Does the Ability to Make a New Business Need More Risky Choices during Decisions? Evidences for the Neurocognitive Basis of Entrepreneurship

چکیده
ear Editor, As we know, individual differences play an important role in entrepreneurship ability (Zhao & Seibert, 2006). Some studies have found significant correlations between individuals' personality and entrepreneurship (White, et. al., 2006, 2007; Furnham and Nederstrom, 2010). Personality characteristics such as tolerance for risk, preference for autonomy, and innovativeness are important factors in the selection of entrepreneurs (White, et. al., 2007). Recently the study of personality as a concrete psychological concept has concentrated on brain cognitive functions (Michalski & Shackelford, 2010; Prabhakaran et. al., 2011). Hence, it has been argued that understanding entrepreneurial behaviors require understanding entrepreneurial thinking. The identification of entrepreneurship behavior requires the codification of neural base of entrepreneurial thought at a deeper level (Prabhakaran et. al., 2011). Some studies have shown that attitudes toward risk, entrepreneurial ability, preferences for autonomy, and locus of control are important in determining who starts and operates businesses (Caliendo, Fossen, & Kritikos, 2010; Zhao & Seibert, 2006).
