"From the world's leading expert on trust repair, a guide to understanding the most essential foundation of our relationships and communities. When our trust is broken, and when our own trustworthiness is called into question, many of us are left wondering what to do. We barely know how trust works. How could we possibly repair it? Dr. Peter H. Kim, the world's leading expert in the rapidly growing field of trust repair, has conducted over two decades of groundbreaking research to answer that question. In How Trust Works, he draws on this research and the work of other social scientists to reveal the surprising truths about how relationships are built, how they are broken, and how they are repaired. Dr. Kim's work shows how we are often more trusting than we think and how easily our trust in others can be distorted. He illustrates these insights with accounts of some of the most striking and well-known trust violations that have occurred in modern times and unveils the crucial secrets behind when and why our attempts to repair trust are effective, and which breaches of confidence are just too deep. How Trust Works transforms our understanding of our deepest bonds, giving us the tools to build strong and supportive relationships on every level. With our families, coworkers, and friends. With the groups, organizations, and institutions that touch our lives. And even with societies and nations"--

"How to rethink modern organizations for the social media eraSocial Business by Design begins by exploring how the social, cultural, and technological trends provoked by the social media explosion are transforming the business environment. From this big picture view, the book then steps down to closely analyze the various tools of social media strategy: social media marketing, social product development, crowdsourcing, social customer research management, and more. The author then shows how to choose and implement a social business strategy and reveals the exact playbook to maximize its impact. These strategies are grounded in real-world examples from high-profile organizations such as Accenture, Best Buy, DIA, GEICO, ING, LG, Missile Defense Agency, Gucci, World Bank, and IBM. Social Business by Design draws on the rich unique set of assets of the Dachis Group. With a leading consulting business for numerous senior executive clients in Fortune 500 and Global 2000 companies, Dachis uses its "front row" seat in the industry to complete research work with large enterprises in their industry-leading Social Business Council. The books combines compelling explanation, hard-hitting research, and strategic recommendation, very much in line with the way Dachis practices"--

AbstractOne of the most effective means for re-establishing trust in negotiations and disputes is by making an apology. However, the function and meaning of an apology (and thus its effectiveness for negotiators) may differ across cultures. We hypothesized that people from an individual-agency culture (such as the United States) understand apologies as analytic mechanisms for assigning blame and re-establishing personal credibility. In contrast, apologies in collective-agency cultures (such as Japan) are understood to be general expressions of remorse rather than a means to assign culpability. A survey of Japanese and Americans found that, compared to Americans, Japanese apologized more often and were more likely to apologize for actions in which they were not involved; on the other hand, Americans were more likely than Japanese to equate apologizing with personal blame. A subsequent experimental study showed that these cultural differences in the function and meaning of apologies have implications for trust repair in disputes: apologies for integrity violations led to greater trust repair for Japanese than for Americans, but apologies for competence violations were somewhat more effective for Americans than Japanese. Implications for theory and practice are discussed.
