Definition

  • Uncertainty pertains where experience fails to yield sufficiently similar states of affairs for frequency classification and the assignment of weightings; it is unmeasurable. It is uncertainty that makes it possible for people to identify wealth-creating opportunities and exploit them through the consolidating effects of organizing.
