The role of risk-taking and competitive aggressiveness in management of SMEs

Kljucnikov A., Belas J., Smrcka L.

Polish Journal of Management Studies

2016

Vol. 14, No. 1

129--139

Risk-taking and competitive aggressiveness, substantial elements of the entrepreneurial orientation of SMEs, have a significant impact on the management of SMEs. The aim of this contribution is to define the importance of these elements and to quantify the differences between entrepreneurs in terms of entrepreneur’s gender and education, and company’s age and size. Our research conducted in 2015 in the Czech Republic revealed some significant specifics within the relationships among gender, risk and competitive aggressiveness in the field of SMEs. Statistically significant differences between the designated social groups were compared through Pearson statistics at the significance level of 5%. According to our results since male and higher educated managers more intensively incline to initiative, to the realization of riskier projects and to aggressiveness against competitors, management of the entrepreneurially oriented companies should include these type of team members in order to formulate riskier and more competitively aggressive strategies. Companies which operate on the market for more than 10 years have a positive attitude and the “need” of risk and aggressive behaviour towards its competitors.

Podejmowanie ryzyka i agresywna konkurencja, stanowią bardzo istotne elementy działalności małych i średnich przedsiębiorstw, mające znaczący wpływ na ich zarządzanie. Celem tego artykułu jest podjęcie próby określenia znaczenia tych elementów oraz wyznaczenie różnic między przedsiębiorcami w zakresie płci przedsiębiorcy, w Czechach. Badanie wykazało istotne różnice w ramach relacji pomiędzy płcią, ryzykiem i agresywną konkurencją w obszarze MŚP. Statystycznie istotne różnice między wyznaczonymi grupami społecznymi zostały porównane przy wykorzystaniu współczynnika korelacji Pearsona na poziomie istotności 5%. Wyniki badań w sposób jednoznaczny pokazują, ze istnieje potrzeba stosowania ryzykownych i agresywnych strategii wobec firm konkurencyjnych.

Wang P., Rau P. L. P., Salvendy G.

International Journal of Occupational Safety and Ergonomics

2011

Vol. 17, No. 2

155--164

The first aim of this study was to investigate Chinese drivers’ preferences to risk-taking behaviors encountered in daily life, including safety and health, finance, recreation, social areas, and ethics. The second aim was to evaluate the association between Chinese risky driving and other risk-taking behaviors. A questionnaire survey was conducted with the 324 Chinese drivers who responded. Through a principal component analysis an 8-factor structure was created to interpret different domains of risk-taking behaviors. They were risks in driving, ethics, recreation, gambling, abused health (voluntarily engaging in smoking and binge drinking), investment, ignored health (ignoring personal health, such as eating expired food), and monetary social areas. The result of multiple regression analysis showed that drivers who were likely to engage in driving risks were also likely to take risks in domains of ethics, abused health, gambling, investment, recreation, and ignored health.
