“…Distinguishing between the different roles participants play in standardisation helps manage its efficiency, openness and inclusiveness (Umapathy et al 2007). Spring et al (1995) hint that understanding and defining clear roles could furthermore speed up the pace of de jure standardisation.…”

Responsible Innovation has recently been taken up in public policies and discourses. However, it remains challenging to institutionalise its core dimensions -inclusion, anticipation, responsiveness, reflexivity, and transparency -in practice. De jure standardisation is increasingly seen as an instrument to embed the core principles of Responsible Innovation in innovation processes, because of its anticipatory and inclusive nature. Yet, Responsible Innovation within the standardisation literature is an under-researched field of study. This paper explores and evaluates the relative importance of Responsible Innovation's core dimensions in the standards development process. We identify eighteen criteria that are deemed essential to the quality of standardisation processes. The Best-Worst Method was used to rank these criteria on their perceived importance. Diversity of participation was found to be the most important contributing factor to the quality of standardisation.

“…The third phase of the standardization life cycle is the actual development of the standard, essentially a design exercise through a complex interplay among three forces: design, sensemaking, and negotiation (Mitra et al, 2005). This is the DSN model which recognizes the complex and different roles played by various participants, such as: advocate, architect, bystander, critic, facilitator, guru, or procrastinator (Umapathy et al, 2010). During the SDO's development process, the participants engage in: setting the project scope, composing and making proposals and counter-proposals constituting an anticipatory design, analysis of draft standard impacts (sense-making), negotiating revisions, coalition building to attain consensus and final approval through various democratic processes (e.g., voting) (Fomin, Keil, & Lyytinen 2003).…”

“…Such traditional standards-setting processes are increasingly displaced by SDA because nontrivial design components infuse modern technical standards. For example, SDA generally involves at least some highly-active participants who assume aggressively identifiable profiles (avatars) because they propose particular solutions largely crafted outside the SDA (Umapathy et al, 2010). Other, less active participants are typically engaged in proposing modifications, accepting, adopting, and standardizing this proposed solution as a new design.…”

Sustainability in supply chain operations fundamentally relies on environmental standards, the traditional driver of investment in pollution control and a major factor in facilities site selection. While environmental standardization has traditionally focused on activities in nations and in some multinational regions, in the future a more international perspective is needed. Environmental standards spur investment in technologies enabling sustainable supply chain networks. The complex institutional framework of environmental standardization is a widely misunderstood socio-technical, political process. Experience with the development of legal constraints on standardization in the U.S. has produced problems in areas like intellectual property (IP), antitrust and public participation. Standardization venues often host collaborative development of innovation by uniquely fusing technology design and public policy development. Various constituencies are typically engaged: environmentalists; technologists; legislatures at national, regional or provincial levels; regulators at various levels of government; standards-setting organizations; upstream suppliers; downstream users; the connecting supply chains; and society’s varied range of affected communities. This article reviews the role of standardization activities in setting environmental constraints, in the development of green technologies and in establishing metrics for environmental metrology, certification and monitoring. Implications from U.S. experience in managing environmental standardization are examined here to guide participation in international standardization activities. The risks of misunderstanding standardization are so significant that their disregard imperils competitiveness.

Vorwort AbstractOrganisations establish projects to realise unique time-limited enterprises efficiently. Particularly in industry this practice is common for large-scale projects. The IT management supporting such industry projects often faces special, characteristic challenges.This paper addresses how existing concepts of strategic IT management can be applied in the context of large-scale industry projects. A general reference model is defined for future application by IT departments in large-scale industrial projects.This model is based on five large-scale industry projects that were analysed consistently through a case study methodology: Digital mobile radio BOS (Cassidian/EADS), Elbphilharmonie Hamburg (HOCHTIEF), Genetic power plant (Siemens), Nord Stream Pipeline (Nord Stream), Polyethylene Plant SHARQ (Linde).The reference model for project IT management is structured along the three Business Engineering design layers: strategy, processes and realisation. Base on scientific literature and case studies the model provides practical recommendations, success factors and common pitfalls.The IT management strategy should integrate with overall project management. As such, IT strategy is a tool to position IT management internally as a process integrator for other operational departments. The identification of technical solutions should focus on proven technologies with prior experience transferred to future projects wherever possible.To design IT management processes, the existing industry frameworks and standards are aligned to a specific project's needs, taking account of the planned time constraints and then consolidated into a comprehensive process template. With regard to the requirement profile, IT management should adopt a role differentiated going from IT-central, over Business-drives-IT to IT-enables-Business in the internal project Business-IT alignment.Information security has a high impact on successful project delivery, so employees and contractors should be aware of the risks, e.g. via guidelines and trainings. IT management employees must also be able to relate to the working methods of foreign partners, and account for cultural differences in their IT project planning and realisation. Cooperation with proven "preferred suppliers" is beneficial, enabling relationships, trust and understanding to develop.The reference model design is determined by six influential factors: Project volume, time constraints from an IT perspective, applicable existing IT experience, project internationality, project independence and the relationship or impact of IT to the project.
