3. Antcipatng risk and uncertainty in the business entironoent

Entrepreneurs take risks – they coooit resources that could be lost, both when they set the
business up and when they oake business decisions later. Entrepreneurs can
antcipate/oinioise risk bya
 Carrying out oarket research
 Using tools like probability/decision trees to assess and help theo decide between
alternatte intestoents
 Atoiding intestoents with a low probability o success
 By choosing intestoents that are relattely low cost

Risk is increased when entrepreneurs oake decisions in uncertain conditons. The business
entironoent is uncertain because etents can happen that are outside the business’ control,
e.g. a new coopettor entering the oarket, a change in the econooy. Business can try to
reduce uncertainty by analysing their external entironoent, e.g. using PESTE (Politcal,
Econooic, Social, Technological, Ethics/Entironoent). Businesses can plan or uncertain
etents, e.g. by oaking a contngency plan/back-up plan.

Barriers to entrepreneurshipa
 Access to fnance
 Lack o entrepreneurial capacity – know how/skills
 Atersion to risk
 Lack o ideas
