Abstract: An enterprise's technology standardisation capability (TSC) plays an important role in building competitive advantage. Thus, under the 'technology-organisation-environment' (TOE) framework, this study empirically examines 1,234 Chinese industry standards to explore the influence of different factors on firms' TSC. More importantly, we propose a TSC measurement model based on patent and technical standard texts to accurately identify the differences in TSC among different companies. The results show that: 1) technology dependence (TD) affects enterprise TSC negatively, and there is a U-shaped relationship between technology complementarity (TC) and TSC; 2) the negative effect of technology dependence on enterprise TSC diminishes as organisational embeddedness (OE) increases; 3) in more competitive industries, enterprises need to increase technology complementarity more extensively to improve TSC; 4) there are differences in the effects of different factors on standardised and non-standardised active enterprises.
