This book is a pioneering work that delves into a paradox observed within industries, where companies with lower profitability often display higher risk-taking tendencies. This phenomenon contradicts traditional assumptions in economics and finance that posit a positive correlation between risk and return, making it a subject of great interest for business research. The author explores several possible explanations, including the idea that companies struggling financially or falling short of expected performance may be more willing to take on bigger risks in pursuit of greater returns. The book presents supporting evidence from experimental studies and content analysis of annual reports, demonstrating that risk aversion is not ubiquitous and that individuals may exhibit risk-seeking behavior in certain situations, especially those involving potential losses or missed targets. By examining the relationship between risk and return from a fresh perspective, this book offers valuable insights into the intricate dynamics of corporate strategy and management decision-making. Its findings challenge conventional wisdom and provide compelling evidence for the influence of psychological and behavioral factors in shaping business outcomes. This groundbreaking analysis will fascinate readers interested in the intersection of finance, psychology, and business strategy.
