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

Sammanfattning : Background: Since a financial crisis in the 1990’s employees in the Swedish public sector have suffered from work stress and related consequences such as long-term sick leave.
