Researchers in business management and information technology contribute to standardization in business practices and information and communication technology to improve interoperability. Invited papers cover how corporate standardization shapes tomorrow's business; and standardization, not standards, matter. Other papers cover the business view, developing standards and processes, dealing with resistance, intellectual property rights, looking at innovation, and two sides of the same coin. Among specific topics are business benefits through company information technology standardization, the pressure cooker approach for open standards development, a philosophical-empirical approach to managing in-company standardization while avoiding resistance, a primer on intellectual property policies of standards bodies, and ethical considerations.
