Value Creation is a process through which organizations, individuals, or systems generate meaningful benefits for stakeholders—particularly beneficiaries, including customers, users, and partners.
This presentation outlines the Service-Dominant-Logic (SDL) framework, which moves beyond the traditional Goods-Dominant Logic (GDL). GDL places tangible products at the center of economic exchange. SDL, in contrast, asserts that service—the application of competencies for the benefit of another—is the fundamental basis of all exchange.
SDL shifts the conversation from goods and transactions to service, relationships, and systems.
The SDL framework is built on 11 evolving Foundational Premises (FPs). Among these, 5 have been elevated to the status of Axioms, forming the core structure of the model:
1. (Axiom 1) Service is the fundamental basis of exchange
2. Indirect exchange masks the fundamental basis of exchange
3. Goods are distribution mechanisms for service provision
4. Operant resources are the fundamental source of strategic benefit
5. All economies are service economies
6. (Axiom 2) Value is co-created by multiple actors, always including the beneficiary
7. Actors cannot deliver value but can participate in the creation and offering of value propositions
8. The service-centered view is inherently beneficiary oriented and relational
9. (Axiom 3) All social and economic actors are resource integrators
10. (Axiom 4) Value is always uniquely and phenomenologically determined by the beneficiary
11. (Axiom 5) Value co-creation is coordinated through actor-generated institutions and institutional arrangements
Each of these premises is discussed in depth, including key concepts and examples.
