Risk serves as an important aspect that can change the decision making of individuals, especially if it is related to investment decision making. The effects of risk on investment decision making have been extensively discussed in the literature but little of it assessed the dominance of various risk-related factors in investment decision making by individuals. In order to make up for this lack,  this research studies the impact of risk avoidance,  uncertainty avoidance and perceived risk on the investment intentions of individual investors in Pakistan and relate it to Hofstede’s cultural dimension. The data was collected from individual investors and after screening, a sample of 548 was found useable for further analysis. Using SEM-PLS, it was found that risk avoidance and uncertainty avoidance significantly influence the investment intention of individual investors. On the other hand perceived risk does not influence the investment intentions of individual investors. In the evaluation of dominating factors, it was found that   risk avoidance is the most significant and the strongest factor that influences the individual investors’ investment intentions. This paper suggests that investment managers should work on strategies to change the risk avoidance behaviour of investors. Moreover, findings suggest that the cultural aspect is more important, and the level of risk avoidance should be kept in mind while offering stocks in the market. The Security Exchange Commission of Pakistan can prepare risk-adjusted products to enhance the level of intentions among the individual investors in Pakistan.

The theory of enterprise financial management offers number of methods used in practice which serve as basis for investment decision making and as a mode of feedback on its effectivity and impacts. Most of these methods are appropriate mainly for enterprise financial management whose main objective is market value maximisation or profit maximisation. But important elements of present-day economy are also enterprises pursuing a higher objective than profit. In European Union countries this role is played particularly by social enterprises in the form of profit-making or non-profitmaking organizations which quite often obtain public-budget-based support. Undoubtedly, social enterprise as a whole may be viewed as so-called social investment. Measuring of real impact of this type of investment is important not only for social entrepreneurs but also for public authorities or bodies and it requires application of different methods. Research objective of this article is to propose a set of methods which can be used to measure social enterprise contribution effectively and comprehensively by social entrepreneurs or public authorities.
