Abstract :
This paper provides a list of factors that influence the outcome of standard battles. We have developed this list by performing a meta-analysis of 103 papers. An extensive literature study has revealed 31 factors which we have grouped under five categories: superior design, mechanisms, stakeholders, dominant agent, and strategy. We discuss the relations between the factors and we have applied the set of factors to an example of a standardization battle: the video case
