Keynote Presentation by Professor David De Cremer, China Europe International Business School
The organisers of the First International Network on Trust Singapore Workshop are pleased to announce the following keynote presentation. More details on the Workshop can be found at: http:https://business.smu.edu.sg/conference/fint2013
Exploring the psychological underpinnings and consequences of trust in the west and china
Synopsis
In this talk I will develop a conceptual model explaining the motivational bases of trust in the West and China. Based on this model, I will outline the differences between the West and China in terms of developing trust, the type of leadership used, team work and innovation. I will conclude that because of the existence of an asymmetry in the motivational foundation of trust in people in the West and China, they use trust in different ways as a business asset.
