The Structure of Optimal Trust: A Comment and Some Extensions
回应《管理学会评论》上关于最优信任结构的文章,指出信任与互惠、机会主义等概念相互关联,并认为信任逻辑可数学化,对商业信任研究有启发。
The article presents a response to an article in an earlier issue of “Academy of Management Review” from Wicks, Berman, and Jones on the structure of optimal trust. The authors appreciate the article's strengthening of the bond between trust theory and the practical business world, but feel that two issues have been left out of the discussion. The authors assert that trust is part of an interconnected group of concepts, such as reciprocity, opportunism, and forebearance. Additionally, the authors contend that the logic of trust can be framed mathematically. Trust in the business context is a field that is ripe for further study.
