The document discusses standards battles in mobile payments and the emergence of a dominant design. It describes how in 2015 there was no single dominant mobile payment system, and Apple, Samsung, and a joint venture between other companies were developing competing systems using near-field communication (NFC) technology. These systems allowed contactless payments using existing credit card networks. However, the lack of one dominant standard led to a battle among the different mobile payment mechanisms.
By 2014, there were 6.6 billion mobile phone subscriptions in the world, and of those, 2.3 billion had active mobile broadband subscriptions that would enable users to access the mobile web.a Mobile payment systems offered the potential of enabling all of these users to perform financial transactions on their phones, similar to how they would perform those transactions using personal computers. However, in 2015, there was no dominant mobile payment system, and a battle among competing mobile payment mechanisms and standards was unfolding. In the United States, several large players, including Apple, Samsung, and a joint venture called Softcard between Google, AT&T, T-Mobile, and Verizon Wireless, had
developed systems based on Near Field Communication (NFC) chips in smartphones. NFC chips enable communication between a mobile device and a point-of-sale system just by having the devices in close proximity.b The systems being developed by Apple, Samsung, and Softcard transferred the customer’s information wirelessly and then used merchant banks and credit card systems such as Visa or MasterCard to complete the transaction. These systems were thus very much like existing ways of
using credit cards but enabled completion of the purchase without contact.

Standards Battles and Design Dominance
There was no dominant mobile payment system in 2015 and a battle was unfolding among competing standards in the US. Apple, Samsung, and a joint venture between Google, AT&T, T-Mobile, and Verizon had developed mobile payment systems using Near Field Communication (NFC) chips that transferred payment information wirelessly using existing credit card networks. However, no single standard had emerged as dominant.
By early 2015, mobile payments represented a major new opportunity but there was no dominant system and competing standards posed issues. Mobile payments accounted for $52 billion in 2014 and were expected to reach $67 billion in 2015. However, lack of compatibility between systems and uncertainty over which might dominate created obstacles to adoption. Industries with network effects like mobile payments often coalesce around a single dominant design, as the more a technology is adopted, the more valuable it becomes through learning and network effects. This can create self-reinforcing dominance regardless of a technology's initial quality.

This document discusses how dominant designs emerge in industries. It explains that many industries experience increasing returns to adoption, where the more a technology is used, the more valuable it becomes through improvements and complementary assets. Two primary sources of increasing returns are learning effects, where more usage enables greater development and efficiency, and network externalities, where a technology becomes more useful and valuable as more people use the same or compatible technology. The value of a new technology comes from its standalone benefits as well as the value added by the size of its user base and availability of complementary goods and services. However, in 2015 there was no single dominant mobile payment system as different technologies and standards were competing for adoption.

Standards battles and design dominanceRohanaDaulay
In 2015 there was no dominant mobile payment system and a battle was unfolding among competing standards. One reason dominant designs emerge is due to network effects where the value of a good increases as more people use it, like a telephone network. Government regulation has also contributed to dominant designs in industries like telecommunications by mandating compatibility standards. The value of new technologies depends on factors like customer productivity, simplicity, and image. Whether winner-take-all markets are good for consumers is debated, as compatibility has benefits but limits competition.
The document discusses strategies for deploying technological innovations, including:
1. Timing product launches can be an important deployment strategy, as illustrated by video game companies releasing new consoles in time for the Christmas season.
2. Pricing is also crucial, with objectives like maximizing profits or ensuring survival through covering costs.
3. Distribution methods like selling directly, using intermediaries, or partnering with distributors can accelerate adoption of an innovation. Building alliances and bundling with existing popular products helps the new technology gain traction.

Dominant design A single product or process architecture that dominates a product category—usually 50 percent or more of the market. A dominant design is a “de facto standard,” meaning that while it may not be officially enforced or acknowledged, it has become a standard for the industry.
Mobile payment systems using near field communication (NFC) chips in smartphones were being developed by several large players like Apple, Samsung, and Google to enable contactless payments. These systems transferred payment information wirelessly between devices near each other to complete transactions using existing credit card networks. A dominant design often emerges in an industry as the more widely adopted solution becomes more valuable and generates network effects from learning improvements and a larger user base that supports complementary products and services.

