I-Introduction
1.1 Introduction
The word ‘risk’ has two distinct meaning. It can mean in one context hazard or a danger, that is, an
exposure to mischance or peril. In other context, risk is interpreted more narrowly to mean the probability
or chance of risk. The risk with which this report is concerned is all some way ‘environmental’. They arise
in, or are transmitted through, the air, water, soil or biological food chain, to man. Their causes and
characteristics are, however, very diverse. Some are created by man through the introduction of the new
technology, product or chemical, while others, such as natural hazards, result from natural processes
which happen to interact with human activities and settlement. Risk perception is the subjective judgment
that people make about the characteristics and severity of a risk. The phrase is most commonly used in
reference to natural hazards and threats to the environment or health, such as nuclear power.
1.2 Objectives
 To analyze the perception of Micro Entrepreneur towards Human Resource Risks in Tirunelveli
City.
 To analyze the Micro entrepreneur Human Resource Risk perception towards demographic profile

1.3 Statement of the Problem


The important roles played by micro entrepreneurs in economic development performance is poor
because micro entrepreneurs are struggling to implement, embed and sustain a proper managing risk
strategy which is very important for the business to sustain and earn profit. There is question that why
some entrepreneurs do not survive for long time while others do. It is realized that managing risk has
not been fully understood before startup the business. Most of the business are facing serious problem
of insolvency and is forced to sell due to the misperception of risk. It’s clear that entrepreneurs
consistently face an inordinate amount of risks. Hence the researcher made an attempt to study the
perception of micro entrepreneur towards Human Resource Risk and also examine the relationship
among the Human Resource Risk perception with demographic profile of micro entrepreneur their
business.
1.4 Scope of the study
The present research focuses on the perception the micro entrepreneurs towards Human
Resource Risk. The study also examines the relationship among the Human Resource Risk perception
with demographic profile of micro entrepreneur. The study conducted in Tirunelveli City.
II - Review of Literature
2.1 Review of Literature
Entrepreneur previously defined as individual working for levering life standards by founding personal
job may differ from entrepreneur of today in terms of risk carried, risk coefficient an ability to generate an
idea and to convert the idea into output. Traditionally, definition of entrepreneurship is based on activity
of undertaking risk. First issue emphasized, when professional managers are discriminated from
entrepreneurs particularly in business activities, is that on the contrary to managers, entrepreneurs
undertake profit/loss risk themselves. However, economic risk is only a dimension for entrepreneurs; in
uncertain environments, career risk, social risks, psychological and physical risks are often associated with
economic risks (Brochaus, 1980:510; Pandeliau, 1998; Busenitz, 1999; Littunen, 2000:295).
Entrepreneur is an individual who combines a business idea in the form of creating a new market or
benefiting from an opportunity caused by deficient aspect of present market with components of risk and
capital. Moreover, entrepreneur manages a particular process. This process involves a production range
starting with entrepreneur and completing with staff. As a consequence of all risk undertaken,
entrepreneur waits for success or wants to reach initially defined targets. Nevertheless, failure is also a
possibility and in this case, risk may convert into dark face of entrepreneurship (Kuratko and Hodgetts,
1998:106). Therefore, endurance to the uncertainty is one of basic roles played by entrepreneur (Teoh and
Foo, 1997).
One of most significant features of entrepreneur individual is the ambition to take risk. Entrepreneurship is
regarded as principal factor for economic growth, creating employment and social progression. Campbell
stated that entrepreneurship activities involve risk and uncertainty due to its very nature and decision to be
an entrepreneur is alone more risky than other alternatives and added that the event is not shaped solely by

psychological factors, but external factors promoting start of the entrepreneurship activities are also
important (Erdem, 2001).
Based on a different comment, entrepreneurship can be explained by concepts of social psychology such
as values, personality structure and culture rather than opportunity preferences in economic activities
(Tan, 2001: 538-539). According to Perry (1990), risk taking is not a feature, approach or a response, but
it is the way of entrepreneur perceive world and entrepreneurs have more optimistic perceptions for risky
conditions than others (McCarthy and Leavy, 1999).
Similarly, Palich and Bagby (1995) advocated that entrepreneurs do not differ from non-entrepreneurs in
terms of tendency to take risk, but entrepreneurs better structure business conditions in form of
opportunity and gain, while Thompson stated that entrepreneurs respond to surrounding uncertainty and
disorder by creating a strong position for themselves and in fact, they create uncertainties for others via
proactive activities such as innovation, added value and ability to catch opportunities in a chaotic
environment and all of those activities are in fact a behavior of risk taking (Erdem, 2001).
According to Raghavan (2005) risk is the potentiality that expected events may have an adverse impact on
the capital earnings. Risk could also refer to the chance that some unfavorable event will occur and in this
respect risk describes a situation where there is not just one possible outcome of returns to an investment
but an array of potential returns. Risk could therefore be viewed as uncertainty of financial loss.
According to Markowitz (1952) risk can be classified into either unsystematic or systematic. Systematic
risks stems from market factors that affect most firms, such as inflation, recessions and high interest rates
which are undiversifiable or systematic in nature. It refers to that portion of total variability in return that
is caused by factors affecting the prices of all securities. Unsystematic risk also called diversifiable risk is
that related to events that are unique to the firm such as lawsuit, strikes, successful and unsuccessful
marketing programs, winning or losing a major contract etc.
Alquier and Tignol (2006) suggested that risk could be further classified as endogenous risks (those that
are originating from the situation itself) and exogenous risks (those coming from the outside).
Greuning et al., (2003), took a different direction in classifying risks as market risk, financial risk,
operational risk, business risks, and event risks. Notwithstanding this conflict in classification, what
should not be lost is the fact that classifications of risks indicate only the source and not the nature and as
such it is not enough in itself. Thus SMEs risks can be summarized broadly into four categories some of
which are controllable if suitable actions are taken to do so, while others are largely unpredictable and
uncontrollable. Some unpredictable and uncontrollable risks may include fire, floods, earthquakes,
political crises and war among many others. Due to ineffective management in the SMEs sector, the risk
that affect them stems from both the market related risk as well as business or operation risks.
A study done by Smit and Watkins (2012) found out that few SMEs owners and managers are risk aware
and they focus their risk actions on loss control programs in the areas of fire, safety, health and quality
assurance. The ability of the management of SMEs to carefully identify the risks that their business could
face and take actions accordingly to counter them will certainly lead to successful and profitable ventures
and contribute to economic growth of the nation.

Smit and Watkins (2012) argued that determining the components of total risk in SMEs is difficult due to
the fact that they are heterogeneous and also the difficulty in separating the owner from the business.
However, managers that do not take risk management seriously are faced with the problem of
performance that threatens the continuous existence of their business which can be equated to what is
called risk.
