Social media is used in value co-creation to allow consumers to take an active role and co-create value for companies. However, the way in which social media can enhance an enterprise’s value co-creation capability has not been studied to the same extent. Based on the technology affordance theory and value co-creation theory, this study examines how social media can help to leverage value co-creation. We present an exploratory case study based on the qualitative date collected in an online travel service company. We find that the case company applies social media due to its dialogue, accessibility, monitorability, and transparency affordances, which aid cooperation and co-create value with customers. The findings of the investigation provide empirical evidence illustrating the social media affordances of value co-creation

It is a very visible part of waste management to a normal citizen. To perform waste management properly, good indicators of performance and process efficiency are needed. In this article, we extract 33 indicators, basic, extended and supplementary for municipal solid waste management based on literature and a survey among 28 waste management companies. Our conclusion is that while reporting needs for different stakeholders are very different, they can be satisfied with the basic indicators and combinations of them. A vision also emerged: waste flow monitoring should be as fluent as the monitoring of water and electricity consumption in properties.

This study proposes that the benefits of using smoking cessation online health community consists of informational benefit, emotional benefit, and companionship, which have positive effects on users’ continuance intention to use smoking cessation online health communities, whereas the cost is composed of time and efforts as well as privacy concern, which exert a negative impact on smokers’ continuance intention. In addition, some factors are set as moderators in the proposed research model to explore the different roles of benefits and costs in shaping continuance intention among different user groups.
