ABSTRACT

This chapter discusses the heuristic power of the extended trust sentence “A trusts B to do X under Y circumstances” and the extended trust sentence as a tool for analysis for applicability and usefulness in practice. The impact of the information intermediary on the primary game of trust and control, that is, the original cooperation cannot be depicted in the structure of the game tree but only influences the information that the user has to build the game of trust and control. An alternative/additional way of using the game of trust and control is to depict both the executing trustee and the guarding trustee in one tree. In contemporary modes of cooperation, charters can be considered a signaling mechanism by industries as groups of trustees. Information intermediaries may further facilitate coordination between trustor and trustee. Risk bearers as guarding trustees mitigate risk for the trustor. In practice again there may be mixed forms of the types of risk bearers.
