Abbas, A.E. (author), van Velzen, Thomas (author), Ofe, H.A. (author), van de Kaa, G. (author), Zuiderwijk-van Eijk, A.M.G. (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

Hoogerbrugge, Coen (author), van de Kaa, G. (author), Chappin, E.J.L. (author)This paper studies factors for the adoption of quality standards. The identified factors are applied to a typical example of such a standard; a new standardized measurement and calculation methodology for corporate greenhouse gas inventories. Standardization of these methodologies fosters innovation, as it will provide innovators and regulators...journal article 2023

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

van Haersma Buma, Bernhard N.D. (author), Peretto, Marco (author), Matar, Ziad M. (author), van de Kaa, G. (author)This paper focuses on the battle for a dominant design for renewable hydrogen electrolysis in which the designs, alkaline and proton exchange membrane, compete for dominance. First, a literature review is performed to determine the most relevant factors that influence technology dominance. Following that, a Best Worst Method analysis is...journal article 2023

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

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

Papadimitriou, E. (author), Farah, H. (author), van de Kaa, G. (author), Santoni De Sio, F. (author), Hagenzieker, Marjan (author), van Gelder, P.H.A.J.M. (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

van der Burg, S. (author), Jurg, M.F.M. (author), Tadema, F.M. (author), Kamp, L.M. (author), van de Kaa, G. (author)This paper focuses on the design of the wings used in airborne wind energy systems. At the moment, two different designs are being developed: soft wings and rigid wings. 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

Wiarda, M.J. (author), van de Kaa, G. (author), Doorn, N. (author), Yaghmaei, E. (author)Standardisation is increasingly seen as a means to insert ethics in innovation processes. We examine the institutionalisation of responsible innovation in de jure standardisation as this is an important but unexplored research area. In de jure standardisation, stakeholders collaborate in committees to develop standards. We adopt the anticipation...journal article 2022

Riillo, Cesare Antonio F. (author), Allamano-Kessler, Renaud (author), Asnafi, Nader (author), Fomin, Vladislav V. (author), van de Kaa, G. (author)Standards may be arrived at through various coordination mechanisms, including cooperation, coopetition, or competition. This article explores how technological uncertainty affects the coordination mechanism for standardization. The article is based on the Community Innovation Survey, a sizeable firm-level survey representative of the...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

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
