Abstract
Companies lack efficient mechanisms for the systematic and continuous integration of customers in order to generate benefits and to avoid further complicating their internal processes. A gap was recognized that there is a lack of knowledge management competence to anchor customer know-how in business processes on a persistent basis. These initial findings clearly indicate the need for a comprehensive procedural model for continuous customer integration across all stages of the development process and enabling a persistent knowledge representation.
Keywords: customer integration methods, knowledge management, product development
