Transparency is often cited as essential to the trust stakeholders place in organizations. However, a clear understanding of the meaning and significance of transparency has yet to emerge in the stakeholder literature.

We draw from this analysis to explicate the mechanisms organizations can employ that influence transparency perceptions.
