This research investigates the impact of value propositions in Chinese health service enterprises on value creation, with a focus on customer participation as a mediating variable. Employing a dual dimension framework, the study identifies three formal stages in the value creation process: labor production, circulation and exchange, and consumption experience. Through empirical analysis involving 303 valid questionnaire responses, it was found that value propositions exert direct or indirect influence on value creation, mediated by customer participation. Furthermore, customer perceived value was found to positively moderate the relationship between customer participation and value creation. Practical implications suggest the importance of prioritizing use value creation, establishing mechanisms to address contract violations, and reshaping societal expectations towards value. However, limitations include potential oversight of implicit value propositions and challenges in quantitatively measuring usage value. Future research may explore alternative data sources and refine measurement techniques for a deeper understanding of value creation in service industries.

This study investigates the intricate relationship between entrepreneurial orientation (EO), effect reasoning (ER), and digital transformation (DT) in enterprises. Drawing on established literature, it hypothesizes that EO positively influences ER formation, which, in turn, fosters DT. The research employs a quantitative approach, utilizing regression analysis to test the proposed hypotheses. Findings indicate a direct positive relationship between EO and DT, suggesting that enterprises with higher EO are more inclined towards digital initiatives. Additionally, the study reveals that EO promotes the formation of different patterns of ER, including experimental, flexible, pre-commitment, and tolerable loss reasoning. Importantly, ER emerges as a significant predictor of DT, mediating the relationship between EO and DT. These findings underscore the pivotal role of ER as a cognitive mechanism driving digital transformation efforts in enterprises. The study contributes to the literature by providing empirical evidence of the interplay between EO, ER, and DT, offering insights for practitioners seeking to navigate the complexities of digital transformation.
