Abstract: Abstract In this chapter, I will present a theoretical framework for the concept of acquiring a competitive edge through co-creationCo-creation . As I mentioned in the first chapter, existing theories relating to competitive advantageCompetitive advantage are structured on the assumption of corporate competition, and the competitive environment has come to be perceived as conferring a competitive advantage. In this regard, the author takes the position that corporate “co-creation” confers a competitive edge. Put another way, this is a story of creating value among multiple companies through co-creation that a company operating independently would be unable to produce, and going on to build a new competitive advantage.
