Summary/Abstract: This paper presents the initial results of our systematic review of 66 studies. The analysis included articles from electronic databases. The articles concentrated on interorganizational trust and its outcomes. Four types of potential interorganizational trust paradoxes were distinguished: classic form of trust-opportunism paradox, the paradox of trust-opportunism from the view of game theory, paradox of embeddedness and the paradox of asymmetry of trust. The analysis has not given any crucial solution but only a suggestion that there are no different types of paradoxes, instead there is only one paradox: trust-opportunism which can be analyzed from different points of view.
