| Abstract | Research on forms of coordination emphasizes the distinction between markets, hierarchies, and networks. Recently, a new form of coordination has attracted attention: voluntary standards which often are certified by third parties. The paper focuses on the dynamic interplay between standards and other coordination modes. On the basis of an illustrative case study the historical development of the fair trade sector – it is shown that institutionalized forms of coordination can lead to further forms of coordination. As a consequence, we find a multiplication of coordination mechanisms. The case, thus, illustrates that coordination modes may be related to each other not just in competitive ways. |
