    Just a progressive step: women’s empowerment in Turkish microcredit practices
    (Universidad de Granada, 2019-12-15) Soykut Sarıca, Yeşim Pınar; Çağlı Kaynak, Elif; Bal, Esra
    In developing countries, the economic potential of women has long been under-utilized as a means of lifting households and communities out of poverty. In this respect, microcredit schemes offer an innovative form of social welfare, widely accessible to women. This study examines one such program from the Turkish context: the Maya Enterprise for Micro Finance, a conditional credit opportunity for women to start and/or develop their own businesses, granted by the Foundation for the Support of Women's Work (KEDV). Our study aimed to explore the impact of KEDV's credit transfer scheme on the lives of users, especially in terms of the psychological and economic empowerment of women. Deploying a mixed methods research strategy, we administered and analyzed quantitative surveys (n=336) in order to determine the perceptions, thoughts, insights and reactions of KEDV program users, also conducting qualitative interviews with 21 participants. Our findings indicate that the program was influential in empowering women by increasing their self-confidence and changing their relationship with other people in the household.

    Employee ownership and management: The case of Kardemir iron and steel mill industry
    (Academic Journals, 2011-12-21) Soykut Sarıca, Yeşim Pınar
    The information which was obtained through in-depth interviews with several informants on the general evaluation of the Kardemir privatization indicate that, whether or not Kardemir was introduced as a permanently successful model, its success was realistic at least until the year 2001, notwithstanding the fact that the present state of affairs seems to run counter to the general logic of labor unionism. The article then argues for a research agenda to re-examine and revise the ways that can make the employee ownership process more successful in the light of ongoing changes in employment relations at Kardemir Industry, Turkey.

    An analysis of risk transfer and trust nexus in international trade with reference to Turkish data
    (IGI Global, 2022-08-05) Şen Taşbaşı, Aslı; Soykut Sarıca, Yeşim Pınar; Yüksel, Ahmet Hakan
    International trade introduces a range of risks, which causes uncertainty over the timing of delivery and payment between exporters and importers. This chapter is a first attempt in dissecting Turkey's trade data in terms of risk allocation and trust between the parties involved. Breaking down Turkish export and import data for the years 2000 to 2018 according to methods of payment and use of currencies, the chapter first finds the risk is distributed unevenly between the exporter and the importer. Then findings are evaluated to open a new avenue of future research, constructed on the inquiry whether emerging economies like Turkey can establish trust in their trade with developed economies by using blockchain technology.

    The transition of the pharmaceutical sector marketing activities: traditional marketing to digital marketing after the pandemic period and the results
    (IGI Global, 2022) Soykut Sarıca, Yeşim Pınar
    The aim of the study is to understand the change in marketing practices in the pharmaceutical industry in human health during the pandemic process and to reveal the projections for post-marketing strategies in Turkey. With analyzes such as the speed of the industry’s adaptation to change, the flexibility of digitalization, the suitability of the existing structure, and the number of employees, future projections have been analyzed on the basis of the evaluations of pharmaceutical sector managers. The environment of the sector that has developed as a result of digitalization has been examined with its positive and negative aspects in terms of employment and employee competencies. As a result, all stakeholders in the pharmaceutical industry are not fully prepared for this process, adapting more slowly than expected in terms of adaptation time. As a living process, the preferences and methods need continuous and regular updating, but it has revealed the fact that digitalization will be passed as a partial and complete final result in its forward-looking predictions.
