Who Can We Trust?
Trust in Information Sources and Spokespeople
“Kejujuran dan keterbukaan selalu menjadi
modal utama dalam bisnis apa pun dalam
keadaan apa pun. Jika institusi keuangan
enggan menyampaikan informasi yang akurat
dengan cepat dan jujur, hasilnya adalah krisis
informasi dan kepercayaan.”
“Honesty and transparency will always be the
main capital for any business in any situation.
If financial institutions are reluctant to
provide accurate information in a quick and

occurs.”
