RISK TOLERANCE
AND GROWTH AND
SUCCESS ENTREPRENEUR Raquel I. Sembrano RISK TOLERANCE • is the degree of risk or uncertainty that is acceptable to an organization. There are three different levels of risk tolerance Involved: • Aggressive Risk Tolerance • Moderate Risk Tolerance • Conservative Risk Tolerance Zhao et al. (2010) • found that risk propensity to positively associated with early entrepreneurial intentions, but is not related to entrepreneurial performance ( defined through evidence of survival, growth and profitability of the enterprise at the study level).
Kessler et al. (2012)
• similar results are found by Kessler et al.(2012) among founders for assessed venture success and business survival. Hvide and Panos ( 2014) • hypothesized that the business of risk-tolerant individuals might underperform over the long run, because more of these individuals select into entrepreneurship (thus bringing more mediocre ideas) than among risk- averse individuals ( who thus might only be tempted to start firms with the very best ideas). Korunka et al. (2003) • surveyed and compared 314 nascent entrepreneurs and 627 new business owners managers and found that those who become successful ( self-assessed) displayed a medium risk- taking propensity. • It is possible that while the high risk-takers are not the most successful, some risk- taking propensity is helpful toward business success. Hyytinen et al. (2015) • The main interest was in the firm's innovativeness ( rather than that of the entrepreneur) but they also asked about the risk attitudes of the entrepreneur. • They found that risk- loving entrepreneurs that operate innovative firms are much less likely to have their firms survive over a three-year follow-up period compared to risk-loving entrepreneur running less innovative operations. Cucculelli and Ermini (2013) • The author compared firms that introduce new products with those without new products innovations. • The risk-loving entrepreneurs are also somewhat more likely to introduce new products in the first place, showing that they may indeed stimulate firm growth through innovation. GROWTH ENTREPRENEUR • someone who is interested in growing a company quickly. SUCCESS ENTREPRENEUR • Being a successful entrepreneur means more than starting new ventures every other day. It means the right attitude towards a business and the determination and grit to achieve success. A successful entrepreneur has a strong inner drive that helps him or her to succeed.
