TL;DR: This book analyzes the role of national standardization organizations (NSO) in the development of standards and describes the methods used to develop standards.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors propose that the relationship between ISO 9001 and radical and incremental product innovation performance is influenced by the extent to which the standard has been adopted, the extent of signaling, the motivation of the company to implement the ISO9001 standard, the sector and the region in which the company operates, the size of the companies, and the standard version (1987, 1994/2000, 2008/2015).

TL;DR: A more complete overview of factors based on the available literature is developed, which can be used by both researchers and practitioners to understand historical and current format battles as well as acceptance of formats without direct competitors.

TL;DR: It is shown how a standard’s flexibility can serve to attract new network members, facilitating growth and diversity of the network, which in turn has implications for further adaptations of the standard.

TL;DR: This paper reviews the existing literatures on individual modes and on multi-mode standardisation, and recombining existing evidence generates new insights into multi- mode standardisation processes that are likely to involve all three modes of standardisation identified in the literature.
