A Comparative Analysis on the Relationship Between Institutional Environment and Entrepreneurship in Emerging Economies
(2018) Karadağ, Hande; 04.03. Department of Business Administration; 04. Faculty of Economics, Administrative and Social Sciences; 01. MEF University
Institutional environment plays an important role in the quality and nature of entrepreneurial activities and the development of entrepreneurship ecosystem. The aim of this research is to evaluate institutional factors of selected emerging markets with Global Entrepreneurship and Development Index data. Findings of the study indicate that Turkey has one of the lowest scores among other emerging markets for the institutional variable of staff training and also has comparably low scores in venture capital, business strategy, and technology transfer. Results of the study show that except South Korea, all the selected economies have scored low on the institutional variable of gross domestic expenditure on research and development as a percentage of the gross domestic product. The study is expected to make valuable contributions to the literature with its novel approach of using comparative Global Entrepreneurship and Development Index scores for analyzing the institutional environment and entrepreneurship relationship in emerging economies.

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.; 04.03. Department of Business Administration; 04. Faculty of Economics, Administrative and Social Sciences; 01. MEF University
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.

Big Five Personality Traits, Entrepreneurial Self-Efficacy and Entrepreneurial Intention: a Configurational Approach
(Emerald Group Publishing Ltd., 2019) Tuncer, Büşra; Şahin Faruk; Karadağ, Hande; 04.03. Department of Business Administration; 04. Faculty of Economics, Administrative and Social Sciences; 01. MEF University
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.

Building The Capabilities For Managing Uncertainty In Entrepreneurial Contexts: A Sensemaking Approach
(Eurasian Journal of Researches in Social and Economics (EJRSE), 2019) Karadağ, Hande; 04.03. Department of Business Administration; 04. Faculty of Economics, Administrative and Social Sciences; 01. MEF University
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; 04.03. Department of Business Administration; 04. Faculty of Economics, Administrative and Social Sciences; 01. MEF University
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; 04.03. Department of Business Administration; 04. Faculty of Economics, Administrative and Social Sciences; 01. MEF University
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.

Consumer Complaining Behavior in Hospitality Management
(Taylor & Francis, 2021) Tosun, Petek; Sezgin, Selime; Uray, Nimet; 04.03. Department of Business Administration; 04. Faculty of Economics, Administrative and Social Sciences; 01. MEF University
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.

Covid-19 Sonrası Yükseköğretim
(Deomed, 2020) Erkut, Erhan; 01. MEF University
Higher education is one of the most severely impacted sectors by Covid-19. Almost all schools worldwide had to stop face-to-face education and approximately 2 billions students were forced to get their education online. This pandemic demonstrated that the Turkish higher education system was not well-prepared for a crisis of this proportion, nor was it ready for effective online teaching. High-quality online education is a fact of life now, and administrators, as well as faculty members have an important task on hand. In this opinion piece, 1 offered some ideas about improving the quality of online education, and discussed other impacts of this pandemic on higher education, along with some warnings. I believe this pandemic offers an opportunity for the outdated higher education system worldwide and the universities (and countries) that adopt quickly will be the winners.
Destination Personalities of Alacati and Ayvalik in Turkey: Consumer Perceptions of a Summer Holiday
(2019) Tosun, Petek; Merve Akar; 04.03. Department of Business Administration; 04. Faculty of Economics, Administrative and Social Sciences; 01. MEF University
In 2018 summer, Alaçatı and Ayvalık have been listed among the top cities that are preferred as tourism destinations for local tourists. These destinations have been popular for tourists in the last decade and Turkish tourists increasingly prefer local destinations for their summer holidays because of the devalued Turkish lira. Attracting tourists is among the primary goals for tourism marketers, and consequently understanding customer perceptions regarding destinations is one of the key factors to achieve this goal. In this context, the purpose of this study is to examine the destination personalities of Ayvalık and Alaçatı and compare them in terms of destination personality dimensions. In a quantitative research design, respondents (n=191) have been asked about their perceptions about the destination personalities of Alaçatı and Ayvalık, in which they compare the two destinations on a 5 Point-Likert scale. Destination personalities have been examined within the conceptual framework of destination personality dimensions, which are, sincerity, excitement, and conviviality. In addition, respondents have answered a question by writing their opinions about “a great summer vacation” with a few words, which have been analyzed by content and cluster analyses, aiming to have a deeper understanding about the consumer perceptions about their summer vacations. Significant differences have been found between the destination personality dimensions of Ayvalık and Alaçatı. Ayvalık is perceived as sincerer and more convivial than Alaçatı, whereas Alaçatı is perceived as more exciting than Ayvalık. Regarding their expectations from their summer holiday, consumers have been grouped into 4 clusters such as; (1) fun, excitement, and activity oriented, (2) travelling and exploring oriented, (3) family and friends oriented, (4) relaxation, comfort, and silence-oriented consumers. There is not a significant difference among clusters regarding the perceived destination personalities of Ayvalık and Alaçatı. This study aims to contribute to researchers not only by implementing destination personality research in the Turkish context, but also by extending the existing knowledge by assessing destination personality concept together with the consumers’ descriptions of an idealized summer vacation. Moreover, findings of the study will be beneficial for marketing activities of tourism agencies, hospitality industry, and local governments.

Developmental Health Services Leadership: Integrating Hierarchical and Shared Leadership for Health Services Organizational Learning
(2015) Pearce, Craig L.; 01. MEF University
The purpose of this article is to articulate a model of, as well as a call to action for, health services leadership, with a particular emphasis on the role of health services leadership in organizational learning. More specifically, I articulate a model that poses two antecedents of health services hierarchical leadership-leader responsibility disposition and environmental cues-as important predictors of empowering leadership. In turn, I assert that empowering leadership from above will engender an inclination toward shared leadership among followers. Subsequently, I venture that both empowering hierarchical leadership and shared leadership are precursors of health services organizational learning. I specify several research directions for future scholarship. More importantly, I identify multiple measures that policy makers and practitioners can take to enhance health services leadership and organizational learning.

