Standards and standardization policies increasingly influence
innovation and competitiveness. As well as examining how standards
are developed and applied, this important new book considers
whether technical standards function as effective public policy
instruments and components in the processes of industrial
globalization.Much of the existing literature in the field makes
reference either to information and communication technologies or
to the protection and management of the natural environment. In
Standards, Innovation and Competitiveness there is a recognition of
how closely integrated both sectors have become over questions of
process, the role of scientific assessment, and the 'network'
effects that accompany standardization. The contributors shift the
research and policy focus away from narrowly defined sectoral
concerns, towards a more generic view of standards and
standards-setting, and their roles as instruments of public policy.
With nineteen papers by authors from seven countries, the blend of
approaches ranges from formal economic analysis, through political,
sociological, and historical analysis, to pragmatic discussions by
standards makers themselves. The subjects discussed include issue
definition, methodological approaches, political articulation of
public and private sector agendas, organizational and
decision-making processes, the role of technology users in
standardization, and the relationship between standardization and
innovation.
