A Comprehensive Review of the Novel Weighting Methods for Multi-Criteria Decision-Making
(MDPI, 2023) Abacıoğlu, Seda; Ayan, Büşra; Basilio, Marcio Pereira
In the realm of multi-criteria decision-making (MCDM) problems, the selection of a weighting method holds a critical role. Researchers from diverse fields have consistently employed MCDM techniques, utilizing both traditional and novel methods to enhance the discipline. Acknowledging the significance of staying abreast of such methodological developments, this study endeavors to contribute to the field through a comprehensive review of several novel weighting-based methods: CILOS, IDOCRIW, FUCOM, LBWA, SAPEVO-M, and MEREC. Each method is scrutinized in terms of its characteristics and steps while also drawing upon publications extracted from the Web of Science (WoS) and Scopus databases. Through bibliometric and content analyses, this study delves into the trend, research components (sources, authors, countries, and affiliations), application areas, fuzzy implementations, hybrid studies (use of other weighting and/or ranking methods), and application tools for these methods. The findings of this review offer an insightful portrayal of the applications of each novel weighting method, thereby contributing valuable knowledge for researchers and practitioners within the field of MCDM.

A Configurational Analysis of the Impact of Entrepreneurial Orientation and Global Mindset on Export Performance of Smes
(SAGE Publications Inc., 2024) Matemane, R.; Mintah, R.; Şahin, F.; Karadağ, H.
Although contemporary literature provides several important insights into the role of attributes of SMEs, there is much less evidence on what configuration of entrepreneurial orientation and global mindset makes this process successful, that is, contributing to the export performance of SMEs. This study uses a fuzzy set qualitative comparative analysis on a sample of 97 SMEs in Ghana to explore the potential complementary role between the entrepreneurial orientation dimensions and global mindset for superior export performance. The results indicate two different yet equifinal configurations of these factors that lead to a high level of export performance of SMEs. One of the configurations shows that proactive and innovative SMEs with managers high on global mindset achieve superior export performance regardless of their willingness to take risks. Another configuration indicates that regardless of the global mindset of managers, SMEs can achieve higher export performance by being proactive, innovative, and willing to take high risks. Several implications for theory and practice are discussed based on the findings. © The Author(s) 2024.

An Analysis of E-Business Research Topics
(2015) Turan, Semen Son
Due to its interdisciplinary nature and its pace in penetrating into various facets of everyday activities, ebusiness has become an increasingly popular topic over the last two decades. While early 1990s e-business research grounded in ICT (information communication technology) theories covered topics such as, internal systems capabilities, adoption, and technology investments' impact on success, the new millennium with the dot. com crash, witnessed a flux of interest in performance management, value creation and strategy formulation. Related intellectual capital literature grew, accompanied by technology mergers and acquisitions underscoring the need for valuing. digital capital.. This entire technological craze in adopting to change is necessitating the adoption of a futuristic vision on part of professionals and academicians. This paper attempts to offer a roadmap for interdisciplinary scholars by providing insight of what has been studied so far in e-business research, what topics face extinction due to technological advancement and what the future beholds for us in this realm. Its distinctiveness lies in its use of an integrated methodology combining broad literature review (spanning through the almost two decade-long lifetime of e-business literature between the years 1995-2013) and content analysis of 41 global e-business events organized by prominent academic and professional institutions in 2013. The trilingual (Turkish, English and German) keyword search process used in reaching current event information and the translation of such into English, may spearhead future studies of this kind. To the best of the knowledge at hand, this study is the first to provide a comprehensive literature review of past e-business research from a generalist perspective and utilize practitioners' event as a tool for forecasting future research topics.

Big Five Personality Traits, Entrepreneurial Self-Efficacy and Entrepreneurial Intention: a Configurational Approach
(Emerald Group Publishing Ltd., 2019) Tuncer, Büşra; Şahin Faruk; Karadağ, Hande
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.

