| dc.description.sponsorship | The focus of this thesis is twofold; first the focus is on general standardization
theory, and thereafter the theory is applied to the Office Open XML (OOXML)
case. The thesis analyses the economic impacts of compatibility standards, and
hereunder applies the results to examine the economic impacts of the international
document standard OOXML. A focus will be on markets characterised by
network externalities. Another focus will be comparing the private and social
incentives for standardization. In order to answer the research questions, relevant
economic theories is presented and economic models are derived. The authors will
also present independent work and new interesting findings. | no_NO |
