Defining and Predicting Corporate Strategic Risk: An Application in the Telecommunications Industry
Abstract
dc:descriptionThis dissertation examines corporate strategic risk--the risk accruing to a corporation as it relates to its environment. First, an integrative concept of risk is developed based on the risk constructs used by various fields. Variables which have important effects on strategic risk are examined. Methods for measuring risk are developed and tested. These building blocks of a theory of strategic risk are applied to understanding risk in the telecommunications industry and examining firm variation in risk characteristics.
