Abstract
This thesis aims to examine the effect of a chief executive officer’s (ceo’s) decision orientation on corporate risk-taking, using data from 3,927 publicly listed companies on the malaysia stock exchange from 2015 to 2021. Our research focuses on how different decision orientation, logical and intuitive affect firm risk-taking. Our hypothesis suggests that ceos with a logical decision orientation are likely to engage in higher risk-taking, driven by confidence backed from a structured and analytical approaches. However, the empirical results indicate otherwise, showing that logical ceos are actually less inclined to take significant risks, a trend that holds across most of the variables assessed. A further academic extension of this thesis is to study the relationship between ceos’ cognitive complexity (which is developed through specific training derived from the educational backgrounds) and corporate risk-taking. This can be further broken into two categories
