Abstract

This chapter considers the aftermath of the financial crisis of 2008, and specifically the subsequent “bail-out” of the large financial institutions by the American government, from the perspective of trust in the post-bail-out economy. The author considers the impacts of both the compartmentalization of action within companies, and the increased complexity of interaction within business, on stakeholder trust in organizations.
