Abstract

Partner trust is one of the most critical factors influencing the performances of collaborative networks guaranteeing the success of the relationships between the enterprises of a network. In this chapter, based on a classification of trust types with respect to trust influencing factors, a rule-based fuzzy system assessing the influence of each trust type on collaborative networks related costs is designed. Results show that each considered cost evolves not only differently with respect to the evolution of specific trust types but also independently from each other. Moreover, the developed system provides quantitative predictions of costs reductions that can be reached by collaborative networks partners based on their corresponding trust levels.
