Several papers and presentations explored the concept of trust and pointed out the variety of definitions out there, as well as the assumption that we all speak about the same thing when in fact we aren’t. Chiara Valentini (Jyvaskyla University School of Business and Economics) provided a compelling review of literature, while Alastair McCapra, chief executive of CIPR – Chartered Institute of Public Relations, questioned the concept of trust and the way it is measured in Edelman’s Trust Barometer; while Natalie Doyle Oldfield of Success Through Trust presented her model to evaluate trust. Needless to say, participants launched a call to approach more cautiously and critically the concept of trust and its operationalization, as well as its link with reputation.
Other papers explored the relationship between trust and reputation, exploring a variety of contexts: from academic reputation and the now-fashionable university rankings (Ana Tkalak Vercic, University of Zagreb, Croatia and Dejan Vercic, University of Ljubljana, Slovenia), to the fossil fuel industry (Beata Kviatek, Univerity of Applied Sciences Groeningen, the Netherlands) to Hot Yoga (Antonia Rizzo, Canadian Force Morale and Welfare Services, Canada) or an unexpected discussion about secret services and their reputation, brought up by Denisa Hejlova of Charles University (Czeck Republic).
