van de Kaa, G. (author), de Bruijn, J.A. (author)This paper studies the organizational hiccups that can occur during the development of technological platforms for complex ICT systems and focuses on an important part of the ICT ecosystem; committees that develop common ICT platforms. Given the diverging interests of the parties involved, it is surprising that consensus is usually reached in...journal article 2015

van de Kaa, G. (author), Rezaei, J. (author), Kamp, L.M. (author), de Winter, A (author)This paper focuses on standards battles for photovoltaic technological systems. Five photovoltaic technologies are currently commercially available and it is still unclear which of these technologies will emerge as the dominant design. Based on the literature and on expert interviews, we develop and analyze categories and factors for technology...journal article 2014

den Hartigh, E (author), Ortt, J.R. (author), van de Kaa, G. (author), Stolwijk, C.C.M. (author)We conduct a case study of the battle for market dominance between the industry platforms led by Apple and by IBM in the early personal computer industry (1977–1986). Platform leaders such as Apple or IBM need to consider many technological, strategic, and network factors in managing their industry platforms. We explore how platform leaders...journal article 2016

van de Kaa, G. (author), de Vries, H.J. (author)The outcome of battles between competing interface formats shapes technology fields and implies success or failure for the companies involved. Recently, this journal published a paper, which proposes a new framework of factors that impact the outcome of such battles. We apply this framework to three format battles: for wired connectivity in home...journal article 2014

van den Ende, J (author), van de Kaa, G. (author), den Uijl, S (author), de Vries, H.J. (author)The literature has dedicated significant attention to the effects of standard-supporting, interorganizational networks on the content of standards and standard survival. However, minimal attention has been paid to the effects of the standard’s characteristics and dynamics on these networks. This paper contributes to closing this gap. We...journal article 2012

van de Kaa, G. (author), Hartog, F. (author), de Vries, H.J. (author)In this study, we apply a step-by-step approach for the identification of standards for home networking. We develop a classification and we use this classification to categorize sixty-four (sets of) standards. By developing this categorization, we have brought order to the chaos of home networking standards.journal article 2009

van de Kaa, G. (author), Greeven, M (author), van Puijenbroek, G (author)Research on standards battles primarily focus on battles that occur in developed economies. In this research we focus on standards battles in China. In particular, we analyse two cases in which, in China, two competing domestic standards were developed in response to international standards but where the domestic standards do not get diffused in...journal article 2013

van de Kaa, G. (author), van den Ende, J (author), de Vries, H.J. (author)This paper focuses on technology battles that are fought in network industries. The literature primarily focuses on battles that have occurred in single industries. With the convergence of industries, products that originate from different industries can be connected in technological systems, and battles are fought over standards for these...journal article 2015

Qiu, Peng (author), Nunes, Breno (author), Vaidya, Kirit (author), van de Kaa, G. (author), Greeven, Mark (author)This paper investigates the energy service companies (ESCOs) in China from the perspective of technological capability (TC) development. The conventional capability development model of manufacturing in emerging economies has been adapted to examine the four dimensions of TC (investment, production, linkage and innovation) through a qualitative...journal article 2021

van de Kaa, G. (author), Kamp, L.M. (author)This paper is about Airborne Wind Energy Systems, a promising new wind power generating system that, although technologically possible to realize, is not available on the market yet. Currently, many different technological options for the systems are being developed. One question for such systems is where to position the generator, on the...journal article 2021

van de Kaa, G. (author), Stoccuto, S. (author), Valladolid Calderon, C.E. (author)In recent years, awareness and concern about global warming from fossil fuels have notably grown. This process of global warming can, in part, be circumvented by the usage of renewable energy technology in homes. Two protocols exist that can realize wireless communications between sensors and electrical appliances on the one hand and the...journal article 2021

(author), de Reuver, Mark (author)In the data economy, data sovereignty is often conceptualized as data providers’ ability to control their shared data. While control is essential, the current literature overlooks how this facet interrelates with other sovereignty facets and contextual conditions. Drawing from social contract theory and insights from 31 expert interviews, we...journal article 2024

Meijer, A. (author), Wiarda, M.J. (author), Doorn, N. (author), van de Kaa, G. (author)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...journal article 2023
