As dealt with in the previous section knowledge, responsibility, conflict of loyalty and trust are four important factors affecting the quahty of risk reporting procedures. These factors are imbedded in the organizational power structures, hues of command, and communication channels that constitute the institutional context of risk reporting. And as evidenced, many of these factors contribute to a social or more precisely an institutional attenuation of risk. 

Another aspect that fosters the reputation of embedded lead user among R D staff is that they are easier to include into corporate processes, since the risk for information spillover is lower than with external users. Being employees they have signed NDAs and also are bound to secrecy due to loyalty and trust relationships to the company. This is why they can be included into the innovation process, where products are ar from market ready and risks of spillover are high (SportS Leisurel, Healthl, 2). In contrast to the involvement of external users no additional safeguarding mechanisms need to be installed ... 

End the practice of awarding business on the basis of price tag. Instead, minimize total cost. Move toward a single supplier for any one item, on a long-term relationship of loyalty and trust. 

End the practice of awarding business on the basis of price tag alone. Instead, minimize total cost in the long run. Move toward a single supplier for any one item and a long-term relationship of loyalty and trust. One place where lowest-price bidders can lead to a safety problem is in the area of contractors. A contractor with a poor safety record and unwillingness to cooperate with the customer may be the low bidder but will seldom yield the lowest total cost. 

Trust, which implies respect, is the fundamental source of high morale and productivity, loyalty, and enthusiasm. A common corporate aphorism is that "no one is irreplaceable". In fact, the loss of even the least efficient member of one s team to some degree scars the whole. While everyone may be replaceable, one must ask whether replacing people is worth the price in trust lost. There may be cases in which an employee proves incapable of performing at a minimal level of competence. In such cases, transfer or termination should be performed promptly for the benefit of the group, the corporation, and the employee. The recent trend toward solving corporate performance problems by dismissal of employees, however, is unwholesome. 

Furthermore, if customers offer to change suppliers simply because of an offer of lower price, there is obviously little existing vendor loyalty. The seller must be equally discriminating about who to accept as a customer. Far better for a seller to have to work hard to win a customer s business and trust, because if some minor mishap occurs (as is inevitable at some time or other), the customer more likely will approach the vendor rather than the vendor s competitor to solve the problem. 

The day when an employee came to work as a young person and remained with the company for 30 years or until retirement is a thing of the past. Not only has company loyalty to the employee suffered, but also loyalty to and trust of the company on the part of the employee. Young professionals...

The concept of CRM is built around the customer (instead of product or process), in the behef that the development of a close relationship with the customer will help determine, fulfill and even predict the needs of the customer (Beckett and Camarata 1998). By learning customer preferences and focusing on long-term relationships, firms can provide products and services that better fit customers needs. They can also do this in a way that ensures loyalty and builds sufficient trust for customers to share strategic information about their preferences and needs. As shown in Fig. 2.10, the major emphasis is on acquiring and retaining customers, and extending relationships to future. 

It has been reported that supply chain collaboration is difihcult to implement because there has been an over reliance on technology and fundamentally a lack of tmst between trading partners (Moberg and Speh 2003 Barratt 2004 Sheu et al. 2006). Trust is an important element for lOS enabled supply chain collaboration because trust can provide a foundation between collaborative partners for sharing critical information (Lejeune and Yakova 2005). However, trust between partners must be earned and trust comes only after the other party proves its abilities to offer solutions and also demonstrates loyalty (Min et al. 2005). Trust is achieved by behaving consistently over an extended period, e.g., maintaining quality standards without constant monitoring (Handfield and Nichols 1999 Lejeune and Yakova 2005). 

What is also sold to the customer is confidence, trust, and loyalty. 

Also, one should remember that patient satisfaction might not be the most relevant outcome for study. Performance, quality, loyalty, complaining behavior, trust, or some other outcome might be more useful for decision making, planning, implementation, and evaluation related to healthcare products and services. It is important to link the construct being measured to the problem or decision that the study results will help address.

After presenting the general ethieal topics, the second part of the course shifts to the issue of professional ethics. An engineer should obey primarily the general professional ethics, which means duties and rules of conduct common to aU professions - such as responsibility, loyalty, reliability, diligence. Students then discuss the public trust of professions and their functions. This includes issues such as controlling goods important for life and for its quality in the whole society. 

The primary antecedent of trust is customer loyalty, which has well been discussed in the literature as a driver of long term profitability and growth (Reicheld, 1996 Heskett et al., 1997). Today, the exploration of the construct in e-banking, including its drivers and antecedents, and its various sub-dimensions (i.e. attitudinal and behavioral loyalty) is at best in its infancy. Despite, however, the dearth of relevant literature specific to c-banking, -loyalty is considered by both academics and practitioners as the most important driver of long term growth and profitability (Reichheld and Schefter, 2000).
