Abstract:	According to several previous studies, entrepreneurial risk-taking is an important aspect that can lead to prospective business opportunities, hence improving entrepreneurial outcomes such as enterprise performance. The main purpose of this paper is to examine the extent and degree of impact of entrepreneurial risk-taking (ERT) as one of the dimensions of entrepreneurial mindset on the performance of micro enterprises in Skikda, Algeria. Based on a self-administered survey questionnaire, data were collected from a random sample of 142 micro-enterprises in Skikda. The study adopted descriptive, correlation, and regression analyses to estimate the impact of entrepreneurial risk-taking. collected data were analyzed using the Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS 22) programme. The findings demonstrate that entrepreneurial risk-taking significantly affects the performance of micro enterprises in Skikda. Of the total variance of the performance of micro enterprise’s, 9.2% can be explained by the variability of entrepreneurial risk-taking. A small percentage is expected and can partly be explained by the presence of other factors that affect the performance of these enterprises as well as the negative effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on the process of economic activity and available business opportunities worldwide, especially these very small enterprises. However, the presence of this positive impact calls for a focus on raising the risk-taking spirit of existing and potential Algerian entrepreneurs, by holding conferences, forums and entrepreneurial programmes that enhance and support this characteristic of the entrepreneurial mindset.

Title:	Ali prevzemanje podjetniškega tveganja vpliva na poslovno uspešnost mikropodjetij? : dokazi iz alžirskega mesta Skikda
Abstract:	V skladu s številnimi predhodnimi študijami je prevzemanje podjetniškega tveganja pomemben vidik, ki lahko vodi do potencialnih poslovnih priložnosti in s tem izboljša podjetniške rezultate, kot je uspešnost podjetja. Glavni namen tega prispevka je preučiti obseg in stopnjo vpliva prevzemanja podjetniškega tveganja kot ene od razsežnosti podjetniške miselnosti na uspešnost mikro podjetij v kraju Skikda v Alžiriji. Podatki so bili zbrani na osnovi samoprijavnega anketnega vprašalnika na naključnem vzorcu 142 mikropodjetij v mestu Skikda. V študiji so bile uporabljene opisna, korelacijska in regresijska analiza za oceno vpliva podjetniške naravnanosti k tveganju. Zbrani podatki so bili analizirani s programom Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS 22). Ugotovitve kažejo, da prevzemanje podjetniškega tveganja pomembno vpliva na uspešnost mikro podjetij v Skikdi. Od skupne variance uspešnosti mikro podjetij je 9,2 % mogoče pojasniti s spremenljivostjo prevzemanja podjetniškega tveganja. Majhen odstotek je pričakovan in ga je mogoče delno pojasniti s prisotnostjo drugih dejavnikov, ki vplivajo na uspešnost teh podjetij, ter z negativnimi učinki pandemije COVID-19 na proces gospodarske dejavnosti in razpoložljive poslovne priložnosti po vsem svetu, zlasti teh zelo majhnih podjetij. Vendar pa je treba zaradi prisotnosti tega pozitivnega učinka pozornost nameniti povečanju duha tveganja obstoječih in potencialnih alžirskih podjetnikov z organizacijo konferenc, forumov in podjetniških programov, ki krepijo in podpirajo to značilnost podjetniške miselnosti.