The document discusses standards battles in mobile payments between Apple, Samsung, and a joint venture called Softcard. It describes how these companies developed mobile payment systems using Near Field Communication (NFC) chips in smartphones to enable contactless payments. The systems transferred payment information wirelessly using existing credit card networks like Visa or MasterCard to complete transactions without physical card contact. The document then discusses why dominant designs are selected in markets and how network effects can lead to a self-reinforcing mechanism that increases the dominance of the leading technology standard.
The document discusses competing mobile payment systems using near field communication (NFC) chips in smartphones. Major players like Apple, Samsung, and a joint venture between Google, AT&T, T-Mobile, and Verizon had developed systems to enable contactless payments at point-of-sale by transferring payment credentials from mobile devices. These systems functioned similarly to existing credit card payments. The document then discusses how dominant designs emerge in industries and how network effects can reinforce a technology's dominance as more users and complementary assets are adopted.
The document discusses how positive feedback effects can drive markets towards a single dominant technology or firm. It explains that in network markets, the value of a technology increases as more users adopt it. This can lead to tipping, where a small initial advantage accumulates into dominance. Firms must consider strategies around compatibility versus performance and openness versus control to leverage these network effects in their favor. The key tradeoffs are around ease of adoption versus technological leadership and industry cooperation versus proprietary control.
This document discusses increasing returns to adoption for technologies. It explains that as a technology is adopted more, it becomes more valuable due to learning effects and network externality effects. These increasing returns can lead to winner-take-all markets where one company dominates. The value of a technology depends both on its standalone qualities and how widely it is adopted. Customers consider both objective information and subjective perceptions, so managing perceptions is important for firms. Whether a technology dominates depends on the level of market share needed to realize network externality benefits.

Several large tech companies had developed mobile payment systems using near field communication (NFC) chips in smartphones to enable contactless payments. These systems allowed customers to complete purchases using credit cards or other payment methods without physical contact by transferring payment details wirelessly. However, the document discusses how network effects and complementary assets can lead to a dominant design becoming widely adopted in a market over competing technologies due to self-reinforcing mechanisms, regardless of a technology's inherent superiority.
1. A first mover may gain advantages like brand loyalty, technological leadership, and access to scarce resources, but also faces higher risks and costs from bearing R&D expenses and uncertainty over customer needs.
2. The optimal timing of entry depends on factors like the innovation advantage, availability of complements, customer expectations, competitive threats, and presence of increasing returns.
3. Managing entry timing well is complex, as first movers may establish dominance but also face higher failure rates than followers capitalizing on their efforts.
The value of any technological innovation is only partly determined by what the tech-nology can do. A large part of the value of an innovation is determined by the degree to which people can understand it, access it, and integrate it within their lives. Effective deployment strategies can reduce uncertainty about the product, lower resistance to switching from competing or substitute goods, and accelerate adoption.
In the 1960s, Stanley Milgram addressed a number of letters to a friend of his, a stockbroker in Boston. Milgram then distributed these letters to a random selection of people in Nebraska. He instructed the individuals to pass the letters to the addressee by sending them to a person they knew on a first-name basis who seemed in some way closer (socially, geographically, etc.) to the stockbroker. This person would then do the same, until the letters reached their final destination
CTRM - The Next Generation - ComTechAdvisory Vendor Technical UpdateCTRM Center
There is no doubt that technology has undergone a sea-change over the last decade or so potentially making it possible to build and deploy software faster and more cost-effectively while offering a host of features that help users to work smarter, faster and with less opportunity for error. Additionally, the way that applications are designed and built has also changed to take better advantage of these technologies. While arguably there is no single technology that facilitates a paradigm shift in Commodity Trading and Risk Management (CTRM) software, when you combine advances in all areas of solution development and deployment technology, then such a leap forward is both likely and desirable.
Nowhere is the gap between the possibilities offered by these leaps in technology and what is available as commercial solutions more apparent than in the commodity trading and risk management software category. There are many aging, legacy, solutions still being utilized, marketed, and deployed and yet, this is an industry that is experiencing unprecedented demands and change, which in turn, are placing increasing demands on the software it utilizes. What most commodity firms are seeking is more agile software platforms that can allow them to adapt and evolve through these changes. This growing demand is also accentuated by the younger, more tech-savvy people entering the business whose expectations are not being met by many existing solutions.
The document discusses the evolution of Energy Trading and Risk Management (ETRM) systems over the past 20 years. It highlights how newer ETRM solutions focus more on system architecture and design compared to older solutions. The document then summarizes Contigo's approach to ETRM system design, which emphasizes principles like modularity, integration capabilities, and a time-series data architecture to enable rapid implementation and flexibility.

