This study is to develop a standard competition model base on the Network Theory. And according to the case study about the operation system competition between ¡§Linux and Windows¡¨ to discuss the influence of ¡§open¡¨ and ¡§proprietary¡¨ strategy on the standard competition. The conclusions of this study are presented as follows: 1.All competitors of standard competition have to face the ¡§competition within the single technical network¡¨ and the ¡§competition between different technical networks¡¨. And those two competitions maybe happens simultaneously. 2.In the competition within the single technical network, the most important task to the competitor is to build up ¡§key network position¡¨. And the most important task to the competition between different technical networks is to make the connection between network members more rigidly, and that will makes the whole network become more competitive. 3.Strategy that more open is better to the ¡§competition within the single technical network¡¨. And strategy that more proprietary is better to the ¡§competition between different technical networks¡¨. And the optimal level of open or proprietary strategy depends on different situations.

The standard competition of system proucts has been an important issue from 1950s till today, such as the competitiom of Wireless Lan security protocol WAPI¡BDVD palyer standard and the competiton of TD-SCDMA of 3G system in telecommunication industry. The situation is becoming more and more complicated because of more integration of information and technological products.Recent years, Mainland China as a developing nation try to develop a new standard strategy model and to make the industrial standards belong to China. This paper discovers the major key factors that affect the abilities to join the standard competiton of developing countries. This paper discusses major standard competition related papers and find out five key factors that affect the abilities to join the standard competiton of developing countries: Technological Innovation abilities, entry timing, complementary products network, products installed base and government supporting. Use these five factors to analyze four important China cases od standard competiton.
