ABSTRACT This article serves to conduct a systematic literary review upon the subject of user-driven innovation in a supply and value network. The methodology behind the review is strict, organised, and controlled by peers in order to ensure that most of the relevant theory behind the subject is covered. Seven categories of relevant literature were defined, analysed, and discussed, which resulted in a number of subjects for improvement in the current literature as well as a number of subjects that seem to be uncovered in theory today.
