Standardization of Network Technologies: Market Processes or the Result of Inter‐Firm Co‐operation?
梳理了网络技术标准化领域近十年的研究成果，将模型分为基于用户预期行为和基于企业合作行为两类，并讨论了市场标准化模型与不同参与者模型，最后提出未来研究方向。
As recent studies on the evolution of a technology indicate, the role of a standard, or dominant design, is highly significant in a number of contemporary industries such as computer, telecommunications and consumer electronics. Following Katz’ and Shapiro’s pioneering works (1985), our paper rationally evaluates the concepts and results developed over the past ten years in this field. It is grounded on a typology of two types of models: the first is based on users’ anticipatory behaviour, and the second, on the collaborative behaviour of existing firms. The article initially discusses the specificity of network technologies, then analyses market standardisation models, and finally, studies the different actors models. Our conclusion builds upon existing works in network technologies. We next propose a research agenda
