This journal article discusses how trust in ethics has to be addressed to have a successful business. The researcher assesses the content of the most significant trust research in the realm of the relationship of the business. The article focuses on and explores the nature of trust conceptualization, while taking the proposed definition into consideration; it also reconstructs the order of trust processes taking in consideration the patterns of the mind.
The article focuses on the market relationships. This is important for settings of interest
in business ethics issues and ethical values.
This article will be very useful and relevant to my paper on small businesses and their economic structure, because it gives me a guideline on how the study was conducted, the content analysis and the resulting set of definitions was reduce redundancy. The purpose of the study was to allow an encompassing definition, which includes all the identified current research and scientific data base. Each study was put together through quantitative content analysis with the out coming of trust scholars may underestimate the risk of over-trusting trust by using the word ‘‘trust’’ without necessarily controlling for content validity, while taking the construct’s face validity for granted. The research was based on cooperative behavior focused on shared values and ethics.

This article explains the concepts of macroeconomic variables and global economic
indicators with the initial objective of analyzing business cycles in a small economy. The
study takes place in Singapore from a large panel dataset dynamic factor model. The
factor model explains
the observed fluctuations in a real economic activity and price
inflation in their business cycles. The problem is approached on an ad hoc basis, using
foreign variables to estimate
external shocks to the economy. The study had problems
with degrees-of0freedom associated
with loss of efficiency in regression-type models
like single equations, large-scale macro econometric models and vector auto regressions.
The stand points of the models were used from a theoretical standpoint driven by small
number of common shocked and idiosyncratic components. The article demonstrates the
analysis and prediction of business cycles in an archetypal small open economy and its
business practices in Singapore.
