He proposed a five stage model that has physiological needs at its bottom and need for self-actualization at the top. He was of the opinion that unless the lower level deficit needs are satisfied, an individual can’t progress to meet higher level needs. However, if this holds true and valid for all individuals, then the question arises: does this pyramid of needs apply even in case of an entrepreneur? Stories and biographies of many successful entrepreneurs reveal that the Maslow’s Need Hierarchy does not hold valid and especially in the same order, for many of them. This research paper attempts to study the relevance of Maslow’s need hierarchy to the entrepreneurs whose one of the primary characteristics is risk preferences.
