Abstract

Based on the huge amount of available knowledge and the involvement of educated consumers with the products they buy, traditional business processes are innovating through a new approach: co-creation. In a theoretical study one can classify the types of co-creation through things like openness and contributions in the process, ownership of the results and leadership in activities. In order to explore the phenomenon of co-creation within creative processes, the article proposes a comparative analysis between theoretical typological models and practical methods used by four market professionals.

Keywords: co-creation, openness, ownership, directed activity, contribution activity.
