Critical Acclaim
‘This book offers a comprehensive overview and summary of research on the experience economy. It elaborates on the differences of functional services and experiences, and primary and secondary experiences, points at the importance of experience propositions as well as central topics and approaches.The value of paid organized experiences has increased over the last three decades, and was revealed further by its absence during the coronavirus pandemic. Scholars, postgraduate students and advanced undergraduate students will find it a useful resource.’

‘Jon Sundbo provides a structural overview of theories, and many perspectives on the experience economy. A comprehensive study from an economic, psychological, sociological, marketing and design, business model and digitalisation perspective. Never before have all these viewpoints been listed so extensively and completely. I consider this a great achievement that contributes to the theory of the economy of experiences.’