Standardization in a Digital and Global World: State-of-the-Art and Future Pe...Ian McCarthy
We discuss how the standards emerge from an interaction between three main sources, the standards standard-setting organizations (SSOs), the competitive market forces, and the government. We present a framework (see Table I) that highlights how these sources differ and work together to shape the standardization in a digital and global context. Also, using this framework, we introduce the contribution of each article of this issue and their contribution to some of the major issues that the standardization is facing today in a digital and global world. We conclude with the suggestions of avenues for future research on this topic.

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

2. A Battle
Emerging in
Mobile
Payments
By 2014, there were 6.6 billion mobile phone subscriptions in the world,
and of those, 2.3 billion had active mobile broadband subscriptions that
would enable users to access the mobile web.a Mobile payment systems
offered the potential of enabling all of these users to perform financial
transactions on their phones, similar to how they would perform those
transactions using personal computers. However, in 2015, there was no
dominant mobile payment system, and a battle among competing mobile
payment mechanisms and standards was unfolding. In the United States,
several large players, including Apple, Samsung, and a joint venture called
Softcard between Google, AT&T, T-Mobile, and Verizon Wireless, had
developed systems based on Near Field Communication (NFC) chips in
smartphones. NFC chips enable communication between a mobile device
and a point-of-sale system just by having the devices in close proximity.b
The systems being developed by Apple, Samsung, and Softcard
transferred the customer’s information wirelessly and then used merchant
banks and credit card systems such as Visa or MasterCard to complete the
transaction. These systems were thus very much like existing ways of
using credit cards but enabled completion of the purchase without contact.
3. OVERVIEW
The previous chapter described recurrent patterns in technological innovation, and
one of those patterns was the emergence of a dominant design. As Anderson and
Tushman pointed out, the technology cycle almost invariably exhibits a stage in
which the industry selects a dominant design. Once this design is selected,
producers and customers focus their efforts on improving their efficiency in
manufacturing, delivering, marketing, or deploying this dominant design, rather
than continue to develop and consider alternative designs. In this chapter, we first
will examine why industries experience strong pressure to select a single
technology design as dominant. We then will consider the multiple dimensions of
value that will shape which technology designs rise to dominance.
4. WHY
DOMINANT
DESIGNSARE
SELECTED
Why do many markets coalesce around a single dominant design
rather than support a variety of technological options? One
primary reason is that many industries exhibit increasing returns
to adoption, meaning that the more a technology is adopted, the
more valuable it becomes.1 Complex technologies often exhibit
increasing returns to adoption in that the more they are used, the
more they are improved. A technology that is adopted usually
generates revenue that can be used to further develop and refine
the technology. Furthermore, as the technology is used, greater
knowledge and understanding of the technology accrue, which
may then enable improvements both in the technology itself and
in its applications. Finally, as a technology becomes more widely
adopted, complementary assets are often developed that are
specialized to operate with the technology. These effects can
result in a self-reinforcing mechanism that increases the
dominance of a technology regardless of its superiority or
inferiority to competing technologies. Two of the primary sources
of increasing returns are (1) learning effects and (2) network
externalities.
5. Learning
Effects
Ample empirical evidence shows that the more a technology is used, the more it is
developed and the more effective and efficient it becomes.2 As a technology is
adopted, it generates sales revenues that can be reinvested in further developing and
refining the technology. Furthermore, as firms accumulate experience with the
technology, they find ways to use the technology more productively, including
developing an organizational context that improves the implementation of the
technology. Thus, the more a technology is adopted, the better it should become.
One example of learning effects is manifest in the impact of cumulative production
on cost and productivity—otherwise known as the learning curve. As individuals
