This original book is the first to offer a wide-ranging study of trust within and between organizations from the perspective of several social and management sciences. The specially commissioned contributions, many from well-known experts combine theoretical analysis of problems around trust with empirical study in a range of different organizations in contexts such as China, Japan, India, the US, as well as several European countries. The wide theoretical scope, together with the range of organizational settings and the rich empirical detail of behavior around trust and opportunism, make this an important and instructive volume.

Editorial Reviews

Review

An excellent and comprehensive approach to the study of trust. The book offers a wide and well argued series of articles on trust and the degree to which it affects business effectiveness, An excellent treatment of the subject with some interesting lessons for those academics, consultants and practicioners who think that there is only one viable model of interfirm relationship. - Peter Stannack. - Supply Management - 13/05/99

`The book is clear and engaging, targeted at an academic audience but suitable also for practitioners and general interest given some basic knowledge of organisation science and proclivity for concepts.' Personnel Review, Vol. 32 No. 5.
