| Tiivistelmä: | This paper clarifies how smaller and larger firms face difficulties in establishing trust in multipartner alliances. Using a survey data from a sample of 141 companies engaged in such alliances, curvilinear relationship between firm size and trust is explored. The results indicate an inverted U-shaped relationship between firm size and the degree to which a firm develops trust in partners. It is also found that effort to establish generzlized exchanges is important for trust building. |
