Toward a Contingency Model of Strategic Risk Taking
讨论了战略风险需要更广泛的概念，并提出了一个包含环境、行业、组织、决策者和问题变量的战略风险承担模型，旨在为未来研究提供初步概念框架。
While the concept of risk is embedded in the process of strategic decision making, there has been little systematic treatment of risk in the strategic management field.Most often, risk is conceptualized in terms of uncertainty about financial returns or some equivalent performance measure.In this paper, the need for a wider concept of strategic risk is discussed and a model of strategic risk taking incorporating environmental, industry, organizational, decision maker and problem variables is put forward.The model is intended both as a preliminary conceptualization of strategic risk taking and as a stimulant for future research about risk taking and strategic management.Relevant research from a number of disciplines is summarized and the potential impacts of particular variables on the propensity to take strategic risks are examined both diagrammatically and in tabular form.
