Tarihsel ve toplumsal süreçler içerisinde meydana gelen değişmeler çerçevesinde kapitalizm ve din konusu, alanın gündemindeki yerini korumaktadır. Özellikle tüketici kapitalizminin gelişmesiyle birlikte kapitalizm ve din konusunun din sosyolojik açıdan kavrayışı adına bir değer kazandığı gözlenmiştir. Bu gözlemden hareketle çalışmamızın problemi, söz konusu durumu doğrudan deneyimleyen dindar muhafazakâr girişimcilerin kapitalizm ve din ilişkisini deneyimleme, bu ilişkiyi algılama ve değerlendirme biçimleridir. Çalışmamızın amacı, kapitalizm ve din ilişkisi çerçevesinde ortaya çıkan durumu dindar veya muhafazakâr sınıfın perspektifinden anlamak; incelenen duruma ilişkin deneyimlerinin içeriğini ve yapısını ortaya koymaktır. Çalışmamız nitel durum çalışması deseninde organize edilmiş olup söz konusu durumu doğrudan deneyimleyen bireylerden amaçlı örnekleme yöntemi ile seçilmiş bir çalışma grubundan katılımcı gözlem ve görüşme yoluyla toplanan veriler, nitel fenomenolojik bir analize tabi tutulmuştur. Sonuçta çalışma grubumuz örneğinde dindar-muhafazakâr girişimcilerin, kapitalizm ve din ilişkisi bağlamında ortaya çıkan duruma ilişkin deneyimleri liberal, kapitalist ekonomik sistem ve serbest piyasa koşulları ile İslami değer ve referanslar arasında bir çelişkiyle yüzleştikleri anlaşılmıştır. Söz konusu çelişkinin yarattığı gerilimi aşmak adına liberal kapitalist ekonomik sistem ve serbest piyasa koşullarında var olmanın bir gereği olarak ilgili pratiklerini, yeniden yorumlanan dini referanslarla meşrulaştırdıkları ortaya konulmuştur.

Within the framework of the changes in historical and social processes, the issue of capitalism and religion maintains its place on the agenda of the field. Especially with the development of consumer capitalism, it has been observed that the subject of capitalism and religion has gained a value in terms of sociological understanding of religion. Based on this observation, the problem of our study is how religious conservative entrepreneurs who directly experience the situation in question experience, perceive and evaluate the relationship between capitalism and religion. The aim of our study is to understand the situation emerging within the framework of the relationship between capitalism and religion from the perspective of the religious or conservative class; The aim is to reveal the content and structure of the experiences related to the situation examined. Our study was organized in a qualitative case study pattern and the data collected through participant observation and interview from a study group selected by purposeful sampling method from individuals who directly experienced the situation in question were subjected to a qualitative phenomenological analysis. As a result, in the example of our study group, it was understood that religious-conservative entrepreneurs faced a contradiction between liberal, capitalist economic system and free market conditions and Islamic values and references. In order to overcome the tension created by the contradiction in question, it has been revealed that as a necessity of existing in liberal capitalist economic system and free market conditions, they legitimize their relevant practices with reinterpreted religious references.

Kurumsal itibar kazanılması oldukça zaman isteyen bir değer olmakla birlikte işletmelerin müşteriler, rakipler, çalışanlar gibi tüm paydaşlarının gözündeki değerini ifade eden sosyal bir kimliktir. Olumlu kurumsal itibarın girişimciler ve işletmelere sağladığı birçok katkı söz konusudur. Bu bağlamda organize sanayi bölgesi girişimcilerinin bakış açılarına göre kurumsal itibarı yönelik unsurların belirlenmesi amacı ile gerçekleştirilen bu araştırmada tek bir gerçeklik üzerinde durulmadan bireylerin farklı gerçeklerinin olduğunu temel alan nitel araştırma desenlerinden olgu bilim (fenomenoloji) kullanılmıştır. Bu doğrultuda Gaziantep Organize Sanayi bölgelerinde faaliyet gösteren 18 katılımcı ile yürütülen çalışmada farklılıkları ve önemli ortak örüntülerin ortaya konulabilmesi için maksimum çeşitlilik örnekleme tekniği kullanılmıştır. Araştırma kapsamında verilere yarı yapılandırılmış görüşme formu aracılığı ile ulaşılmıştır. İçerik analizi ile elde edilen bulgulara göre organize sanayi bölgesi girişimcilerine göre itibarın tanımı, imaj ve kurumsal kimlik temaları altında toplanmaktadır. İtibarın korunması için yapılması gerekenlere yönelik algılamaları ise iletişim, müşteri odaklılık ve kurumsal yönetim temaları altında yer almaktadır. Bununla beraber girişimcilerin itibarın zedelenmesine yönelik algılamaları yolsuzluk ile üretim/imalat hataları temaları altında toplanmıştır. Ek olarak girişimcilerin itibarın korunmasına yönelik tavsiyeleri tutarlılık ve etik değerlere bağlılık temaları altında yer almaktadır.

