In der vorliegenden Dissertation geht es um die Vorstellung der verschiedenen Partizipationsebenen sowie der Komponenten eines Dienstleistungssystems als Co-Creation System. Auf dieser Basis wird eine digitale kollaborative Bürgerbeteiligungsplattform zur Co-Creation von bürgerinitiierten Dienstleistungen im öffentlichen Sektor designt und evaluiert. Weiterhin findet das Design und die Evaluation einer digitalen kollaborativen Lern- und Qualifizierungsplattform zur Co-Creation von situiertem arbeitsprozessbezogenem Lernmaterial im privaten Sektor statt. Schließlich werden geeignete Dienstleistungsmessmodelle zur Qualitätsbestimmung erarbeitet. Dabei trägt die Dissertation mit dem systematischen Co-Creation Einreichungsprozess durch die Anwendung von strukturellem Empowerment zur Unter stützung des Einzelnen bei. Die aus einem Top-down und Bottom-up Ansatz kombinierte Co-Creation Plattform stellt eine Theorie der Gestaltung und des Handelns dar. Zusätzlich werden konkrete Designprinzipien zur Entwicklung des Co Creation Systems bereitgestellt.
