“…Past research has argued that when market and hierarchy govern a transaction relationship imperfectly, trust become a useful mechanism for lubricating the transaction (Ouchi, 1980;Coleman, 1990). Trust, a decision to rely on another party under the condition of risk (Currall and Inkpen, 2002), is a powerful coordination mechanism that complements market and hierarchy (Uzzi, 1996(Uzzi, , 1997Adler, 2001;Hall and Soskice, 2001;Hödl and Puck, 2014). It can be generated from three sources: direct interpersonal contact, a reputation gained from other trusted actors in the network, and institutions that shape others' behavior (Coleman, 1990;Adler, 2001).…”

Purpose Although multinational enterprises (MNEs) based in emerging economies arose quickly during the past decade, most of these firms lack marketing capabilities and strong brands. Emerging-economy MNEs that have tried to build their own brands have been largely unsuccessful. The purpose of this paper is to argue that corruption in the MNEs’ home countries has been detrimental to their brand values. Corruption makes it more difficult for consumers to govern their transactions with local firms, thus decreasing firms’ trustworthiness and brand values. Design/methodology/approach Data of the global top 500 most valuable brands of 2008 and 2014 and the Poisson regression model are used. Findings This study finds that firms based in countries with lower levels of corruption establish more valuable brands than those based in countries with higher corruption, even when GDP and GDP per capita are controlled. Practical implications Policymakers who want to help local firms increase their marketing capabilities and establish strong brands should strive to increase the trustworthiness of local firms by undertaking anti-corruption reforms aimed at protecting consumers. Originality/value Few studies have address the research question that why emerging-market MNEs lack marketing capabilities and strong brands. This study finds that institutional factors such as corruption at country level prevent them from establishing strong brands.

“…As the starting point for sourcers and sourcees, building swift trust and eliminating scepticism about opportunism is essential. Control mechanisms can reduce the threat of opportunism and governance costs (Hödl & Puck, 2014), so CIs should establish formal control mechanisms to develop swift trust in the Internet environment. Our case study shows that the CI failed to provide the necessary formal control mechanisms to promote swift trust.…”

Inter-organizational governance and trilateral trust building: a case study of crowdsourcing-based open innovation in China

In a case study of a Chinese crowdsourcing intermediary, we explore the impact of inter-organizational governance on trilateral trust-building. We show that formal control and relational governance mechanisms are essential for swift and knowledge-based trust in R&D crowdsourcing. The case also indicates that Chinese businesses continue to use guanxi (informal personal connections) as a relational and contingent mechanism to maintain affect-based trust, but guanxi is shown to inhibit the growth of Internet-based crowdsourcing for open innovation in China

“…When a partner perceived to be engaging in a rightful (nonopportunistic) behaviour for a mutually beneficial long-term relationship, this will lead to a positive response by the other partner through higher level of trust in their dealings. Ultimately, a trust in partner helps not only to reduce the risk of opportunistic behaviour (Hödl & Puck, 2014) (Madhok, 2006), but also reduces cost-relating factors in dealing with the likelihood of opportunism (Dyer, 1997).…”

Zakat collection from Moslem business owners who pay their zakat through the zakat institutions are still very low and a huge potential is untapped from the business zakat payment that either goes directly to the recipients or simply unpaid. The objective of this paper is to propose a research conceptual framework for examining the trust towards zakat institution from the Moslem business owners' point of view. Antecedents to trust namely shared value, communication, non-opportunistic behavior and perception on distribution of zakat, among Moslem business owners are hypothesized to provide grounds for discussion in future research.
