Information for authors

In September 2012, the Postgraduate Center of the University of Vienna released the first volume of the new annual series “University – Society – Industry. Beiträge zum lebensbegleitenden Lernen und Wissenstransfer“. The series is published in the context of the project „University Meets Industry“ (uniMind) that promotes knowledge exchange between universities and „practical fields“ (enterprises, organizations, society). The topic of the annual volume always corresponds with the current theme of the project (2012: „Changing learning cultures“, 2013: „Trust“).

For the second volume, we would like to invite scientists and researchers from a broad range of disciplines to contribute to the topic of „TRUST“. Also, practitioners with strong ties to universities or applied research are welcome to participate.

Title of the publication: TRUST

Editors: Edith Hammer, Nino Tomaschek

In politics as well as in interpersonal relations: Every day, we are confronted with issues of trust in may situations - consciously or unconsciously. The second volume of the „University – Society – Industry“-series deals with issues related to trust in different contexts.

„To show trust is to anticipate the future. It is to behave as though the future were certain“, Niklas Luhmann. As the future is highly unpredictable (as e.g. the recent financial crisis shows us), trust can be seen as a high-risk investment with an uncertain prospect of revenue. Is there an alternative or are we forced to trust? The complex relationships and interdependencies that all people, organizations and institutions are involved in demand high levels of trust. Companies that wants to be successful need to build trustful relationships with their customers and stakeholder. In times of global communication eroding trust can cause collateral damage to a company (e.g. falling stock prices after negative media coverage). Trust is a catalyst for scopes of action. If trust erodes, we can easily become incapable of acting - in organizations, in politics, in sports or in personal relati-onships.

The publication integrates perspectives from psychology, sociology, communi-cation studies, ethnology, pedagogy, economy, business, linguistics or sports science. Also we welcome approaches from biology, arts, architecture or natural sciences.

Contents

Contributions may focus on of or more of the following aspects of trust:

• Establishing trustful relationships in university-industry-cooperation• Issues of trust regarding intellectual property and patents• Trust in learning processes, creating trustful learning environments• Role of trust in learning communities / communities of practice• Relevance of social capital and emotional intelligence in cooperation• Trust in science and research (plagiarism, authenticity of research results etc.)• The essence of trust, how is it created: psychological, neuroscientific, ethnological

perspectives • Trustful relationships in virtual spaces• Trust as a precondition and driver for innovation• Dealing with eroding trust in project teams, strategies of rebuilding trust• Trust and volatility: organizational planning, forecasts, trust in an uncertain future• Trust and dealing with complexity in systems• Trust in teams: in soccer teams as well as orchestras we can find complex relations of

trust – what can organizations learn from them?• Trust in leadership: delegating responsibility to others; trust versus control• Trust in intercultural and international contexts • Trust in banks and the financial system – which parameters can lead to an increase/

decrease of trust• Political parties should act in the best interest of citizens, yet trust in the political sys-

tem is rather low - what influences the trustworthiness of politicians?• Authenticity and truth of information: New media enable us to easily access informati-

on on a global scale; still we cannot always be certain of the authenticity and truth of knowledge/information. Can we trust the media?

• The sustainability of most public services is based on trust; we trust that all members of society act in a way that is beneficial for society as a whole (dilemma of „free riding“) – consequences of „moral hazard“ for society

• Trust between generations („intergenerational contract“)

Further perspectives are welcome, please let us know if you wish to emphasize other aspects of trust!

The selected topic should be discussed within one of the following frames:

• Trust in cooperation and learning processes• Trust in interpersonal relationships• Trust in organizations• Trust in society and the economic system
