Self-reflection

To test this hypothesis, 260 entrepreneurs from Serbia and Montenegro were surveyed and their demographic characteristics collected, with data being analyzed using SEM. A logistic regression model determined that demographic variables including age and length of service were key predictors of whether their propensity to make risky or rational business decisions varied by age and length of service; it also identified interrelationships among them that could be explored using structural equation modeling.
Personal goals
Entrepreneurs must be capable of making complex decisions that have far-reaching effects for both their business and personal lives. A clear decision-making process helps mitigate risk when making these crucial choices, by providing an avenue for them to systematically evaluate all available information, explore multiple perspectives, assess possible outcomes and ensure their decision aligns with their goals and objectives.
