    Författare :Amalia Foukaki; Företagsekonomiska institutionen; []
    Nyckelord :SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; Standardization management; Interorganizational relations; Resource dependence; Co-opetition; Corporate strategy;

    Sammanfattning : In modern business, standards are too important to be ignored. But what is the rationale for active engagement in long and costly standardization processes when most of those standards will be openly available for a much lower price once they are finalized? What are the strategic motives for engaging in such processes? And even when the motives are clear, how is corporate standardization managed, both inside and outside of the organization? Prior standardization and strategic management literatures have not explored these inquiries, leading to a limited understanding of corporate standardization management and its drivers, complexities, and potential.

    Nyckelord :SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; political integration; integration theory; policy networks; cross-border cooperation; régionalisation; region-building; institutionalization; multi-level dependence;

    Sammanfattning : This study starts out with the hypothesis that the integration process in Europe is connected to cross-border régionalisation, a process which supports the institutionalization of subnational cross-border cooperation - region-building. Cross-border régionalisation is characterized by the decentralisation of vertical links and enhanced opportunities for horizontal links across state borders. LÄS MER

We also present and evaluate different tests for endogeneity in explanatory binary variables in multivariate linear regression models. LÄS MER