Esnaflar ülke ekonomisinde rol oynayan ana unsurlardan biridir. Esnafların girişimcilik süreci toplumun ihtiyaçlarının karşılanması, istihdamın sağlanması, daha büyük işletmelerin müşteriye ulaşmasında köprü görevi görmesi, sermayenin daha geniş bir coğrafyaya yayılması vb. işlevleriyle ülke ekonomilerinin temel dinamiğini oluşturur. Buradan hareketle çalışmanın amacı, ülke ekonomisinin önemli bir parçası olan esnafların girişimcilik özelliklerinin neler olduğunu ortaya koymak ve bu özellikleri analiz etmektir. Denizli ticaretinin önemli bir merkezi olan Bayramyeri’nde faaliyet gösteren 250 esnaf ile anket yapılmıştır. Çalışmada örneklemi oluşturan esnafların girişimcilik özelliklerinin, sosyo-demografik özelliklere (yaş, eğitim düzeyi, faaliyette bulunulan sektör) göre anlamlı bir farklılık gösterip göstermediği elde edilen bulgular ile analiz edilmiştir. Araştırmanın örneklemini oluşturan esnafların girişimcilik düzeyleri orta seviyededir. Çalışmada başarı ihtiyacı, risk alma eğilimi, belirsizliğe tolerans, yenilik ve geleneksel zanaat bilgisi esnafların özelliği olarak ortaya çıkmıştır. Yapılan istatistiki analizler sonucunda esnafların başarı ihtiyacı yüksek, risk alma eğilimleri orta, belirsizliğe tolerans düzeyleri düşük, geleneksel zanaat bilgisi orta ve yenilik düzeyleri yüksek seviyededir. Çalışmanın sonunda araştırma sonuçları yorumlanarak, önerilerde bulunulmuştur.

Business angels’ investment decisions resemble complex equations with too many variables. Angel investing is a highly ‘personalized’ activity, therefore business angels naturally have custom evaluation criteria that are aligned with their own goals and ambitions. On the other hand, some risks are common and they are present in almost all of the potential deals. These common risks are execution risk, market risk and most importantly, agency risk. Taking into consideration the importance of these risks, this research hypothesizes that the outcome of a business angel’s due diligence process largely depends on a select group of evaluation criteria that help to measure the level of execution risk, market risk and agency risk. This research aims to 1) discover which entrepreneur-related and opportunity-related evaluation criteria shape up angel investment decisions, 2) test whether entrepreneurial team strength is the dominant factor affecting angel investment decisions. The results of this research are important for both novice business angels and entrepreneurs seeking funding from investors. Novice business angels may utilize the list of criteria as a ‘checklist’. Entrepreneurs will better understand the reasons behind business angels’ investment decisions, and thus be better prepared for their future investment pitches. This research contributes to entrepreneurship literature by examining investment decisions of Turkish business angels for the first time. It is also believed to be among the first few angel investing focused academic research in Turkey with a sample size of 100+. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In this article, tacit knowledge, which is one of the factors that affects knowledge production and dissemination is examined by using game theory. Information as a public good approach advocates government intervention or intellectual property to achieve Pareto efficiency in information production. Under tacit knowledge, Pareto efficiency can be achieved without any intervention. As argued by researchers such as Joseph Schumpeter and Friedrich Hayek, the entrepreneur's function is important in the production and dissemination of tacit knowledge. While discussing the assumptions of approaches that model tacit knowledge, we also summarize the policy implications of them. The article develops a game theoretic framework to understand the nature of tacit knowledge, and provides a strategic perspective to examine the relationships between actors and institutions (universities, firms, and entrepreneurs) involved in knowledge production.

