Innovation and standardization might seem polar opposites, but over
many years various scholars have noted close connections between
the two. This Handbook assembles a broad range of thinking on this
subject, with contributions from several disciplinary perspectives
by over 30 leading scholars and experienced practitioners.
Collectively, they summarize and synthesize the existing body of
knowledge - theory and evidence - pertaining to standards and
innovation, and provide insights into how this knowledge can be
useful to scholars, industrial strategists, policy-makers and
standards practitioners. Drawn from leading experts in several
social science disciplines, this Handbook provides new insights
into innovation processes and systems using theoretical, empirical
and applied approaches. By situating standards and standardization
as specific factors which play distinctive roles in
innovation-driven growth, it establishes that standardization
(doing things the same way) is an essential component of innovation
(doing things differently). The book also provides novel and
practical insight into how standards are incorporated into
innovation strategies and policies. Comprehensive and original,
this collection will be a vital resource for all students and
academics of social, natural and engineering science communities.
Policy-makers and practitioners will also find a wealth of
experience and knowledge within its pages.
