Innovation diffusion through standardization : A study of building ventilation products

Bahrami, Soheila LU orcid ; Atkin, Brian LU and Landin, Anne LU (2019) In Journal of Engineering and Technology Management 54. p.56-66
Abstract

Standards on product information can facilitate the diffusion of innovations. This paper explores the standards related to the ventilation products with improved acoustic performance and the stakeholders involved. We introduce a new approach to classification and identification of the functions of standards in supporting such innovations. Moreover, our analysis of stakeholders indicates that the companies providing building modeling software have a pivotal role to play regarding the exchange of product information and the diffusion of innovative products. This is due to a market-mediated interdependence among ventilation product manufacturers, software companies, and engineering services firms that can create network effects.
