Abstract

Companies’ interorganizational relationships often include engagement in multi-firm forums, yet little is known about how they choose these networks. We investigate decision criteria in a standardization context where this strategic choice may determine firms’ ability to shape markets through standards. We derive hypotheses about decision criteria related to actors in the forum and its governance from three theory streams (networks, multi-sided markets, forum shopping). We test these hypotheses in a qualitative pre-test and a choice experiment with 141 standardization professionals in the Internet of Things field. Our results contribute to the literature on interorganizational relationships by indicating what firms value in collaboration forums and how they weigh decision criteria.
