Valor e a experiência

"we adopt a phenomenological perspective and conceptualize ‘‘value in the experience’’ as individual service customers’ lived experiences of value that extend beyond the current context of service use to also include past and future experiences and service customers’ broader lifeworld contexts.
Within this view, ‘‘value resides not in the object of consumption, but in the experience of consumption’’. Similar to other conceptualizations, value in the experience is a subjective phenomenon.
...
value stems from service customers’ learned perceptions and preferences based on evaluations of the probable and resulting consequences in certain situations. In contemporary service marketing and management discourse, customer value is no longer ‘‘objectified’’ and reduced to that which is produced or processed for customers; rather, customer value is now considered a phenomenon that relates to customer experience and value-in-use.
...
Value in the experience is individually intrasubjective and socially intersubjective.
...
Value in the experience can be both lived and imaginary.
...
Value in the experience is constructed based on previous, current, and imaginary future experiences and is temporal in nature.
...
Value in the experience emerges from individually determined social contexts.
...
customer value is viewed as being ‘‘ . . . idiosyncratic, experiential, contextual, and meaning-laden . . . ’’. Service customers are always, consciously and unconsciously, accessing and modifying, their ‘‘stock of knowledge’’ of their individual and collective ‘‘lifeworlds.’’
Value in the experience is determined by the individual service customer’s context and is constantly changing and will very much depend on the particular service customer’s specific interest and personal lifeworld context. The contexts in which service customers experience value do not necessarily equate with the service contexts offered or proposed by the service organization."
