正确答案：D
解析： 首先，Dell和Microsoft都是全球著名的大公司，所以首先可以排除C。在倒数第3段中提到，“Taking planned，calculated risks is the job of big，established companies，”接着在最后一段中又提到，“Big companies may be happy with risk”，由此可见，大公司不是不去冒险，而是会将风险控制在可以掌控的情况之下，冒险之前必先做出仔细的研究才踏出第一步，所以B不对。从最后一段中的“but only when they know the odds．When the odds are unknown，entrepreneurs have the game to themselves，”可见，大企业在投资一个项目之前一定会对所承担风险作精确的估测，不会轻易冒险。由此可得出，A是不对的，而D才是正确的。