Disentangling the Dynamic Digital Capability, Digital Transformation, and Organizational Performance Relationships in Smes: a Configurational Analysis Based on Fsqca
(Springer, 2024) Saunila, Minna; Karadağ, Hande; Şahin, Faruk; Karamollaoğlu, Nazlı; 04.03. Department of Business Administration; 04.01. Department of Economics; 04. Faculty of Economics, Administrative and Social Sciences; 01. MEF University
While digitalization has become inevitable for firms of every size, a limited number of studies to date aimed to investigate the impact of digital capabilities and digital transformation on the organizational performance of small businesses. Drawing on the dynamic capabilities view, the current study analyzes the conditions under which the dynamic digital capability of a small and medium-sized enterprise (SME) would lead to higher performance. In this study, a unique fuzzy-set qualitative comparative analysis methodology was used for analyzing the data collected from 136 SMEs for investigating the IT utilization, human capital, digital maturity, and digitalization strategy antecedents of dynamic digital capability. The results reveal that two particular configurations of dynamic digital capability are identified as the main digitalization influencers of organizational performance in SMEs. To the best of our knowledge, this study presents the first empirical findings to the literature about dynamic digital capability and organizational performance relationships in SMEs through the utilization of configurational analysis methodology. Theoretically, the study addresses an acknowledged need for a holistic approach to uncover the underlying mechanisms of dynamic digital capability formation and digital transformation in small firms, with their impact on firm performance. The findings also present vital practical implications for business owners, policy-makers, and bodies responsible for SMEs, by providing new insights about the combination of factors that drive high performance, particularly at times of turbulence, in these units.

Drivers of Cultural Success: the Case of Sensory Metaphors
(2015) Berger, Jonah; Akpınar, Ezgi; 04.03. Department of Business Administration; 04. Faculty of Economics, Administrative and Social Sciences; 01. MEF University
Why do some cultural items catch on and become more popular than others? Language is one of the basic foundations of culture. But what leads some phrases to become more culturally successful? There are multiple ways to convey the same thing and phrases with similar meanings often act as substitutes, competing for usage. A not so friendly person, for example, can be described as unfriendly or cold. We study how the senses shape cultural success, suggesting that compared with their semantic equivalents (e.g., unfriendly person), phrases which relate to senses in metaphoric ways (e.g., cold person) should be more culturally successful. Data from 5 million books over 200 years support this prediction: Sensory metaphors are used more frequently over time than are their semantic equivalents. Experimental evidence demonstrates that sensory metaphors are more memorable because they relate more to the senses and have more associative cues. These findings shed light on how senses shape language and the psychological foundations of culture more broadly.
Dynamic capabilities and entrepreneurial management: A review of selected works of David J. Teece
(Journal of Social and Administrative Sciences, 2019) Karadağ, Hande; 04.03. Department of Business Administration; 04. Faculty of Economics, Administrative and Social Sciences; 01. MEF University
Dynamic capabilities framework which is the combination of internal processes, resource utilization and structural transformations that have to be strategically formulated and managed for gaining sustained competitive advantage in rapidly changing environments became largely influential not only in strategic management field but had a significant impact on several areas of management (Di Stefano, et al., 2010, Barreto, 2010). After the introduction of the dynamic capabilities approach, the contributions from the initiator of the approach David J. Teece and several other important strategy and management scholars gave way to the development of a new capabilities theory of the ‚innovative‛ firm as well the evolution of the fresh domain of entrepreneurial management. The current review aims to analyze the antecedents of dynamic capabilities and the development of this new theory through the works of David J. Teece and acknowledge his crucial contribution to fields of management, strategy, and entrepreneurship.
Eğitimde Küreselleşme: Türkiye’deki Uluslararası Öğrenciler Üzerine Bir Çalışma
(2024) Mutlu, Ceyhan; 04.03. Department of Business Administration; 04. Faculty of Economics, Administrative and Social Sciences; 01. MEF University
Bu çalışmanın amacı, küreselleşmenin eğitim üzerindeki sonuçlarını incelerken, Türkiye’deki uluslararası öğrenciler üzerine bir araştırma yapmaktır. Bu öğrencilerin sayıları, eğitim düzeyleri, bölümleri ve uyruklarına göre dağılımları Yükseköğretim Kurulu (YÖK) tarafından yayımlanan istatistiksel veriler kullanılarak ele alınmaktadır. Bu verilerin analizinde nitel araştırma yöntemlerinden biri olan genel tarama yaklaşımı kullanılmaktadır. Tarama yöntemleri, örneklem boyutunun büyük olduğu araştırmalarda sıklıkla kullanılan bir analiz yöntemi olmaktadır. Daha rasyonel sonuçlara ulaşabilmek için araştırmanın kapsamı son beş yılla sınırlandırılmıştır. Elde edilen bulgulara göre, Türkiye'deki uluslararası öğrenci sayısının her geçen yıl arttığı gözlemlenmektedir. En fazla tercih edilen öğrenim düzeyi lisans olurken, en fazla tercih edilen bölümün ise işletme bölümü olduğu görülmektedir. Bu öğrencilerin genellikle Türkiye’nin komşu ülkelerinden, Orta Doğu ve Afrika ülkelerinden geldiği, ancak öğrencilerin mezuniyet oranlarına baktığımızda ise, Avrupa’dan gelen öğrencilerin daha başarılı olduğu gözlemlenmektedir.