and producers repeat a process, they learn to make it more efficient, often producing
new technological solutions that may enable them to reduce input costs or waste
rates. Organizational learning scholars typically model the learning curve as a
function of cumulative output: Performance increases, or cost decreases, with the
number of units of production, usually at a decreasing rate (see Figure 4.3). For
example, in studies of industries as diverse as aircraft production and pizza
franchises, researchers have consistently found that the cost of producing a unit (for
example, a pizza or an airplane) falls as the number of units produced increases.
6. absorptive
capacity
The abilityof an
organization to
recognize,
assimilate,
and utilize
new knowledge.
Prior Learning and Absorptive Capacity A firm’s investment in
prior learning can accelerate its rate of future learning by building
the firm’s absorptive capacity.7 Absorptive capacity refers to the
phenomenon whereby as firms accumulate knowledge, they also
increase their future ability to assimilate information. A firm’s prior
related experience shapes its ability to recognize the value of new
information, and to utilize that information effectively. For example,
in developing a new technology, a firm will often try a number of
unsuccessful configurations or techniques before finding a solution
that works well. This experimentation builds a base of knowledge in
the firm about how key components behave, what alternatives are
more likely to be successful than others, what types of projects the
firm is most successful at, and so on. This knowledge base enables
the firm to more rapidly assess the value of related new materials,
technologies, and methods. The effects of absorptive capacity
suggest that firms that develop new technologies ahead of others
may have an advantage in staying ahead. Firms that forgo
investment in technology development may find it very difficult or
expensive to develop technology in a subsequent period. This
explains, in part, why firms that fall behind the technology frontier
find it so difficult to catch up.
7. Network
Externalities
Many markets are characterized by network externalities, or positive consumption
externalities.8 In a market characterized by network externalities, the benefit from
using a good increases with the number of other users of the same good. The classic
examples of markets demonstrating network externality effects are those involving
physical networks, such as railroads or telecommunications. Railroads are more
valuable as the size of the railroad network (and therefore the number of available
destinations) increases. Similarly, a telephone is not much use if only a few people
can be called with it—the amount of utility the phone provides is directly related to
the size of the network. Network externalities can also arise in markets that do not
have physical networks. For example, a user’s benefit from using a good may
increase with the number of users of the same good when compatibility is
important. The number of users of a particular technology is often referred to as its
installed base. A user may choose a computer platform based on the number of
other users of that platform, rather than on the technological benefits of a particular
platform, because it increases the ease of exchanging files. For example, many
people choose a computer that uses the Windows operating system and an Intel
microprocessor because the “Wintel” (Windows and Intel) platform has the largest
installed base, thus maximizing the numberof people with which the user’s files will
be compatible. Furthermore, the user’s training in a particular platform becomes
more valuable as the size of the installed base of the platform increases. If the
user must invest considerable effort in learning to use a computer platform, the
user will probably choose to invest this effort in learning the format he or she
believes will be most widely used.
8. Government
Regulation
In some industries, the consumer welfare benefits of having compatibility among
technologies have prompted government regulation, and thus a legally induced
adherence to a dominant design.This has often been the case for the utilities,
telecommunications, and television industries, to name a few.10 For example, in
1953 the U.S. Federal Communications Commission (FCC) approved the National
Television Systems Committee (NTSC) color standard in television broadcasting
to ensure that individuals with monochrome television sets would be able to
receive the color television programs broadcast by networks (though they would
see them in black and white).That standard was still in place in 2003. Similarly, in
1998, while a battle was being fought in the United States over wireless
technology formats, the European Union (EU) adopted a single wireless
