This study has been conducted using the online marketing research technique called netnography \u2013 a qualitative and interpretive methodology for the study of users in the virtual space. As the virtual medium presents a good medium for organization-consumer, bi-directional dialogue, companies can use the online arena for soliciting consumer views for their products, promotion mechanisms etc., hence, making these ideal tools to enable consumer participation in the co-creation strategies of organizations. Co-creation involves the consumers' participation in the creation of the core offering itself. It can occur through shared inventiveness, co-design or shared production of related goods, and can occur with customers and any other partners in the value network (R. Bolton, &amp; S. Saxena-Iyer, 2009). Co-creation occurs when the customer participates through spontaneous, discretionary behaviors that uniquely customize the service experience (beyond the selection of pre-determined options). This was done by exploratory research on consumers' behavior in the online community \u201cMy Starbucks Idea\u201d, with respect to updates and responses from Starbucks and their behavior with respect to feedback and suggestions from consumers. Ideas include fresh ideas given by other consumers to Starbucks through posts and the ideas which have been implemented recently in the stores that are updated by Starbucks' employees. Starbucks behavior was seen in terms of the ratio of volume of suggestion posts by consumers and volume of ideas adopted by Starbucks. \u201cMy Starbucks Idea\u201d involves the psychological aspects of consumer behavior which are utilized by Starbucks because the ratio of volume of suggestion posts by consumers and the volume of ideas adopted by Starbucks is remarkably high. Another reason of participation of the consumers is the social connection; it is supported by the higher volume of posts observed.<\/p>","DOI":"10.4018\/ijom.2014010104","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2014,7,2]],"date-time":"2014-07-02T17:36:52Z","timestamp":1404322612000},"page":"39-51","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":7,"title":["A Study of Online Co-Creation Strategies of Starbucks Using Netnography"],"prefix":"10.4018","volume":"4","author":[{"given":"Preetika","family":"Sindhwani","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Jaypee Business School, Jaypee Institute of Information Technology, Uttar Pradesh, Noida, India"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Vandana","family":"Ahuja","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Jaypee Business School, Jaypee Institute of Information Technology, Uttar Pradesh, Noida, India"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"2432","reference":[{"issue":"3","key":"ijom.2014010104-0","first-page":"291","article-title":"Virtual togetherness: An every-day life perspective.","volume":"25","author":"M.Bakardjieva","year":"2003","journal-title":"Media Culture & Society"},{"key":"ijom.2014010104-1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.intmar.2008.11.002"},{"key":"ijom.2014010104-2","author":"S.
