Trust in European-Japanese R&D partnerships: a case study
by Caroline Mothe, Marc Ingham
International Journal of Technology Management (IJTM), Vol. 24, No. 4, 2002

Abstract: Empirical studies on trust remain relatively rare, especially in the area of cooperation in R&D in high technology activities. This article aims at partially fulfilling this gap. Starting with a brief synthesis of the literature dedicated to trust in cooperations, on interpersonal, intra-organisational and inter-organisational levels, an exploratory longitudinal study has been undertaken on the field to enhance the trust production mechanisms and their evolution. The case studies relate to the cooperation undertaken by a European firm with a Japanese company.