telephone standard (the general standard for mobile communications, or GSM).
By choosing a uniform standard, the EU could avoid the proliferation of
incompatible
9. The Result:
Winner-Take-
All Markets
All these forces can encourage the market toward natural monopolies. While
some alternative platforms may survive by focusing on niche markets, the
majority of the market may be dominated by a single (or few) design(s). A firm
that is able to lock in its technology as the dominant design of a market usually
earns huge rewards and may dominate the product category through several
product generations.
10. MULTIPLE
DIMENSIONS
OFVALUE
1. A Technology’s Stand-Alone Value
The value a new technology offers to customers can be driven by many
different things, such as the functions it enables the customer to perform, its
aesthetic qualities, and its ease of use. To help managers identify the different
aspects of utility a new technology offers customers, W. Chan Kim and Renee
Mauborgne developed a “Buyer Utility Map.”15 They argue that it is important to
consider six different utility levers, as well as six stages of the buyer experience
cycle, to understand a new technology’s utility to a buyer.
2. Network Externality Value
In industries characterized by network externalities, the value of a technological
innovation to users will be a function not only of its stand-alone benefits and cost,
but also of the value created by the size of its installed base and the availability of
complementary goods (see Figure 4.6(a)).
11. MULTIPLE
DIMENSIONS
OFVALUE
3. Competing for Design Dominance in Markets with Network Externalities
Graphs illustrate how differing technological utilities and network externality returns
to installed base or market share impact the competition for design dominance. The
following figures examine whether network externalities create pressure for a single
dominant design versus a few dominant designs by considering the rate at which
value increases with the size of the installed base, and how large of an installed base
is necessary before most of the network externality benefits are achieved. As
explained earlier, when an industry has network externalities, the value of a good to a
user increases with the number of other users of the same or similar good. However,
it is rare that the value goes up linearly—instead, the value is likely to increase in an
s-shape as shown
in Figure 4.8(a).
4Are Winner-Take-All Markets Good for Consumers?.
Traditionally, economics has emphasized the consumer welfare benefits of
competitive markets; however, increasing returns make this a complicated issue. This
is exemplified by the antitrust suits brought against Microsoft.
12. Summary
of
Chapter
1. Many technologies demonstrate increasing returns to adoption, meaning
that the more they are adopted, the more valuable they become.
2. One primary source of increasing returns is learning-curve effects.The more a
technology is produced and used, the better understood and developed it
becomes, leading to improved performance and reduced costs.
3. Another key factor creating increasing returns is network externality effects.
Network externality effects arise when the value of a good to a user increases
with the size of the installed base.This can be due to a number of reasons, such
as need for compatibility or the availability of complementary goods.
4. In some industries, the consumer welfare benefits of having a single standard
have prompted government regulation, such as the European Union’s mandate
to use the GSM cellular phone standard.
5. Increasing returns can lead to winner-take-all markets where one or a few
companies capture nearly all the market share.
13. Summary
of
Chapter
6.The value of a technology to buyers is multidimensional.The
stand-alone value of a technology can include many factors
(productivity, simplicity, etc.) and themtechnology’s cost. In
increasing returns industries, the value will also be significantly
affected by the technology’s installed base and availability of
complementary goods.
7. Customers weigh a combination of objective and subjective
information.Thus, a customer’s perceptions and expectations
of a technology can be as important as (or more important
than) the actual value offered by the technology.
8. Firms can try to manage customers’ perceptions and
expectations through advertising and public announcements
of preorders, distribution agreements, and so on.
9.The combination of network externality returns to market
share and technological utility will influence at what level of
market share one technology will dominate another. For some
industries, the full network externality benefits are attained at
a minority market share level; in these industries, multiple
designs are likely to coexist.
