    (Springer International Publishing, 2020) Son Turan, Semen
    With the rise and fall of the prominence of Bitcoin, blockchain technology,which provides public online ledgers used for the verification and recording oftransactions, has started to become the center of attention for diverse parties in theglobal financial system. This chapter explores the nature of blockchain and discusseshow it may contribute to, or obstruct, sustainability. To this end, first, blockchaintechnology is introduced. Next, a short discussion on sustainability is presented,including how it is defined, measured, reported, and understood in theoreticalframeworks. After that, the 2015 United Nations Sustainable Development Goalsare briefly explained. This is followed by a systematic literature review, whichhighlights the scarcity of literature linking blockchain to sustainability. Finally, theauthor offers her own reflections on the potential of blockchain to revolutionize thefinancial services industry and weighs up the pros and cons vis-a-vis sustainable development.

    (Sosyoekonomi Society, 2018) Son-Turan, Semen
    This study aims at developing a model for the privatization of higher education finance inTurkey. While the primary target is the NEET (Not in Education, Employment, or Training)population, it offers a broad range of potential solutions involving asset securitization for highereducation financing. Data is driven from secondary sources. The paper presents an interdisciplinaryapproach for privatizing higher education finance involving the labor market, higher educationinstitutions and the Turkish capital market and constitutes a unique contribution to the Turkish highereducation finance literature.

    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.

    Tokenization and Nfts: a Tokenized Income Sharing Model for Higher Education as a Potential Solution for Student Debt in the Usa
    (Springer Nature, 2023) Son Turan, Semen
    This study focuses on how to tokenize educational assets and discusses how tokenization and non-fungible tokens (NFTs) can be operationalized and adopted to the higher education landscape to provide funds for students during their higher education studies. To that end, it builds upon the income-contingent loans and higher education funding literature to propose a system that captures the value of the student’s potential future income streams as a token to be offered to higher education stakeholders willing to invest in a young person’s future, make an impact toward the Sustainable Development Goals, or simply, to diversify their portfolios and hedge against market downturns. The Future Income Token “FIT” is conceptually devised through a literature review and builds on previous findings by the author. This interdisciplinary study fits into the blockchain, crowdfunding, and higher education finance literature. Given the increasing difficulty of mobilizing funds for higher education and, the almost universal, growing student loan default problem, it asks the question: What aspects of higher education tokenomics may give higher education stakeholders the incentive to contribute to a student’s education, that other forms of financing do not? Policy makers, practitioners, as well as theoreticians can benefit from the ideas and the findings of the study. © 2023, The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Switzerland AG.

    Sustainability Disclosure in Higher Education: a Comparative Analysis of Reports and Websites of Public and Private Universities in Turkey
    (Emerald Group Publishing Ltd., 2019) Son Turan, Semen; Lambrechts, Wim
    Purpose : The purpose of this paper is to explain the extent and content of the sustainability disclosure of public and foundation (private but not-for-profit) universities in Turkey. Design/methodology/approach : Subsequent to a systematic literature review of six academic databases and the National Thesis Center, a content analysis using a combination of Global Reporting Initiative and campus assessment tools from previous studies is conducted on stand-alone sustainability reports and websites of a purposive sample of eight universities in Turkey. Findings : Infrequent and unsystematic sustainability practice done through websites seems to be more prevalent than formal reporting through international initiatives. Research and practice diverge by focusing on different sustainability indicators. Sustainability needs to be integrated into teaching and curriculum through university policies and regulations. Foundation universities show greater effort in sustainability reporting than public universities. Research limitations/implications : The research is limited by the availability of mostly self-reported, dispersed and unaudited data by foundation universities in addition to framework-imposed specificities. Furthermore, there is only one public university with a formal sustainability report in the sample.Practical implications : The findings offer suggestions for developing extra sustainability indicators and may assist local policy-makers and researchers in their efforts to improve sustainability reporting by local universities.Originality/value : This comprehensive research effort is one of the few studies from a non-Western country perspective and the only study on Turkey in relation to universities and sustainability reporting. Keywords : Citation Son-Turan, S. and Lambrechts, W. (2019), "Sustainability disclosure

    Improved Business Model Representation of Innovation Concepts
    (World Conference on Technology, Innovation and Entrepreneurship, 2015) Dorantes-Gonzalez, Dante Jorge; Küçükaydın, Hande; Özlem, Şirin; Bulgan, Gökçe; Aydın, Utkun; Son Turan, Semen; Karamollaoğlu, Nazlı; Teixeira, Frederico Fialho
    Except for academics and consultants, the concept and purpose of innovation (not to mention related concepts such as “Open Innovation", "Free-Intellectual Property Innovation," or "Open Source Innovation") is usually unclear for most entrepreneurs and other practitioners. It often times happens that newly coined terminology becomes misleading or may even include a certain degree of sensationalism, hence turning into a matter of debate for specialists in the realm of technology management. Such has been the case for the term “Open Innovation”, since the word “open” is mainly related to crowd sourced innovation, but not for the openness on intellectual property rights. Since innovation is about the commercialization of original ideas, so we propose a simple and visual business model setting to resolve these concepts. To this regard, the “Business Model Canvas” has been used in business and entrepreneurship to sketch and frame the key points behind the development of a startup. This model was suggested by Alexander Osterwalder (2008) in his work on Business Model Ontology, as a strategic analysis template for developing startups or documenting existing businesses. It describes the firm’s value proposition, partners, resources, activities, customer relationships, distribution channels, customers, revenue streams and cost structure. However, when it comes to innovative startups, this template does not explicitly include such significant innovation components as intellectual property, its alignment to strategies, and intellectual property flow. The present paper proposes the use of an improved version of the Business Model Canvas to originally represent different models of innovation like Open Innovation, thus providing a clear, visual and quick representation of their meaning, and consequently, contribute to a better understanding of different concepts of innovation.

    Coprorate Sustainability Reporting: an Evaluation of Turkish Company Reports
    (MEF Üniversitesi Sosyal Bilimler Enstitüsü, 2021) İyigör, Engin; Semen Son Turan
    The effects of globalization are witnessed clearly in organizations. Interaction areas and stakeholders of organizations, which are living organisms, have moved and differentiated with globalization. This differentiation brought not only profitability but also being sustainable, added value to the society in social and economic terms. Today, it is expected that the activities of organizations are carried out within the framework of corporate social responsibility and governance principles in ecological, environmental and social terms, and the results will be presented to their stakeholders by observing the principles of transparency, accountability and openness. These expectations are met with corporate sustainability reports. This study concentrates on the corporate sustainability reports of Turkey's 500 largest (by sales) companies according to the three companies in the top five in the rankings; Türkiye Petrol Rafineleri A.Ş. (TÜPRAŞ), Türk Hava Yolları A.Ş. (THY) and OPET Petrolcülük A.Ş. (OPET)’s corporate sustainability reports were evaluated comparatively.
