Globalization has been a main driver for firms’ entry into standard-setting organizations (SSOs). These global multifirm settings have caught attention due to tensions arising from simultaneous collaboration and competition among firms as well as due to the increasing geographical complexity of the standardization process. SSOs present one form of a multifirm environment, where companies proactively and voluntarily collaborate to develop a new standard. Although a growing body of literature has tried to understand firms’ underlying rationales for engaging in SSOs, we know little about firm-level characteristics influencing the propensity to enter a standard-setting organization. For this purpose, data of the Community Innovation Survey 2011 for Germany are merged with data of companies’ participation at technical committees of the German Institute for Standardization (DIN) between 2010 and 2013. Using these unique data, we can observe the moment when firms enter a technical committee of a formal SSO and, hence, tackle the problem of simultaneity. Our results show that the likelihood to enter a technical committee of an SSO increases for firms that introduce new products or services into the market, while absorptive capacity does not have a significant positive influence. Finally, the protection of innovations by patents further enhances the likelihood to enter a technical committee of an SSO.

公司进入标准制定组织的驱动因素

全球化一直是企业进入标准制定组织 (SSO) 的主要驱动力。由于公司之间同时合作和竞争所引起的紧张局势以及标准化过程日益复杂的地理环境,这些全球多公司环境引起了人们的注意。SSO 提供了一种形式的多公司环境,在这种环境中,公司积极主动地合作开发新标准。尽管越来越多的文献试图了解公司参与 SSO 的基本原理,但我们对影响进入标准制定组织倾向的公司层面特征知之甚少。以此目的,2011 年德国社区创新调查的数据与 2010 年至 2013 年间企业参与德国标准化研究所 (DIN) 技术委员会的数据合并。使用这些独特的数据,我们可以观察企业进入技术委员会的时刻正式的 SSO,因此,解决了同时性问题。我们的结果表明,将新产品或服务引入市场的公司加入 SSO 技术委员会的可能性增加,而吸收能力没有显着的积极影响。最后,专利对创新的保护进一步提高了进入 SSO 技术委员会的可能性。我们可以观察到公司加入正式 SSO 的技术委员会并因此解决同时性问题的时刻。我们的结果表明,将新产品或服务引入市场的公司加入 SSO 技术委员会的可能性增加,而吸收能力没有显着的积极影响。最后,专利对创新的保护进一步提高了进入 SSO 技术委员会的可能性。我们可以观察到公司加入正式 SSO 的技术委员会并因此解决同时性问题的时刻。我们的结果表明,将新产品或服务引入市场的公司加入 SSO 技术委员会的可能性增加,而吸收能力没有显着的积极影响。最后,专利对创新的保护进一步提高了进入 SSO 技术委员会的可能性。
