Identifying Factors of Co-Creation of Value and Brand Effectiveness of Knowledge-based Companies in the Field of Health
Abstract
Background: Knowledge-based companies are private or cooperative companies that aim to enhance the synergy of science and wealth, promote knowledge-based economy, and achieve scientific and economic goals.
Methods: The present study is an applied research with a cross-sectional perspective, utilizing a qualitative and exploratory approach. The grounded theory method, specifically the Glaserian approach, is employed for data analysis. Semi-structured and in-depth interviews were conducted until theoretical saturation was achieved. The collected data was transcribed and imported into the MAXQDA software for analysis.
Results: After conducting the interviews, various theories within similar conceptual groups were identified and open-coded. The interviews were transcribed in docx format and analyzed line-by-line. Codes were assigned to relevant sections of the interviews, leading to the formulation of models and insights.
