Innovation and standardization might seem polar opposites but over many years various scholars have noted close connections between the two. This Handbook assembles a broad range of thinking on this subject with contributions from several disciplinary perspectives by over 30 leading scholars and experienced practitioners. Collectively they summarize and synthesize the existing body of knowledge theory and evidence pertaining to standards and innovation and provide insights into how this knowledge can be useful to scholars industrial strategists policy makers and standards practitioners. Drawn from leading experts in several social science disciplines this Handbook provides new insights into innovation processes and systems using theoretical empirical and applied approaches. By situating standards and standardization as specific factors which play distinctive roles in innovation driven growth it establishes that standardization (doing things the same way) is an essential component of innovation (doing things differently). The book also provides novel and practical insight into how standards are incorporated into innovation strategies and policies. Comprehensive and original this collection will be a vital resource for all students and academics of social natural and engineering science communities. Policy makers and practitioners will also find a wealth of experience and knowledge within its pages
