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-organizational and inter- organizational 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. The paper provides a substantial list of references on this subject. |
