Abstract

Different societies use different mechanisms to assist people or organizations achieve cooperation. The purpose of this paper is to compare three different approaches to achieving cooperation. They are a contractual approach widely used in Anglo-Saxon societies, a trust approach more common in Asia, and a hostage approach widely used in the past and perhaps useful now in Eastern Europe or perhaps in some developing countries.
