Abstract

Public services and public-private (hybrid) services are facing demand of rapid changes all over the Europe. Nordic countries are one step ahead in the process of co-creation of service innovations. Service co-creation is complex phenomenon and therefore it deserves to be studied in interdisciplinary academic coalitions. There are social-historical-economic aspects influencing the co-creation of services in different ecosystems. There are also opportunities to utilize crowd thinking, crowd intelligence and special interest groups in social media for example in the service co-creation in contemporary era of digitalization.
