| Title: | The Embeddedness of Technological Systems |

| Abstract: | Technological systems are shaped both by forces arising from the
technical environment of product markets and those arising from the
institutional environment of compatibility standards. We explore how it
might be possible for standards to simultaneously enable activities in
the technical environment and not constrain them. Such a scenario is
possible when the technical environment is not completely embedded in
the standards that shape them. We characterize such technological
systems as being "just" embedded. |
