Handbook of Advances in Trust Research (Research Handbooks in Business and Management series) - Softcover

`Overall, this is an interesting and relevant publication. Central themes of control, monitoring, structure and process intertwine across chapters, making it a coherent, balanced piece of work that reflects the efforts of the trust community to pull towards more convergent conceptualisations and measurement after a number of objections regarding the fragmented nature of prior research.' -- Journal of Consumer Policy
