Abstract

Network enterprises are more and more present on the market today. They are recognized for their remarkable economic and social outcomes. Trust is the basis for building network of enterprises. A great investment of time and money is being done in order to stabilize a network and consolidate the trust between its partners. On the other hand, trust is an uncertain concept. This paper aims to show the high importance of trust for various types of networks (collaborative, innovation, learning and knowledge transfer, virtual) and even for clusters. The notion of trust is also analysed in strong connection with distrust and opportunism.
