van de Kaa, G. (author)In the past century, the amount of information that is generated has increased at an exponential rate. As a result of this information saturation process or ‘information overload’, people cannot keep pace with the information flowing towards them. Organizations can take steps towards sustainability by improving the health conditions in their...book chapter 2021

van de Kaa, G. (author)Many markets are characterized by increasing returns to adoption and, often, in such markets standards battles are fought (Suarez, 2004; Schilling 1998; Van de Kaa 2011). Literature on standards selection predominantly focuses on standards that are part of a new single product or system, such as the internet or a telecommunications network ...conference paper 2018

Papachristos, G. (author), van de Kaa, G. (author)Competition between technology standards for market share is a complicated phenomenon where a large number of factors have an impact on the outcome according to the literature. Inevitably studying their influence, for example the timing of market entry, is a challenge. The generic simulation model presented here builds on previous work and is...conference paper 2014

Ligtvoet, A. (author), van de Kaa, G. (author), Fens, T.W. (author), van den Hoven, M.J. (author), van Beers, Cees (author), Herder, P.M. (author)The interconnected nature of the different components of smart grids is a prime example of complexity in technological systems. Developing such systems is highly dependent on the wishes and needs of end-users and other stakeholders. We argue that stakeholder values should be taken into consideration during the design and standardisation of...conference paper 2014

van de Kaa, G. (author), Ligtvoet, A. (author), Fens, T.W. (author), Herder, P.M. (author)Smart home energy systems are technically possible to realize but are not yet applied on a large scale partly due to the fact that no common standards exist that enable interconnection of components that make up these smart energy systems. Multiple standards have been developed which are competing in standards battles. In this paper we conduct a...conference paper 2014

van de Kaa, G. (author)Innovative systems and infrastructures such as smart grids, the internet of things, cities, or highways require generally accepted common compatibility standards to enable components of such systems to interoperate. In some cases, various standards aredeveloped by competing standards organizations, often resulting in standards battles. This...conference paper 2017

Papachristos, G. (author), van de Kaa, G. (author)Platform competition for market share can have broad ranging implications within or across industry sectors. It is subject to the complex and changing socioeconomic context in which it unfolds. Three trends provide evidence for this: (i) the number of relevant factors for platform market dominance is steadily increasing, (ii) industries...conference paper 2016

Papachristos, G. (author), van de Kaa, G. (author)There is considerable research on platform market competition. However, there is significantly less research on governance of the preceding stage of platform development prior to market launch. This paper proposes that the avalanche game is an appropriate metaphor for this. A typical platform development process is outlined and the...conference paper 2016

Sobota, V.C.M. (author), Ortt, J.R. (author), van de Kaa, G. (author), van Beers, Cees (author)Recent theoretical advances hold that platforms comprise a second strategic dimension next to size, called identity, which describes the platform's technological and market scope. Letting go of platform size as the main criterion for platform value opens the possibility for platforms to pursue differentiation strategies with a distinct market...conference paper 2023

Fixed effects regressions on a panel comprising two generations of consoles across six platforms show that the breadth of content...conference paper 2022

Mosterd, Lars (author), Sobota, V.C.M. (author), van de Kaa, G. (author), Ding, Aaron Yi (author), de Reuver, Mark (author)As digital platforms are dominating the digital economy, complex ecologies of platforms are emerging. While the openness of digital platforms is an important theme in platform studies, the openness between platforms has hardly been studied. This paper explores factors that affect decisions by platform owners to open their platforms to other...journal article 2022

Fulari, Sameer Chandrakant (author), van de Kaa, G. (author)This paper focuses on committee–market standards battles for the case of vehicle‐to‐grid technology in Europe. In this battle, standards such as CHArge de MOve (CHAdeMO) and Com-bined Charging System (CCS) Combo are competing. The paper identifies relevant factors with the help of a literature review and expert interviews. Furthermore, the...journal article 2021

Hofman, Björn (author), de Vries, G. (author), van de Kaa, G. (author)Climate change is one of the biggest challenges of this century. To contain its effects, the way we act would have to change significantly. Especially in the building sector, much progress can be made. Attempts have been made to stimulate sustainable behavior in the industry, for example, by implementing sustainable building measures in...journal article 2022

(author)Automated vehicles (AVs) aim to dramatically improve traffic safety by reducing or eliminating human error, which remains the leading cause of road crashes. However, commonly accepted standards for the ‘safe driving behaviour of machines’ are pending and urgently needed. Unless a common understanding of safety as a design value is achieved,...journal article 2022

This paper aimed to establish which of the two alternative design choices has the highest chance of dominance and which factors affect that. We treated this problem as a battle...journal article 2022

van de Kaa, G. (author)An important component of sustainable home energy systems is the self-sufficient generation and usage of energy. Although sustainable solutions to both generation and usage of energy in homes have been extensively studied in the past, the storage of energy has only scarcely been studied. This paper focuses specifically on thermal energy...journal article 2021
