Standards and innovation: A brief survey of empirical evidence and transmission mechanismsG.M.P. Swann and Ray Lambert 3. The economic functions of standards in the innovation process Knut Blind4. Standards, systems of innovation and policyRichard Hawkins 5. Platforms and standards: An historical perspectiveW. Edward Steinmueller6. Towards a functional classification of standards for innovation research Tineke M. Egyedi and J. Roland OrttPart II Standards, Innovation and Industry7. Standards and expansion paths in high-tech industriesGregory Tassey8. Measurement, standards and productivity spilloversMichael King, Ray Lambert and Paul Temple9. Impact of service standardization on service innovation Henk J. de Vries and Paul Moritz Wiegmann 10. ‘Smart industry’ and the confluence of standardsClaire Stolwijk, Matthijs Punter and Carlos Montalvo11. Where patents and standards come togetherRudi Bekkers,12. Standards, patents and innovationTimothy Simcoe and Cesare Righi Part III Standards, Innovation and Markets13. The use of standards by firmsJohn Hudson and Marta Orviska14. Markets, standardization and innovation: reflections on the European Single MarketChristian Frankel and Jean-Pierre Galland15. Standards and technological substitution: the case of transportation systems Eric J. Iversen16. Standards, innovation and business models: the case of digital radioSimon Delaere and Pieter Ballon17. Standardization and market framing: The case of nanotechnology Aurélie DelemarlePart IV Strategies, standards and innovation: A practitioner perspective18. Corporate standardization management and innovationKai Jakobs19. ISO 14000 Environmental Standards: Implementing innovation in management and measuresRobert Page20. Standardization, innovation, and reality: Matching theory and practiceCarl F. Cargill Index

`This tour de force of a book will be the seminal reference for our understanding of standards and standardization in relation to innovation and markets. The editors are world leaders with regards to the standard-innovation nexus, and the team of contributors is an excellent mix of leading academics from different disciplines and practitioners. The breadth the volume covers is breathtaking, but all presented in a logical order, covering theory, evidence and practical insights both at the industry and market level. Too many volumes claim to be handbooks these days, but this one deserves the label indeed. And it can be used for teaching, for further research and for practical support in the jungle of standardization.'
