Query: To Participate Or Not To Participate: An Investigation Of Strategic
  Participation In Standards   Essential functionality in the ICT (Information and Communication Technology)
space draws from standards such as HTTP (IETF RFC 2616, Bluetooth (IEEE 802.15)
and various telecommunication standards (4G, 5G). They have fuelled rapid
growth of ICT sector in the last decades by ensuring interoperability and
consistency in computing environment. Research shows that firms that backed ICT
standards and participated in standards development, have emerged as industry
innovators. Standards development thus clearly has benefits for participating
companies as well as technology development and innovation in general. However,
significant costs are also associated with development of standards and need to
be better understood to support investment in standardization necessary for
todays ICT environment. We present a conceptual model that considers the
potential for market innovation across a standards lifecycle and efficiency
from standardization work, to build a forward-looking decision model that can
guide an organizations standards development activities. We investigate and
formalize motivations that drive firms to participate in standardization,
specifically, changes in market innovation. Our model can serve as a strategic
decision framework to drive assessments of a firms participation in standards
development. We test our model with a use case on an established access control
approach that was standardized more than two decades ago, Role Based Access
Control (RBAC) using historical data. The investigation of the case study shows
that change in market innovation is a significant indicator of success in
standards development and are viable criteria to model a firms decision to
participate (or not to participate) in a specific area of standardization.
