No full textSmall and medium sized enterprises (SMEs) are acknowledged worldwide as the drivers of socio-economic development due to their important role in GDP growth, new job creation and entrepreneurship. Despite the immense impact of the most severe economic crisis modern world has witnessed on the SME sector, number of scholarly studies focusing on the investigation of the performance factors of the SME sector during and after the crisis is interestingly very limited.This study aims to fill this gap in the SME literature, by conducting comparative analyses on main indicators of SME sector performance in major advanced and emerging economies.Findings of the study indicate that, economic growth and development of SME sector are closely linked in both developed and developing economies, while new venture creation, employment and value-added contribution oft he SME sector to the economy significantly differ across different contexts, within the post-crisis era
Küçük ve orta ölçekli işletmelerde uluslararasılaşma: küresel doğan işletmelerin süreç, strateji ve örgütsel yetkinlikleri üzerine bir değerlendirme
No full textKüçük ve orta ölçekli işletmeler ile çok uluslu işletmelerin uluslararasılaşmaları, bu işletmelerin gerek yapısal gerekse kaynak erişimlerindeki farklılıklar nedeniyle birbirine benzer olmayan süreçler izlemektedir. Uppsala modelinin öncülüğünü yaptığı ve yenilikçi ve ağ kurma yaklaşımları ile devam eden küçük işletme uluslararasılaşma yaklaşımları, bu firmaların yavaş ve kademeli bir uluslararasılaşma sürecinden geçtiğini öngörmektedir. Bu aşamaları izlemeyerek kuruldukları ilk günlerden itibaren uluslararası pazarlara hitap eden küresel doğan işletmeler, özellikle son yirmi yıldır giderek artan sayıda kuramsal ve ampirik çalışmaya konu olmaktadır. Konu çalışmada, bu firmaların ortaya çıkışları ve süreçleri ile birlikte, uluslararası pazarlarda rekabet avantajı elde etmelerini sağlayan pazara giriş ve rekabet stratejileri ile örgütsel yetkinlikleri mercek altına alınmıştır. Çalışmanın sonuçları, bu işletmelerin rekabet ve pazara giriş stratejilerinin içsel özelliklerine göre heterojenlik gösterebildiğini, buna karşın yenilikçi ve girişimci kültüre sahip olma, yüksek teknoloji kullanımı, yönetim becerileri yüksek küresel vizyona sahip kurucular ve pazarlama ve öğrenme başta olmak üzere örgütsel yetkinliklerini geliştirme kapasitesi gibi ortak özellklerinin sürdürülebilir rekabet avantajı elde etmelerinde önemli rol oynadığını ortaya koymaktadır.30647
User-generated and brand-generated content as indicators of university brand personality and business strategy
No full textThe rising competition and social media usage increased the importance of university brand personality and strategic marketing in higher education. This study explores the interrelationships between brand-generated content (BGC) and user-generated content (UGC) on social media and universities’ competitive strategy and brand personality. BGC that included four universities’ tweets and UGC that consisted of consumer comments were analyzed by content and correspondence analysis in R programming language. The findings indicated that BGC was in alignment with universities’ generic strategies. BGC-UGC dispersions across brand personality were in alignment for the differentiator university, while there was a mismatch between BGC and UGC for low-cost universities. The differentiator university was associated with being prestigious, cosmopolitan, and conscientious, while the low-cost universities were associated with sincerity. The findings supported the applicability of generic business strategies to the higher education context and showed the strategic link between brand personality and the pursued generic strategy.WOS:0007779273000012-s2.0-85129201804Social Sciences Citation IndexArticle; Early AccessUluslararası işbirliği ile yapılmayan - HAYIRAprilYÖK - 2021-22Nisa
Can managers become entrepreneurs? A moderated mediation model of entrepreneurial intention
No full textThis study investigates the role of entrepreneurial knowledge on the formation of entrepreneurial intentions in a sample of 190 middle‐level managers by extending the theory of planned behaviour (TPB). Findings indicate that entrepreneurial knowledge has a significant and positive effect on entrepreneurial intention (EI), whereas personal attitude (PA) and personal behavioural control (PBC) mediate the relationship between entrepreneurial knowledge and intention. Findings also indicate that the third construct of TPB, namely social norm, moderates the mediating role of the indirect intention effect of entrepreneurial knowledge through PA and PBC differently. Together, the findings suggest several directions for managers and organizations, as well as policy‐makers, who are responsible for creating more productive and innovative entrepreneurial ventures.WOS:0005837477000012-s2.0-85096709316Social Sciences Citation IndexArticle; Early AccessUluslararası işbirliği ile yapılmayan - HAYIRKasımYÖK - 2020-2
Big five personality traits, entrepreneurial self-efficacy and entrepreneurial intention: a configurational approach
No full textHande Karadağ (MEF Author)Purpose: The literature considers the big five personality traits and entrepreneurial self-efficacy (ESE) to be important individual-level factors that determine entrepreneurial intention. However, little is known about the profiles of personal characteristics of individuals who express a high level of entrepreneurial intention. The purpose of this paper is to carry out a comparative analysis of personal characteristics that contribute to new business start-up intention. Design/methodology/approach: Using survey data from two samples, fuzzy set qualitative comparative analysis (fsQCA) was performed to extract patterns of personal characteristics (i.e. the big five personality traits and ESE) that impact entrepreneurial intention. Findings: The outcomes of the analyses demonstrate that a high level of entrepreneurial intention can be realized through multiple configurations of the big five personality traits and ESE. Practical implications: This paper can inform practice on entrepreneurship education. Specifically, the paper includes implications for the development of ESE, and for understanding multiple configurations of personal characteristics that lead to a high level of entrepreneurial intention. Originality/value: This paper addresses an identified need to understand how personal characteristics operate conjointly and among individuals. © 2019, Emerald Publishing Limited.WOS:0004819201000022-s2.0-85061797352Social Sciences Citation IndexArticleUluslararası işbirliği ile yapılmayan - HAYIREylülYÖK - 2019-2

From Thread to Fabric: Anthropology and Its Interpreters
No full textIn the Conclusion of the book edited by Hande Birkalan Gedik and Fabiana Dimpfelmeier, the author traces the dynamics between the thread and the fabric, going back to Fredric Barth's seminal 2000 Sydney Mintz lecture, published in 2002. Using different examples, from ideas that speak of global anthropological concerns, to the more particular issues of what it means to produce (and use) the anthropological knowledge, the chapter emphasizes the need to understand different regional traditions.This open access edition of ‘Fabrics of Anthropological Knowledge: Changing Perspectives in Europe and Beyond’,
