Tolerance of Ambiguity as a Discriminating Variable Between Entrepreneurs and Managers.

Jean L. Schere

Abstract

The present study investigated if, in accord with the propositions made by both economists and students of the entrepreneur in the management literature, entrepreneurs (individuals who started their own firms) had a higher tolerance of ambiguity than either Top executives or middle managers. The findings did suggest that these propositions were not unfounded.
