CALL FOR SUBMISSIONS
Trust within and across boundaries: Conceptual challenges and empirical insights.
Sub-theme at the 22nd European Group of Organizational Studies (EGOS) conference.
6-8th July 2006, Bergen, Norway.
This sub-theme explores the complex implications of the fact that trust occurs both within and across boundaries. Such boundaries can be real (formal, physical) and/or perceived (informal, psychological). We welcome conceptual and/or empirical contributions that consider the implications of boundaries on the nature, development, and/or consequences of trust. We also invite papers that discuss how boundaries themselves might be influenced by trust. Papers examining a wide range of contexts and boundaries are encouraged, including studies of trust between parties representing different cultures, professions, genders, workgroups, organizations, hierarchical levels, organizational stakeholders, governments, nations, societies, and religions.

The deadline for abstract submissions has been extended to January 23rd 2006. Full papers are due May 2006.
Convenors: Nicole Gillespie (Warwick Business School), Don Ferrin (Singapore Management University), & Guido Möllering (Max Planck Institute for the Study of Societies)
