Risk-taking
among agricultural and business entrepreneurs of Delhi
N.P. Singh & K. Singh |
Risk-taking
behaviour of various categories of 80 agricultural and 80 business
entrepreneurs of Delhi has been studied using suitably Indianised
Hindi version of Kogan and Wallach's choice-dilemma procedure. The
test was administered individually on the Ss. Statistical analysis
revealed that business entrepreneurs as a whole emerged as more risk-takers
in comparison to agricultural entrepreneurs. Again the various categories
of business entrepreneurs did not exhobit any difference in their
risk-raking scores whereas their counter-parts in agriculture did
differ. It was inferred that elements of risk in business are more
due to instable demand and supply conditions and again due to dynamism
of consumer's requirements. The results are, however, not in conformity
with the expectations or hypothesis.
