| Synopsis: |
'The volume addresses an interesting and important topic indeed, of substantial relevance to scholars of trust, entrepreneurship, international management, and organizational networks...Especially valuable are the insights the book provides into the impact of cultural and legal institutions as supporting and constraining entrepreneurship. The editors are to be particularly congratulated for avoiding simplistic answers, and facing up to the complexity and context-specificity of trust at the micro, meso and macro-level.' - Sarah Drakopoulou Dodd, International Small Business Journal. 'This volume ...is a welcome addition to the literature on trust, which has rarely explored international differences in experience...The scene for this fascinating volume is very well set by the first conceptual chapter on trust...This book is exciting because of its discussion of international diversity...an important contribution to the entrepreneurship literature and with profound insights for business history on which parts of the book draws.' - Mary B. Rose, Business History.'The potential of evolutionary ideas to explain the development of crucial institutional features of a well-functioning market economy is one of the most important insights of modern institutional economics. In this excellent collection of papers, theoretical and empirical aspects of the connection between trust and entrepreneurship are explored in the context of both transition and mature market economies. The book represents a very significant contribution to the study of the institutional prerequisites of economic development.' - Martin Ricketts, University of Buckingham, UK. 'Free market ideology claims that entrepreneurship thrives on competition, but cooperation and trust are also important in fostering business growth. Where legal institutions are weak, corruption and criminal enterprise can flourish. Honest businessmen have to rely on personal networks, increasing the risk of collusion. This path-breaking book explores the "light" and "dark" sides of trust. By comparing transition economies with mature market economies, the authors highlight the crucial contribution of trust to business performance.' - Mark Casson, University of Reading, UK.In this innovative book, international scholars investigate trust and its role in relation to the entrepreneurial behaviour of small firms across a variety of institutional and cultural settings. The contributors draw on original empirical material from a number of West European and East European countries, highlighting the role of culture and the significance of a multi-disciplinary approach in researching trust and its importance in entrepreneurship. Including detailed comparative studies, the book will appeal to researchers, students and practitioners interested in trust within and between small firms and in different environments. Those interested in issues surrounding the development of post-socialist economies will also find the book to be of great interest. |
