Customer co-creation: A typology and research agenda

Matthew S. O'Hern, Aric Rindfleisch

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceedingChapter

Abstract

Traditional marketing thought and practice largely view new product development (NPD) as an internal, firm-based activity in which customers are relatively passive buyers and users. This traditional paradigm is currently being challenged by a new perspective in which customers are active co-creators of the products they buy and use. This chapter identifies the origins of this paradigm shift, presents a conceptual typology of four different types of co-creation activity, and offers an agenda for future research of this emerging paradigm.
