Abstract: Abstract This paper asserts that industrial systems are a kind of complex system and that their evolvement mechanism fits a dissipative structure well. By applying complex system theory, this paper explores the role of technology standards in industrial systems from the perspective of order parameters. In addition, by adopting a low concentration trimolecular model to study how technologies transfer and diffuse, this paper illuminates the formation mechanism of technology standards and their dynamic mechanisms of action. Furthermore, this paper provides scales for the evolvement of industrial structures and attributes from the perspective of entropy theory. It also discusses organization formats and principles for promoting technology standardization in industrial systems.
