Building Trust in Online Markets
On his return visit to Melbourne Business School, Steve will discuss results from a series of recent studies on the role of trust in online marketplaces. Well-functioning markets thrive only when buyers and sellers trust that transactions will be executed as described. Online anonymous markets have succeeded thanks to buyers and sellers being able to evaluate each other based on feedback from past transactions. But how effective are these feedback mechanisms and how can online platforms improve trust further?
