The academic interest in International Entrepreneurship and Born Globals on the one hand; and in standardization and standards on the other hand is strong and growing, but there has been hardly any linkage between the two research streams. This paper shows how Born Globals can successfully establish their technologies as de facto standards. Based on 22 case studies and a new success factors model, the paper also unveils different contributions of networks for Born Globals. Additionally, specific networking patterns in relation to technical networks were found. Four firm types were identified: `System Leaders', `Cross Platform Solutions', `Platform Servants' and `Platform Autarkics'. Based on the findings implications for research and managers of born global firms are formulated.

This paper analyzes the standardization landscape that is now taking shape to support market uptake of the electric vehicle ecosystem. For comparative qualitative analysis, data was taken from the three relevant expert assessments recently conducted by DIN, NPE and ANSI EVSP. Each of these three compendiums views a different set of standards as the basis needed for achieving market proliferation. In total, these studies referenced 1423 standards. Contrary to our expectations, only 18% of those standards were cited by all three compendiums. This surprisingly small set of standards includes documents from the international standardization entities, ISO and IEC, but also from the US entities, SAE and UL. The EV ecosystem is founded on standards for road-vehicle engineering. Nevertheless, standards from the fields of electrical engineering, telecommunications and information technology play an equally important role in ensuring the feasibility and interoperability of the subsystems upon which the overall ecosystem is built. Consequently, the question of which standards will be most important for ensuring market uptake remains open. On the basis of these findings, we recommend a conceptual framework that clarifies stakeholders' opportunities for decreasing risk by leveraging implementation of central and peripheral standards selected to match the company's innovation policies and competitive strategies. This decision is governed by balancing the trade-offs between product performance and standards compliance.

The paper argues that the Chinese standardisation system should not be perceived as a threat to international ICT standardisation, and that the rather more relaxed attitude of the EU is the best way forward. It claims that a co-operation based approach to the increasingly powerful relative newcomer is much more appropriate than one based on competition. These arguments are based on a discussion of the European and Chinese standardisation systems, on a subsequent SWOT analysis and on a brief case study.

This paper examines how a standards-based pro-competition legal interoperability framework can be applied to ensure future Internet services markets remain open, innovative and competitive. We assess regulatory intervention according to the code solution or solutions used. We analyse the regulatory shaping of “code” standards - the technological environment of the Internet comprising hardware, software and their interactions, notably in the protocols and standards used to achieve interoperability ” to achieve more economically efficient and socially just regulation. We go on to explore standards-based solutions that involve both competition analysis and interoperability requirements in strategic communications sectors. We conclude that such standards frameworks are urgently needed to enable citizens to make most effective use of the opportunities offered by new information and communications technologies (ICTs).

This paper presents novel results concerning specifications of standards and their implementations in open source software. Specifically, our analysis draws from rich insights and experiences related to two open source projects implementing the specification of the PDF format. The study reports on a number of issues, including: lack of clarity in the specification; implementations deviate from specification; licensing and patent issues; and influences between the specification of a standard and its implementations in software systems. Our findings present rich insights from current practice concerning challenges and opportunities for implementing specifications of standards in open source projects, and constitute an important contribution to enhanced standardisation processes.

In this article we describe the European standardisation of Terrestrial Trunked Radio (TETRA) and try to draw lessons for European research managers who participate in national civil security research programmes and wish to develop standards related to their security-specific R&D results. This study challenges the findings from Weiss and Sirbu (1990), which suggest that the political skills of the sponsors of a technology are not significant for its adoption in a standardisation process. TETRA's establishment was shaped by specific people, specific skills and specific strategies. Our study shows the importance of political skills, as well as the relevance of multiple lobbying and negotiation activities in influencing the standardisation process. Specific national strategies in forging alliances, as well as lobbying on the European level were crucial, and their realisation offers lessons to learn from. Moreover, given the indisputable multinational dimension in many security issues, our article contains suggestions regarding dual national-European level standardisation strategies needed, for instance, in the context of the European security standardisation Mandate M/487. The TETRA case illustrates how to pursue such a dual level standardisation strategy successfully.

In the field of Information and Communication Technologies, standards are of overriding importance. Accordingly, much has been written about their economic impact. Yet, comparably little is known about how firms manage their standardisation activities. This paper develops a framework as a basis for both practitioners and researchers to get a better understanding of how to improve a firms' performance in ICT standardisation. To this end, I offer a closer look at the major types of actors - firms, standards bodies and individual standards setters and at the links and similarities that exist between a firm's strategic behaviour in a market and its approach to standardisation. These aspects are integrated to form a framework for future research and practical deployment.

The debate over potential antitrust concerns for the use of protected intellectual property within standard setting often centers on the rules and regulations in place at Standard Setting Organizations (SSOs). I consider a broader question of IPR policy: what are SSOs doing, of their own volition, to address apparent antitrust gaps or weaknesses within their IPR rules? This paper systematically assesses what SSOs have actually done (or failed to do) in reaction to antitrust concerns, as those concerns emerge over time.

Standards reduce production costs and increase the value of products to consumers; ultimately they significantly contribute to economic development. Standards however entail risks of anti-competitive abuse. After the adoption of a standard, the elimination of competition between technologies can lead to consumer harm. Fair, reasonable, non-discriminatory (FRAND) commitments made by patent holders have been used to mitigate that risk. The European Commission recognises the importance of standards, but European Union competition policy is still seeking to identify well-targeted and efficient enforcement rules. This Policy Brief identifies and discusses the main sources of direct harm to European consumers that can arise as a consequence of standardisation. Harm can occur through too-high prices for consumers, but can also be incurred if incentives to innovate are undermined. A consistent policy by the European Commission capable of tackling all sources of harm should simply be based on Article 102 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union regardless of whether FRAND commitments are given. Antitrust enforcement should hinge on the identification of a distortion in the bargaining process around technology access prices, if it can be shown that the distortion is determined by the adoption of the standard and is not attributable to the pro-competitive merits of any of the involved parties.
