    A Configurational Analysis of the Impact of Entrepreneurial Orientation and Global Mindset on Export Performance of Smes
    (SAGE Publications Inc., 2024-12-05) 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.

    Strategic Financial Management for Small and Medium Sized Companies
    (Emerald Group Publishing Ltd., 2015) Karadağ, Hande
    Research shows the majority of small businesses fail in their early years due to poor financial management, turning the dreams of many business owners and novice entrepreneurs into nightmares. This book serves as a guide to prevent these financial disasters. In an applicable fashion, Karadag explains how financial management in an enterprise can be conducted strategically to attain significant improvement in business performance. Karadag takes the basic strategic management model of environmental scanning-planning-implementing-feedback as a framework, and approaches the core financial practices and instruments as elements of strategic financial management, which any small or medium sized enterprise can use as tools for sustainable organizational performance and growth. With its unique strategic outlook, this text is a vital reference for nonfinancier small or medium sized enterprise owners and individuals who aim to successfully establish and run their own businesses. © 2015 Emerald Group Publishing Limited.

    Disentangling the Dynamic Digital Capability, Digital Transformation, and Organizational Performance Relationships in Smes: a Configurational Analysis Based on Fsqca
    (Springer, 2024-09-02) Saunila, Minna; Karadağ, Hande; Şahin, Faruk; Karamollaoğlu, Nazlı
    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.

    The Antecedents of Career Change Intention in Middle-Level Managers: the Role of Job and Career Satisfaction
    (Personnel Review, 2022-10-21) Şahin, Faruk; Karadağ, Hande
    Purpose – This investigates the interrelationships between job and career satisfaction and career changeintention through the extension of the theory of planned behavior (TPB).Design/methodology/approach – The data for the study is collected from 219 top and middle-levelmanagers and analyzed through partial least squares path structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM).Findings – Findings indicate that job and career satisfaction have a significant and negative impact onpersonal attitude toward career change and subjective norms, whereas all three constructs of the TPB influence the intention to change career. In addition, the mediation of personal attitude and subjective norm pathways were found to be significant for both job and career satisfaction and career change intention relationships, while no mediation effect was identified for the perceived behavior control construct of the TPB.Research limitations/implications – The results suggest important theoretical and practical implications.First, a novel model of mediation between job and career satisfaction and the intention to turn away from an existing career is introduced between job and career satisfaction and career change intention associations for testing the full TPB framework.Practical implications – The findings imply that the impact of cognitive factors, including having a positiveopinion about the potential outcomes of switching to a new career, the level of pressure exerted by significant third parties about making a career change, and the self-belief about making this change happen should be closely investigated when examining the determinants of career change intention.Originality/value – To the best of the authors’ knowledge, this is the first empirical research study that teststhe impact of the determinants of TPB on career change intention within a sample of professional managers from an emerging economy context.

    Locus of Control, Need for Achievement, and Entrepreneurial Intention: a Moderated Mediation Model
    (Elsevier, 2022-07-01) Tuncer, Büşra; Uysal, Şenay Karakuş; Şahin, Faruk; Karadağ, Hande; Uysala, Senay Karakus
    Applying social cognitive career theory (Lent, Brown, & Hackett, 2002) to entrepreneurship, this paper addresses the effects of locus of control and need for achievement on entrepreneurial intentions, and whether the effects are mediated by entrepreneurial self-efficacy and vary according to sex. The participants were 111 students enrolled in the business administration program in Turkey. Using longitudinal survey data, the research model was tested with the moderated mediation procedure suggested by Hayes (2013). The findings showed that entrepreneurial self-efficacy mediated the relationship between locus of control and entrepreneurial intention, as well as the relationship between need for achievement and entrepreneurial intention. Moreover, the conditional indirect analysis showed that the effect of locus of control on entrepreneurial intention depended on sex, with the effect of locus of control being greater for men. By showing empirical evidence for the usefulness of social cognitive career theory to entrepreneurship, our research adds to current literature. Implications for practice and recommendations for future research are discussed.

    Can Managers Become Entrepreneurs? a Moderated Mediation Model of Entrepreneurial Intention
    (John Wiley and Sons, 2020-11-02) 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.

    Strategic International Trade Financing in Small and Medium Sized Businesses
    (Emerald Group Publishing Ltd., 2015) Karadağ, Hande
    Growth is the most significant indicator of performance in SMEs, as previous research shows that, businesses which cannot grow hardly survive. Internationalization, which is also an act of entrepreneurship, is a strategy in search of opportunities for firm growth and wealth, where new or small businesses want to achieve higher amount of sales volumes by entering into foreign markets. Market conditions in these different contexts may also carry the opportunity besides growth, by offering increased the profit margins for products and/or services, which is another motivation of pursuing internationalization strategy for SMEs
