Abstract
A model of strategic risk taking incorporating environmental, industrial, organizational, decision maker, and problem variables is presented.The model is intended to be both a preliminary conceptualization of strategic risk taking and a stimulant for future research on risk taking in strategic management decisions.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.
