    Abstract : The aim of this thesis is to explore what is involved when learning science, by focusing on students’ appropriation of the school science language.

  7. 15. Gaining influence in standard-setting processes : a discussion of underlying mechanisms in 3G mobile telephony technology development

    Author : Christina Grundström; Helén Andersson; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : Dominant designs; standard-setting processes; 3G mobile telephony technology development; technology and standards hierarchy; industry maturity; roles and functions of people; SOCIAL SCIENCES; SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP;

    Abstract : The environment in which companies operate is such that standards become increasingly important due to the built-in rigidities resulting from previous technology investments and network externalities. The research question is: How can a market-leading company gain influence on the formation of standards perceived as vital for the company-s continued business? The purpose of the dissertation is to explore, describe, and characterise how such influence may be gained; it thus aims to reveal some of the mechanisms underlying a technology standard-setting process.
