TI - Dimensions of Trust in Inter-Organisational Networks
AB - 
	Background. There has been a growing number of studies focusing on the issue of trust in inter-organisational networks. However, there are few publications which focus on the possibility of using trust as a coordination mechanism in inter-organisational networks.

	Research aims. The main purpose of the paper is to construct and present a framework for analysing the mechanism of trust and credibility in inter-organisational networks.

	Methodology. A critical literature review method was adopted in this paper. The method constitutes a process, a set of cognitive behaviours, as well as the product of this process.

	Key findings. In the results from this paper, the different dimensions of trust were analysed. Relations in inter-organisational networks go beyond trust and credibility. Trust may be one of the resources which enables the process of cooperation to start. However, credibility is only one of the reasons that cooperation works within inter-organisational networks.
