Market and Committee Mechanisms in Setting Global Standards

Jeffrey L. Funk

Chapter 3 in Global Competition Between and Within Standards, 2002, pp 36-92 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract This chapter shows how the hybrid model of setting standards explains standard setting in the mobile communications industry better than a model that only employs one or the other mechanism. For the most part, national and regional committees selected mobile communication standards, where market mechanisms, through increasing returns to scale, caused the emergence of global standards.
