Abstract: Entrepreneurship is a multidimensional phenomenon and yet as scholars, we continually use unidimensional measures in many areas of our research to capture and assess our own beliefs, hypotheses, and models of entrepreneurial behavior. For example, our own measures of risk have relied on only one underlying assessment and measurement of how entrepreneurs perceive risk as it relates to their own judgments and decisions regarding the new venture creation process Our current research presents the development and validation of a multidimensional measure designed to assess the perceived risk associated with entrepreneurial venture intentions. We report analyses of both the internal construct development and cross-structure of a new scale. On the internal construct development side, two meta-dimensions emerged: risk as threat and risk as opportunity, each one representing financial, social, and personal dimensions.
