Description

Transportation Networks and Logistics 4.0 work on the basis of integrated systems. These systems are enabled by standards which are widely used for the communication between IT-Systems. Due to individual requirements, standards are customized by companies. The extent of individualization has not yet been investigated. Therefore, we applied an empirical analysis on two mature logistic communication standards to identify the standard-application gap by calculating the interoperability between the applied standards. Within these results, we expand the standardization theory by simulating the network effects and the standard diffusion and quantify the impact of the company specific individualization of logistic standards. The identified findings help to improve the standard diffusion model and to improve the development of logistic standards.

What is the impact of company specific adjustments on the acceptance and diffusion of logistic standards?
