  • Abstract
    Traditionally, studies of open innovation (OI) focused on high-tech industry. Though consumer goods industry is increasingly adopting online open innovation (OOI), managers are unclear about the trends of OOI. This study proposes a new classification of OOI in consumer goods industry: firm-led OOI and customer-led OOI, and identify the evolution trends of customer-led OOI. The finding is based on a longitudinal study of 138 cases. The results highlight the important areas that managers should pay particular attention to.
