Empirical Research II—Experimental Study
摘要
The chapter presents the design and findings of the second empirical study an experiment comparing the decisions of corporate entrepreneurs, independent entrepreneurs, and corporate innovation managers. The analysis of decisions across risk, loss aversion, status quo bias, overconfidence, and optimism shows no systematic differences between the three groups. The one exception is loss aversion, where entrepreneurs are significantly more loss averse than managers countering the hypotheses derived from empirical results in the literature.
