Abstract
Value co-destruction prevails in collaborative R&D projects. Therefore, the identification of how value is destructed during the collaboration are important lessons learned for practitioners. The aim of this chapter is to investigate value co-destruction phenomenon in collaborative R&D projects in China and demystify the underlying paradigms by unpacking the value co-destruction processes. A comparative case study approach was chosen to explore the value co-destruction processes and paradigms. We identified three primary dimensions of value co-destruction processes, each with sub-dimensions distinguishing two types of value co-destruction paradigms. The three dimensions are Co-destruction motivation, In-process behaviours, and Outcomes of co-destruction. The paradigms are direct intention and indirect intention. The theoretical and practical implications are discussed.
