The state of the art of testing standards for integrated robotic systems
2020, Robotics and Computer-Integrated ManufacturingCitation Excerpt :A technology standard itself can also be viewed as a type of technologies. The relations of standards and development of technologies have been discussed by many researchers [2,17]. Since the first industrial robot was developed and used in manufacturing site in 1960s, some significant progresses have been made in developing and applying robots.
Exploring the mechanism of technology standardization and innovation using the solidification theory of binary eutectic alloy
2018, Technological Forecasting and Social ChangeCitation Excerpt :Researchers also pointed out that most of the standard formation is originated from technology innovation. Antonelli (1994) studied the evolution of standards as an economic system and a variety of roles and effects of technology standard. He argued that technology standardization issues in traditional industries are not complicated.
The dynamics and determinants of de jure standards: Evidence from the electronic and electrical engineering industries
2018, Computer Standards and InterfacesCitation Excerpt :Of a few studies that do exist, they use bibliographic data from JTC13 [8] and PERINORM4 [9] to facilitate their analyses. Standardization is a natural result of the diffusion, selection, and adoption of technological changes [10]. Given that standardization is not a static process, the effect of a standard on product innovation is dynamic and differs at each stage of a product's life cycle.
Resistance and power in a security certification scheme: The case of c:cure
2016, Decision Support SystemsCitation Excerpt :This research investigates an early attempt by industry stakeholders to implement a certification scheme, known as c:cure, for the information security management standard BS7799 in the UK. In discussing the importance and dynamics of standards and certification schemes, prior studies of certification predominantly using economics as research theory range from market penetration strategy [6,9,69], the economics of user involvement [19,28] and its relationship with institutional and technological change [2,74]. Overall, the economic perspective assumes that the motivation for standardization arises from the economic and strategic incentives in market penetration and diffusion [27]: organizations make rational choices when choosing to obtain certification, weighing up the balance of cost and benefit.
