Risk and rationality in entrepreneurial processes
Open accessAbstract
This study begins with a historical overview of the connection between risk and rationality. It then broadens beyond this historical trajectory by taking entrepreneurship as a point of departure for understanding risk and rationality. Drawing from the research of Littlechild (1986), Buchanan and Vanberg (1991), and Sarasvathy et al . (2003), this study considers three entrepreneurial processes: opportunity recognition, opportunity discovery, and opportunity creation. Associated with each of these processes are unique conceptualizations of risk and rationality, reflected in distinct research streams. The final section of the study considers implications of the process‐contingent nature of risk and rationality, and motivates a broadening of the research agenda from entrepreneurial decision making to practices.

“…entrepreneur’s perspective, whether an opportunity is satisfactory or not depends in part on the opportunities available outside the entrepreneurial realm, i.e., the opportunity cost of foregoing other employment (Gimeno et al., 1997) or other exploitative uses of available resources (March, 1991).”

“Hence, a key aspect of entrepreneurship as a process that improves allocative effi ciency is to provide information and assurances that overcome buyers’ and suppliers’ information disadvantages and mitigate the risks of entering into transactions with unpredictable results (see Darby and Karni, 1973 ).”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
