About this title

Synopsis

"This book examines trust in a third dimension. It considers how building trust is different for managers developing "virtual" relationships. Questions answered include: To what extent can we inform the way: remote workers are managed; electronic commerce is used to sell products and services to unseen consumers; IT is relied on to interface with organizations, virtual or otherwise?"--Provided by publisher.
