Reviews

This book gives us an excellent feel for the current state of play in the field of trust in organizational studies in general, particularly as regards the study of inter-organizational relations. Organization Studies 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.
