Abstract

This study assesses the relationship between an owner's decisiveness characteristics and the performance of his or her business in a sample of small business owners who started new childcare ventures. Decisiveness was found to be positively related to performance. However, this result was contrary to expectations of a negative relationship based the presumption that decisiveness would be negatively related to a normative model of logic-based decision-making that includes appropriate amounts of information gathering and analysis.
