Attitudes of UK managers to risk and uncertainty

The authors provide an overview of their research into the attitudes of UK managers to risk and uncertainty. They find that, when it comes to decision making, managers in UK enterprises tend to focus on loss aversion rather than risk aversion. They found that managers’ personal attitudes to risk were often more important than risk management systems and their appropriateness.
