
determination

Value embedded in customers’ practices; supplier’s motivation should be

to improve these practices – occupy a valuable role in cust. activities

Payne, Storbacka and Frow (2008)

Co-Creating Value
An idea yet to gain big currency in business world

!  Opposite to ‘restricting’ flow of info to consumers

!  Opposite to ‘appropriating’ value

!  Opposite to planning for the ‘lack of interactions’

!  Anchor-point of value creation: individuals, community

!  Requires roles of producing and consuming to blur

!  Many current variants without requisite commitment to

involve

!  Can we re-learn from ancient forums or marketplaces?

and community, and identify what’s really necessary for human