Today, there are significant differences between countries in terms of entrepreneurship activity. Among the factors affecting such difference are cultural support and entrepreneurial features. Since such two factors are involved in the parameters affecting entrepreneurship activity and they positively affect the entrepreneurship activity, they were found to be worth examining at the micro level in this study. In addition, in this study which was conducted to determine that the entrepreneurial feature and cultural support factors are important components in providing the conditions required to create the intention to start a business, as well as in encouraging and developing entrepreneurship, the data was obtained through face-to-face questionnaire method with the undergraduate students at Zonguldak Vocational School. The data obtained were subjected to content analysis and evaluated using SPSS 20.0 and AMOS 24.0 programs. As a result of the evaluation, it was found that there is a positive and low level significant relationship between the main independent variables, entrepreneurial features and cultural support, and the dependent variable, the intention to start a business. It was also found that there is again a positive and low level significant relationship between the sub-independent variables, entrepreneurial confidence and entrepreneurial orientation, and the dependent variable, the intention to start a business.

Amaç: Girişimcilik toprak, emek, sermaye ve teknolojiyi bir araya getirerek yenilikler yapan ve fırsatları değerlendiren üretim faktörüdür. Ekonomik büyüme, kalkınma ve işsizlikle mücadelede rekabete dayalı özel girişimcilik önemli bir yer tutmaktadır. Bu nedenle gün geçtikçe önemi artan girişimciliğin anlaşılması ve geliştirilmesi için bu konuda yapılan akademik çalışmaların sayısının artması gerekmektedir. Bu çalışma; Türkiye’de ekonomik kalkınmanın sağlanması ve refahın artması adına girişimciliğin önemini vurgulamaya çalışmaktadır. Yöntem: Bu çalışmada girişimciliği belirleyen ve etkileyen bazı parametreler (ARGE harcamaları, devlet politikaları, girişimcilik finansmanı, eğitim düzeyi, fiziksel altyapılar gibi) karşılaştırmalı olarak incelenmiştir. Çalışmada yöntem olarak GZFT analizi (Güçlü yönler, Zayıf yönler, Fırsatlar ve Tehditler) tercih edilmiştir. GZFT analizi terim anlamıyla, bir proje ya da girişimin hayata geçmesinden önce; güçlü ve zayıf yanlarının, dışarıdan gelecek tehditlerin ve konjonktürün getireceği fırsatların, detaylı incelemesi olarak kabul edilmektedir. Analiz karar verme aşamasında konu ile ilgili kuvvetli veya zayıf, avantajlı veya dezavantajlı noktaların beraberce görülebilmesini sağlamaktadır. GZFT analizinin amacı; var olan güçlü yönler ve fırsatlardan en üst düzeyde yararlanmak, tehditlerin ve zayıf yanların etkisini en aza indirecek plan ve stratejiler geliştirmektir. Bulgular: GEM istatistikleri, Küresel Rekabet Edebilirlik Endeksi, patent başvuru ve tescil sayıları, kurulan-kapanan şirket sayıları, finans destekleri ve makro ekonomik göstergeler gibi temel veriler ışığında Türkiye’nin mevcut durumu analiz edilmiş ve girişimciliğin geliştirilmesi için çeşitli öneriler sunulmuştur. Türkiye’de girişimcileri yatırıma teşvik edecek ekonomik ortamın hazırlanmasının kritik öneme sahip olduğu görülmüştür. Bunun yanında girişimcilere düşük maliyetli finans kaynakları ve rahat geri ödeme koşulları sağlanmalıdır. Makroekonomik ortamdaki belirsizlikler ortadan kaldırılmalı ve yatırımcıya güven duygusu verilmelidir. Ayrıca bir şirketin kuruluş veya işletme aşamasında karşılaşabileceği bürokratik engeller en aza indirilmeli ve yasal mevzuatlar girişimcilik lehine yeniden düzenlenmelidir.

