A lot of recent attention has been given to one of the central
paradoxes of trust: namely how people can restrict self-interest in
order to trust. Existing perspectives, theories, and models offer
partial explanations, but this volume presents a novel framework
that expands on the findings of recent studies of trust and
exchange. This book offers a new angle for the understanding of
exchange and trust in an interactive context, describes the
interactive characteristics of trust in exchange systems, and
develops a theory explaining the co-evolution of trust and exchange
systems. A new framework is used to incorporate the theory of
systems of trust and evolutionary game-theoretical approach to
investigate four important questions: How can trust emerge in
exchange when people pursue self-interest? After its emergence, how
does exchange affect trust in a dynamic process? When are dynamics
of trust stable? Do interactive trust phenomena differ under
different exchange systems? This book concludes with a discussion
of the implications of the theoretical findings for three areas:
the improvement of trust, potential economic growth, and mechanism
design in exchange systems. This volume makes a significant
contribution to the literature on evolutionary and institutional
economics and is suitable for those who have an interest in
political economy, economy theory and philosophy as well as
economic psychology.

China's 30-year market transition and its integration into the
world economy provide a unique opportunity for exploring the nature
of large-scale economic and political transformation and the
mechanisms underlying organizational behavior during such a
transition. Management and Organizations in Transitional China
explores how managers and firms cope with transition-related
challenges by adapting to, manipulating, or even creating the
complex institutional environment. This book examines the way
transitional institutions shape individual decisions and
organizational strategies, the mechanisms that promote the
diffusion of innovative management practices and economic policies,
and the formation and evolution of interfirm networks. Based on a
comprehensive review of the studies on market transition, this book
investigates how firms manage their relationship with important
stakeholders in the environment. It highlights the importance of
network-based strategies for institutionally less-advantaged actors
(like private firms, foreign entrants, and entrepreneurs) to
establish legitimacy, gain institutional support, and mobilize
financial resources. Moreover, this book studies the mechanisms
that facilitate the adoption of innovative management practices and
economic policies in the transitional context, comparing the
mainstream diffusion theories and evaluating the relative potency
of the diffusion drivers. Furthermore, Management and Organizations
in Transitional China provides empirical analyses using
longitudinal data of alliance formation, network evolution, and the
effect of both alliance formation and network evolution on firm
decision-making and performance. Combining theory, data analysis,
and rich contextual description to provide a comprehensive
understanding of the organizational transition process, this book
will appeal to scholars and practitioners in general management,
organizational studies, international business, entrepreneurship,
and related disciplines.
