	abstract = {Institutional entrepreneurship implicit in a firm{\textquoteright}s sponsorship of its technology as a common standard is beset by several challenges. These challenges arise from a standard{\textquoteright}s property to enable and constrain even as potential competitors agree to cooperate on its creation. Our exploration of Sun Microsystems{\textquoteright}s sponsorship of its Java technology suggests that standards-in-the-making generate seeds of self-destruction. Our study also identifies the social and political skills that a sponsor deploys to address these challenges.},

	month = {Unspecified},
	abstract = {An integral part of competition is to deny rivals access to proprietary technical knowledge. Yet, SUN Microsystems provides rivals with easy access to its technical knowledge and encourages them to enter its workstation market. This paper employs theoretical insights on technological systems and network externalities to understand SUN{\textquoteright}s open systems strategy. The paper also explores the changing nature of competition in network industries.},
