Abstract
The improvement of enterprises’ standardization capability can enhance the quality of products and services, thereby strengthening the core competitiveness. However, it is difficult for a single enterprise to master all the technologies, therefore, standard cooperation is an important channel for enterprises to obtain resources. This article investigates whether and how standard cooperation affects enterprises’ standardization capability. Using the survey data of 165 enterprises in the ICT industry, the study reveals the effectiveness of standard cooperation in promoting enterprises’ standardization capability. In particular, it examines the positive impact of standard cooperation depth and breadth on standardization capability. In addition, technological capability significantly enhances the positive impact of standard cooperation depth on enterprises’ standardization capability rather than that of standard cooperation breadth. Therefore, it is suggested that enterprises should optimize their standard cooperation network relationships, choose different partners according to their technological capabilities, and formulate differentiated standard competition strategies.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Engineering and Technology Management (JET-M) is an international scholarly refereed research journal which aims to promote the theory and practice of technology, innovation, and engineering management.
The journal links engineering, science, and management disciplines. It addresses the issues involved in the planning, development, and implementation of technological capabilities to shape and accomplish the strategic and operational objectives of an organization. It covers not only R&D management, but also the entire spectrum of managerial concerns in technology-based organizations. This includes issues relating to new product development, human resource management, innovation process management, project management, technological fusion, marketing, technological forecasting and strategic planning.
The journal provides an interface between technology and other corporate functions, such as R&D, marketing, manufacturing and administration. Its ultimate goal is to make a profound contribution to theory development, research and practice by serving as a leading forum for the publication of scholarly research on all aspects of technology, innovation, and engineering management.
