3RD WORKSHOP ON TRUST WITHIN AND BETWEEN ORGANISATIONS
AMSTERDAM, THE NETHERLANDS, OCTOBER 27-28, 2005.
http://www.eiasm.org/frontoffice/event_announcement.asp?event_id=391#552
In the past decade, issues of trust in inter- and intra-organisational
relationships have been increasing in importance on the agendas of
organisational scholars, legitimated by changes in the social structure
of societies, economic exchange relations and organisational forms. Due
to deterioration in the binding power of reciprocal obligations, of
hierarchical relations and of social institutions relying on hierarchy
to sanction deviant behaviour, other mechanisms seem to be required to
support co-operative behaviour in interactions. Within firms, lateral
relationships and alliances are growing in importance, while new
linkages between firms are being formed to achieve and maintain
competitive advantage in the marketplace. In network forms and
alliances, organisational performance becomes increasingly dependent on
trustful relations between individuals and groups. A related development
is the globalisation and virtualisation of markets and relations within
and between organisations. Emerging 'new communities' like virtual teams
and global business networks may bring new problems and related trust
requirements that permanently challenge current insights within the
field.
