Trust and Risk Management:

Increasingly in the networked economy, communications, collaborations, research, education, transactions, sales, marketing and industrial system controls are more and more being conducted over the internet. As a result, Trust becomes increasingly pivotal to the enterprise or corporation, business, service provider, government and consumer. Lack of trust between communicating parties, results in a situation that is popularly known as 'prisoner's dilemma', in which either of the two parties could resort to unfair practices. The two parties may be involved in transactions worth thousands of dollars, but it may not be possible to detect any unfair practices until the outcome of the transaction. Time is needed for the two communicating parties to develop trust in each other before the business transaction occurs.
