Normen bzw. Standards sind unterschätzte Teile von Modernisierung und Innovation. Sie wurden zudem lange als rein technische Angelegenheit betrachtet. Spätestens mit der Digitalisierung zeigt sich nun ihre ökonomische und politische Dimension. Dieses Buch betrachtet Normungs- und Standardisierungsansätze in Indien und China. Die Autoren aus Wissenschaft und Praxis analysieren die jeweiligen Kontexte und beleuchten exemplarisch konkrete Themenfelder. China verfolgt konsequent einen zentralen Plan mit einer geordneten Institutionenlandschaft.

In today''s digital era, the significance of standards in modernization and innovation cannot be overstated. Often overlooked as purely technical aspects, they today reveal their profound economic and political impact. Focusing on India and China, this book sheds light onto the standardization approaches of these two dynamic nations.

With insights from both academic and practical perspectives, this book shows how China''s centralized planning and structured institutions contrast with India''s emerging hybrid model, which reflects its rich diversity. Both countries possess untapped technological potential that is poised to reshape the global standardization landscape.

What do these developments mean for the German and European economies? Find out in the concluding chapters as the authors explore the implications of these standardization trends on a global scale. This book is essential reading for professionals navigating the ever-evolving intersection of modernization, innovation, and global standards, as well as for researchers interested in a better understanding of standardization strategies.
