Trust Between International Joint Venture Partners: Effects of Home Countries

Trust is an important factor in interorganizational relations. Interorganizational trust in cross-border relationships is likely to be influenced by the home countries of both partners. Using data on 165 international joint ventures (IJVs), we show that the perceived trustworthiness of an IJV partner is influenced by the general propensity to trust in the trustor's home country. Moreover, the trustworthiness perceived by a focal parent firm is also affected by the home country of the other IJV partner. This second effect is mitigated by experience between the partners

Tie loss and tie gain: Trust and efficiency during management transitions

In this paper we examine the changes newly promoted professionals in three service firms (auditors, consultants, and lawyers) experience to their network relations over the course of their first 1½ years in the job: which contacts are lost/retained and wh

Logical wormhole prevention in optimized link state routing protocol

A particularly severe attack on routing protocols in ad hoc networks is the so-called wormhole attack in which two or more colluding attacking nodes record packets at one location, and tunnel them to another location for a replay at that remote location. When this attack targets specifically routing control packets, the nodes that are close to the attackers are in effect shielded from finding any alternative routes to the remote location with more than one or two hops, and thus all the routes will be directed to the wormhole established by the attackers. In optimized link state routing protocol (OLSR), if a wormhole attack is launched during the propagation of link state packets, the wrong link information will propagate throughout the network, leading to routing disruption. In this paper, we devise an efficient method to detect wormhole attacks in the OLSR protocol. This method tries to ascertain the effective presence of neighbors by employing an efficient neighborhood detection algorithm. Our method has several advantages since it does not require any time synchronization or location information and shows high detection rate under various scenarios. © 2007 IEEE
