'Contributions to this volume by experienced economists, social scientists, engineers and computer scientists lay an interdisciplinary basis for understanding the cause and impact of standards dynamics. Intriguing questions and convincing responses reveal the practical and the scientific implications of change. An excellent collection of articles!'- Raymund Werle, Max Planck Institute for the Study of Societies'This is an important new book that directly addresses probably the most significant and longstanding lacuna in our understanding of standards ... In many respects, the contributors set out a new paradigm for the investigation of standards. They open the door to new kinds of questions about the function and role of standards in rapidly changing technological and business environments and new approaches to the investigation of standardisation phenomena. The scientific implications will be far reaching.'- From the foreword by Richard Hawkins
