Abstract: To explore the formation mechanism of trust between members in a cluster, a reputation model is developed.With this model, the game playing behavior of the members for long-term cooperation with or without a reputation transmission mechanism is analyzed such that a trust formation mechanism is presented.The formation mechanism is essentially a game equilibrium.Then, by using a modified KMRW(Kreps,Milgrom,Roberts and Wilson) model, it shows that good reputations are vitally important for an enterprise cluster to set up a long-term cooperation with trust.

Key words: social network, enterprise cluster, reputation mechanism, game theory
