Customers as Innovators: A New Way to Create Value

Fully understanding customers needs is a costly and inexact

process. Even when customers know precisely what they want,they often cannot clearly or completely transfer that information to

manufacturers. The solution ?

Many companies are equipping customers with tool kits to

develop their own products. Such an approach can generate

tremendous value, although capturing that value is hardly simple

or straightforward.
