Why Trust Should Be Part of the Antitrust Conversation
Recommendation
Traditional trust measures are insufficient for guiding tech platforms, according to the Boston Consulting Group’s think tank, the BCG Henderson Institute, whose researchers explored the demands and opportunities of contemporary business models or ecosystems. They suggest that tech platforms should take the initiative in self-governance to preserve the trust of their varied stakeholders. In a scenario that evokes the fox guarding the hen house, BCG experts suggest that self-imposed guidelines could help disruptive platforms establish restrictions that industry watchdogs would eventually enact.