Brand Trust for Digital-Only Bank Brands: Consumer Insights From an Emerging Market
(ATLAS, 2020) Tosun, Petek
Financial services are increasingly evolving and moving towards digital service models. New technologies and the rapid diffusion of the internet are introducing new business models in the banking industry, by providing many alternatives for reaching and interacting with customers. One of the new banking business models is digital-only banking. Digital-only bank brands are servicing in digital platforms without providing any traditional branch services. However, in many countries, banks are still operating within conventional service models, so some changes in laws and regulations may be required to provide digital-only banking services. Besides such structural and institutional requirements, positive consumer attitudes toward working with digital-only brands are prerequisites for any brand to be successful in the highly competitive financial services market. Positive consumer attitudes are especially important in the digital- only banking context since preferring a bank brand with a large network of established branches is still essential for building brand trust for many customers. Therefore, financial services institutions need to have a deep understanding of consumer perceptions and the antecedents of brand trust regarding digital-only banking. This study aims to explore consumer motives and elements of building customer trust for a digital-only banking brand in an emerging market context. Consumer insights were obtained as a result of a pilot study, which included preliminary interviews with retail banking customers. The interviews have shown that trust is the core factor for bank preference. Digital-only brands have the risk of being perceived as untrustworthy. Positive word-of-mouth, clear procedures, reliable terms and conditions, having responsive and effective customer services teams, and solving customer complaints fast are stated as important points to build brand trust for digital-only brands. This exploratory study may provide a basis for future empirical studies. The findings will be beneficial for the policy- makers, marketing managers of financial services institutions, and researchers who want to understand customer expectations.
Building The Capabilities For Managing Uncertainty In Entrepreneurial Contexts: A Sensemaking Approach
(Eurasian Journal of Researches in Social and Economics (EJRSE), 2019) Karadağ, Hande
How entrepreneurs act upon the uncertainties from the initiation to the finalization of the entrepreneurial venture creation process is an area where the amount of conceptual and empirical research studies is significantly limited. In this study, a novel approach to entrepreneurial cognition is introduced for filling this gap in the literature, by employing the elements of sensemaking theory to entrepreneurial cognition, proposing that entrepreneurs engage in a purposed sensemaking process during their entrepreneurial experience. As individual entrepreneurs develop certain skills and capabilities for succeeding in their entrepreneurial acts, the study further argues that entrepreneurial sensemaking can be regarded as an important capability which can be improved to carry the individual entrepreneur from chaos towards a more organized condition. With its unique approach to how high levels of uncertainty are perceived and acted upon by the entrepreneurs, the study is expected to make a significant contribution to both sensemaking and entrepreneurship literature.

Can Managers Become Entrepreneurs? a Moderated Mediation Model of Entrepreneurial Intention
(John Wiley and Sons, 2020) Şahin, Faruk; Karadağ, Hande
This 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.

Cash, Receivables and Inventory Management Practices in Small Enterprises: Their Associations With Financial Performance and Competitiveness
(Taylor & Francis, 2018) Karadağ, Hande
This article examines cash, receivables and inventory management in small businesses and their associations with financial performance and competitiveness. The data used in the study is collected from 188 small and medium-sized enterprises through structured questionnaires and four hypotheses are tested by using structural equation modelling (SEM). Findings of the regression analyses show that the higher degree of conduct of receivables and cash management practices is positively associated with financial performance while a weaker degree of association is found for inventory management practices. The results also indicate a significantly strong positive correlation between financial performance and business competitiveness. The study aims to contribute to both financial management and small business management literatures with its focus on working capital management practices and competitiveness associations through improved financial performance and offers valuable implications to small business owner/managers and regulators, by proposing financial performance as a crucial factor that enhances competitiveness in small businesses.

Compliance and Reporting Trends: Essential Strategies
(Springer, 2017) Son-Turan, Semen
The digital age, with decreasing barriers to entry, paving the way for low-cost competition, saw an influx of new financial products and services globally. Soon the increasingly technology-driven financial landscape transformed itself with the democratization of finance diffusing to all levels of society. The standing rules and regulations of financial markets were confronted with an epitome of complexities marked by higher transparency, increased efficiencies, a wide range of substitutes, abundant information, a huge number of stakeholders and a bulk of aspiring entrepreneurs. However, a new game necessitates new rules, and a considerable disruption in old ways of doing is sure to witness unorthodox problems that need to be dealt with, and preferably foreseen, through a different lens. Sooner or later, these new digitally enhanced financial markets are destined to break down, dragging down everyone who once had faith in them, if not supported by proper compliance and corporate social performance and reporting standards. This chapter explores newly emerging trends in compliance and reporting standards for financial institutions.

Consumer Complaining Behavior in Hospitality Management
(Taylor & Francis, 2021) Tosun, Petek; Sezgin, Selime; Uray, Nimet
The purpose of this study is to investigate the impacts of assertiveness, aggressiveness, and perceived risks on consumer complaining behavior (CCB) in the tourism and hospitality sector. This research utilized a quantitative methodology through the implementation of a two-stage study based on surveys. Study 1 examined the impacts of assertiveness, aggressiveness, and perceived risks on CCB in the context of low-quality summer vacation, while Study 2 further investigated the relationships in the research model by replicating the survey within the framework of high-quality summer vacation. The results were then analyzed through factor and regression analyses. Both of the studies demonstrated that assertiveness positively influences CCB directly and also indirectly via the mediating effect of perceived risks. It was found that aggressiveness positively influences CCB when consumers have high service quality expectations but when they have low expectations for service quality, it is insignificant.
