Sloan School of Management Yates, JoAnne Yates, JoAnne Book Review This volume of the History of Technology series focuses on standardization, a subject of increasing interest across a range of disciplines. Editors Graeme Gooday and James Sumner have selected a diverse set of articles on standardization in the late nineteenth and twentieth centuries, centring primarily on electrical and information technologies. The chapters dealing with information technologies demonstrate readily recognizable processes of standardization. Some of the chapters on earlier electrical technologies open out the realm of standardization much more broadly, often stretching our conceptions of the process. 2012-01-04T19:40:57Z 2012-01-04T19:40:57Z 2010-09 Article http://purl.org/eprint/type/BookReview http://hdl.handle.net/1721.1/67898 Yates, JoAnne, and Craig N.
