Dear All,

Only around six weeks to go.

You might want to start writing right away ........


I look forward to receiving many excellent papers.

Cheers,
Kai.




                            Call for Chapters

      'Strategic Management of Information Technology Standards'

edited by:
Richard Hawkins, Ken Krechmer, Kai Jakobs, Mostafa Hashem Sherif

to be published by IGP.


The book will use a non-prescriptive approach - i.e., it will not be a
'how to' book, but a 'why' book, to give professionals, academics, and
students insights into how to understand the impact of standards on IT
products and services, processes, and policies. It will, therefore, adopt
a very multi-disciplinary approach. Standardisation and, particularly,
current trends in standards research will be discussed from a multitude
of angles, including, but not limited to, computer science, information
science, telecommunications, business, economics, sociology, management,
technology studies, and law.

The editors plan to create a homogeneous book and not a collection of
disparate papers in various fields.

The book will be subdivided into the four main parts 'Background',
'Standardisation Environment', 'Management of Standards', and 'Evaluation
of Standards' (see below for a more detailed list of topics).

Manuscripts are solicited that address one or - better yet - several of
the topics listed below. Outlines of potential contributions may be
submitted for initial screening and feedback.

Please send enquiries, outlines, and contributions (preferrably in PDF or
RTF) to:
