| Abstract: | This study examines the influence of a number of key organizational characteristics on the extent of use of risk analysis in capital budgeting. Using factor analysis and regression analysis, the results indicate that managers who use risk analysis more extensively tend to be those who work in organizations that are characterized by greater risk taking, supportive information systems, longer-term incentive schemes, and high socio-economic uncertainty. |
