This paper reports an investigation of entrepreneurial failure using hermeneutic analysis of five entrepreneurship narratives. The data used in this study was collected between 2002 and 2005. The research focuses on entrepreneurial orientation anddefines entrepreneurs as individuals who can "see what is not there." The researchers adopted "a deviation from the entrepreneurs' desired expectations" as their working definition of entrepreneurial failure. The paper progresses throughfour levels of interpretation in the development of theoretical understanding of personal and organizational learning from failure. The researchers found that individuals and organizations can learn from failure and thus improve chances of ultimate success. However, sometimes individuals and organizations do not...
Finance and statistics provides an objective definition of risk that fits the bill perfectly: risk is the variation from the expected outcome over time. Risk managers have their own ratio to compare the risks of two projects, changes in risk over time, and the risk of one company to another. This ratio is the coefficient of variation. It is the ratio of standard deviation relative to the mean. The objective definition of risk incorporates all three key variables for risk managers: expected outcome, variance and time. But in the real world, people still use the word risk to express all of its many meanings. Communication is a creative art form, but risk managers need to convey important information to stakeholders.

The main goal of this study is to analyze a sample of self-underwritten Initial Public Offerings (IPOs) where the going public process is conducted without the participation of any investment bank or underwriter at all. We test the hypothesis that the major incentive to self-underwrite is to maximize the proceeds from the IPO.The firms in this study are considered self-underwritten if and only if they explicitly describe their own IPO as such in the registration statement and the prospectus. This definition is completely new, since most previous academic papers have considered as those where the issuer is an investment bank that also participates in its own IPO. The main conclusion of this study is that there are no significant differences on the level of underpri...

Genius and madness are vague terms, and the only thing clear about them is that, by definition, each term refers to a type of psychological abnormality, a deviation from a behavioral-social norm. Genius and madness are value terms, not medical or scientific terms. Here, Szasz discusses the thin line that separates what is madness to what is genius.

We investigate the relation between the performance and characteristics of 1,779 domestic, actively managed retail equity mutual funds with diverse expense ratios. We show that using expense ratio standard deviation classes is an effective method for characterizing fund expenses for investors. Using various performance measures including Russell-index-adjusted returns, the results indicate that superior performance, on average, occurs among large funds with low expense ratios, low trading activity, and no or low front-end loads. Performance is invariant with respect to whether funds have 12b-1 fees.
