Abstract

Businesses in the 21st century have extended to a process oriented, e-business world that is increasing in business-to-business, web-centric interactions. The geographical dispersion of participants in this new process oriented e-business world introduces challenges of building a degree of trust needed for effective collaboration. Yet, examining the correlation of various trust manifestations to the success of business-to-business collaboration remains a challenge. This paper examines trust as a factor in successful business-to-business process implementations. Based on an international collaboration between two universities that address issues of new e-centric business practices, results in the form of students’ perceptions of trust manifestations are presented.
