Synopsis

In light of the emerging information infrastructure, information technology standards are becoming increasingly important. However, the standards setting process is often criticized as being slow, inefficient and out of touch with market needs. This volume seeks to provide a basis for a resolution to this situation. It paints a picture of the varied and diverse aspects surrounding standards and standardization. The text aims to serve as a foundation for research, discussion and practice as it addresses trends, problems and solutions for and by numerous disciplines, such as economics, social sciences, management studies, politics, and computer science.
