After explaining some theoretical background on innovation and customer engagement as a preamble of customer integration in the marketing theory, the research method was described, and the results were presented. There is also an explanation of reasons why customer integration is useful and rational and nowadays not a rare occurrence anymore. As results of the systematic review, different instruments on customer integration in the new product development were categorized and risks and benefits were mainly discussed. The implications of the thesis were that customer integration is beneficial at all, but a company has to evaluate possible risks and methods painstakingly.
