Description
Summary:In this chapter, we discuss when, how, and why trust and trustworthiness arise to support cooperation within and across organizations.

In addition, we identify building blocks of trust and trustworthiness and offer tangible insights about how to establish trusting and cooperative business/interorganizational relationships, based on both academic research and case studies from across industries.
