چکیده انگلیسی


• We study three B2B manufacturing firms that deal with digital innovation.
• We identify the distinct roles of customers and users in guiding digital innovation.
• Customer knowledge provides short-term guidance for digital innovation processes.
• User knowledge provides long-term guidance for digital innovation processes.
• We identify 12 practices for leveraging customer and user knowledge for use in digital innovation.

Diffusion of digital technologies into the manufacturing industry has created new opportunities for innovation that firms must address to remain competitive. We investigate the role of customer and user knowledge in the digital innovation processes of three global B2B manufacturing companies. We find that the B2B manufacturing industry's characteristics influence how users and customers may be leveraged. Customers making the purchasing decisions are considered for knowledge about short-term changes in market needs, while users working directly with the products provide long-term guidance for digital innovation. We identify practices for acquiring, distributing, and using customer and user knowledge for digital innovation.
