All potential entrepreneurs need to be aware that the dark side of entrepreneurship exists. What are the four specific areas of risk that entrepreneurs face. Describe each. The four specific areas of risk are as follows: 1. Financial risk—In most new ventures the individual puts a significant portion of his savings or other resources at stake. Career risk—A question frequently raised by would-be entrepreneurs is whether they will be able to find a job or go back to their old jobs if their venture should fail.

Family and social risk—Entrepreneurs expose their families to the risk of an incomplete family experience and the possibility of permanent scars. Psychic risk—The greatest risk may be to the well-being of the entrepreneur. What are the four causes of stress among entrepreneurs? How can an entrepreneur deal with each of them? There are four causes of stress: loneliness, immersion in business, people problems, and need to achieve.

To reduce stress, entrepreneurs must define the cause of the stress. After clarifying the cause of stress, the entrepreneur can combat excessive stress by acknowledging its existence, developing coping mechanisms, and probing personal unacknowledged needs. Describe the factors associated with the entrepreneurial ego.

The factors associated with the entrepreneurial ego include: an overbearing need for control; a sense of distrust; an overriding desire for success; and unrealistic optimism. Ethics must be based more on a process than on a static code. What does this statement mean? Do you agree? Why or why not? Yes, I agree, because we live in an ever-changing environment where each day is different and each decision has differing alternatives and circumstances. A small pharmaceutical firm has just received permission from the Food and Drug Administration FDA to market its new anticholesterol drug.

Although the product has been tested for five years, management believes that serious side effects may still result from its use, and a warning to this effect is being printed on the label.

If the company markets this FDA-approved drug, how would you describe its actions from an ethical and legal standpoint? Use Figure 2. There is nothing illegal about marketing the product, because all necessary actions were taken to get the drug approved by the FDA and the benefits must have outweighed the side effects.

On the other side, however, marketing the product may not be unethical, because the company is providing information concerning the side effects on the product for the consumer, and therefore, the consumer must make the choice. Management may continue to put more money into the research and development of the product.

The four distinct roles are non-role, role failure, role distortion, and role assertion. Role failure includes superficial performance appraisals and not confronting expense account cheating by employees.

Role assertion refers to socially questionable acts such as not withdrawing a product in the face of product safety allegations.

Why do complex decisions often raise ethical considerations for the entrepreneur? The reasons why business decisions of entrepreneurs are so complex are as follows: l ethical decisions have extended consequences, 2 business decisions involving ethical questions have multiple alternatives, 3 ethical business decisions often have mixed outcomes, 4 most business decisions have uncertain ethical consequences, and 5 there are personal implications in most ethical business decisions.

Cal Whiting believes entrepreneurs need to address the importance of ethics in their organizations. However, in his own company he is unsure of where to begin because the entire area is unclear to him. What would you suggest? Where can he begin? What should he do? Be as practical as you can in your suggestion. Cal Whiting needs to carefully examine his organization in order to determine actions that might be considered morally questionable. From there he can develop a code of conduct that would represent the ethical positions expected of all employees.

Finally, he can follow the four principles for ethical management involved in the holistic approach. These include: 1 Hire the right people. What is the concept of entrepreneurial motivation? Because motivation plays an important part in the creation of new organizations, theories of organization creation that fail to address this notion are incomplete. Therefore, one research approach is the motivational process that an entrepreneur experiences.

Explain the concept of entrepreneurial persistence and how it is being examined. Entrepreneurs are not intimidated by difficult situations. Although entrepreneurs are extremely persistent, they are realistic in recognizing what they can and cannot do and where they can get help to solve difficult but unavoidable tasks. Experience and persistence teaches lessons to entrepreneurs that are used to vault them into future successes.

The decision to persist is influenced by personal characteristics of the entrepreneur as well as by feedback from the environment. One of the most important characteristics of a successful entrepreneur is the desire to be a high achiever.

Ten questions are provided to help the reader identify their achievement drive. Choices for each question are a, b, and c. A scoring table is provided after the exercise. Once the reader has tabulated their score, information for interpreting the results is provided. The reader is given a list of eight actions, and asked to classify them as either ethical and legal, unethical and legal, ethical and illegal, or unethical and illegal.

Which of the three applicants do you think comes closest to having the mindset of an ideal entrepreneur? Each entrepreneur is as individual as the characteristics that make up the entrepreneur. An ideal entrepreneurial profile would consist of a desire to achieve, ability to solve problems so achievement can continue, ability to remain open to changes and indecisions that occur, a tolerance for failure, integrity and reliability, and self-confidence.

Investigators have reached broad consensus that variations in biological makeup and everyday tasks lead to wide individual differences in paths of change and resulting competencies. This edition pays more attention to variability in development and to recent theories—including ecological, sociocultural, dynamic systems, and epigenesis—that attempt to explain it.

Multicultural and cross-cultural findings, including international comparisons, are enhanced throughout the text. Biology and Environment and Cultural Influences boxes also accentuate the theme of diversity in development.

As in previous editions, the lifespan perspective—development as lifelong, multidimensional, multidirectional, plastic, and embedded in multiple contexts—continues to serve as a unifying approach to understanding human change and is woven thoroughly into the text.

Accumulating evidence on development of the brain, motor skills, cognitive and language competencies, temperament and personality, emotional and social understanding, and developmental problems underscores the way biological factors emerge in, are modified by, and share power with experience. The interconnection between biology and environment is integral to the lifespan perspective and is revisited throughout the text narrative and in the Biology and Environment boxes with new and updated topics.

The move toward viewing thoughts, feelings, and behavior as an integrated whole, affected by a wide array of influences in biology, social context, and culture, has motivated developmental researchers to strengthen their ties with other fields of psychology and with other disciplines. Topics and findings included in this edition increasingly reflect the contributions of educational psychology, social psychology, health psychology, clinical psychology, neurobiology, pediatrics, geriatrics, sociology, anthropology, social service, and other fields.

As researchers intensify their efforts to generate findings relevant to real-life situations, I have placed greater weight on social policy issues and sound theory- and research-based applications. Further applications are provided in the Applying What We Know tables, which give students concrete ways of building bridges between their learning and the real world. Ask Yourself questions at the end of most major sections have been revised to promote three approaches to engaging with the subject matter—Connect, Apply, and Reflect.