ÖZGirişimcilik ülke ekonomilerinin gelişmesinde oldukça önemli rol oynamaktadır. Ülke ekonomisine olan etkisi nedeniyle girişimcilik kurum ve kuruluşlar tarafından desteklenmekte ve teşvik edilmektedir. Girişimciliğin ve girişimcilik kültürünün gelişmesini kendine vizyon edinen Küçük ve Orta Ölçekli İşletmeleri Geliştirme ve Destekleme İdaresi Başkanlığı (KOSGEB) girişimciliğin desteklenmesinde otoriter olan kurumların başında gelmektedir. KOSGEB tarafından sağlanan girişimcilik destekleri girişimciliği özendirmeyi, desteklemeyi ve başarılı işletmelerin kurulmasını amaçlamaktadır. KOSGEB, uygulamalı girişimcilik eğitimini tamamlayan ve kendi işini kurmak isteyen girişimcilere “yeni girişimci desteği” adı altında destek sağlamaktadır. Desteğin uygulamalı girişimcilik eğitimlerine bağlı olmasının nedeni girişimcilik bilgisi ve kültürüne sahip başarılı işletmelerin kurulmasını temin etmektir. Bu eğitimler; girişimcilerin iş kurma ve yürütme konularında bilgi ve beceri sahibi olmaları, bu süreçte kendi rol ve sorumluluklarının farkına varmaları ve kendi iş fikirlerine yönelik iş planı hazırlayabilecek bilgi ve deneyim kazanmaları amacıyla düzenlenmektedir. Araştırmada, KOSGEB girişimcilik destek programından yararlanan girişimcilerin amaçlarına ne düzeyde ulaşabildikleri sorusuna yanıt aranmıştır. Konya ilinde, KOSGEB girişimcilik destek programından yararlanan 140 girişimciden elde edilen geçerli veriler tanımlayıcı istatistik ve kikare test yöntemi ile analiz edilmiştir. Analiz sonucunda; girişimcilerin aldıkları kredi miktarı düzeyi, girişimcilik eğitimi ve girişimcilik destek türü değişkenleri ile girişimcilerin amaçlarına ulaşma düzeyleri arasında anlamlı ilişki olduğu belirlenmiştir. Yararlanıcılar, destek türleri arasında en fazla “kuruluş dönemi makine, teçhizat, ofis donanım ve yazılım” destek türünü tercih etmişlerdir.Anahtar Kelimeler: Girişimci, Girişimcilik, İşletme Kuruluş Finansmanı, KOBİ, KOSGEB Girişimcilik Destek Programı Jel Kodları: M130

Son zamanlarda yapılan girişimlerin ekonomik değerleri giderek önemli hâle gelmektedir. Küreselleşme ile birlikte, işletmelerin faaliyet gösterdikleri pazarlar değişmekte ve dolayısıyla rekabet artmaktadır.

The importance of entrepreneurship is increasingly emphasized worldwide especially after the decline of centrally planned economic systems. The trends toward reducing the domination of governments in the economy put the entrepreneur, the sole actor who makes the markets work by starting and growing the businesses in any scale, in the center of the economy policies. In this context, the policies toward making entrepreneurship widespread and thereby achieve the aim of economic growth and wealth have been very common in both developed and developing countries for decades with a few exceptions worldwide. On the other hand, despite the increasing popularity of entrepreneur and entrepreneurship research, the number of entrepreneurs who undertake the risks of starting a business and grow it by innovation and thereby create new jobs is not that much in reality. It is not easy to motivate people to become entrepreneurs in the presence of different employment alternatives. So, the governments that chose free market economy system based upon entrepreneurship have been starting policies toward motivating individuals to choose entrepreneurship as a career alternative. Entrepreneurship education is one of the most common tools in this sense and has been used widely both in schools and out of school education. In this direction, programs supporting the entrepreneurs and people who have intentions to start their own businesses in Turkey is a government policy today. Aksaray University, a state university in Turkey, started a compulsory four hour Entrepreneurship course covering all undergraduate departments in Aksaray University. The senate of Aksaray University agreed on the compulsory entrepreneurship courses, which will be effective to all departments beginning from September 2012 -only selective for the departments which have curriculums determined centrally by the Ministry of Education or Higher Education Council of Turkey- and there is also an agreement between KOSGEB Republic of Turkey, Small and Medium Entreprises Development Organzation and Aksaray University to provide students a certificate which gives them the right to apply for certain financial incentives to start their own businesses. The aim of this research is to find out the perception change of students towards entrepreneur and entrepreneurship. A survey was conducted among 925 students who participated in these courses and who did not in Aksaray University and the results show that the compulsory courses have positive impacts on perceptions toward Entrepreneurship, along with the intention to start their own businesses. We hope that similar studies which will focus on the context of the course, the qualifications of the lecturers, the practices of students after graduation, their innovative behaviours in their business life will contribute to the Entrepreneurship Education field
