Yayın How diverse are Shariah supervisory boards of Islamic banks? A global empirical survey(Emerald Publishing, 2022) Yılmaz, Mustafa Kemal; Kachkar, Omar; Yönetim Bilimleri Fakültesi, İşletme Bölümü; Yönetim Bilimleri Fakültesi, İşletme BölümüPurpose – This study examines diversity in the composition of Shariah Supervisory Boards (SSBs) of Islamic banks (IBs). It investigates diversity from two perspectives: 1) existing composition of SSBs, and 2) the regulatory frameworks and standards of selected Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) countries. Diversity characteristics in this study include education, nationality, gender, and age. Design/methodology/approach – A list of all full-fledged Islamic commercial banks (FFICBs) globally has been carefully prepared and confirmed. Conventional banks with Islamic windows, non-commercial banks, takaful companies and other Islamic financial institutions are excluded. The available profiles of 428 SSB members have been scrutinised and analysed. These board members occupy 522 SSB positions in 238 FFICBs operating in 52 countries around the globe. From the regulatory perspective, twelve national and international Shariah governance frameworks and standards have been examined. Findings – The findings indicate various levels of diversity in the SSBs of the IBs. The level of diversity in educational background and nationality of the SSBs are generally acceptable. However, lack of diversity in gender and age among the SSB members is evident. While the lack of age diversity in SSBs maybe relatively justified as a common trend in the composition of corporate boards, the SSBs of FFICB are seriously lagging conventional banks in gender diversity. On the regulatory side, these results show that provisions on diversity requirement in the SSBs are almost non-existent in the existing frameworks and standards. Research limitations/ implications – The major limitation of this study is the lack of available information on the SSB members. Practical implications – This paper provides valuable insights for Islamic banks and policy makers concerned with the corporate governance of Islamic financial institutions. First, it offers an excellent bird’s-eye view of the status of diversity in the SSBs of Islamic banks. Second, it motivates policy makers and standard-setting bodies to ensure an adequate level of diversity in the composition of SSBs through relevant regulatory frameworks. This is of paramount importance to the reputation of Islamic finance industry which has been subject to mounting pressure to translate the rhetoric about the Islamic finance industry being ethical, fair, just, equitable and inclusive into genuine implementations. Originality/value – To the best of the authors’ knowledge, this study is the first of its kind to examine the diversity of the SSB members from the regulatory as well as implementation perspective.Yayın Refugee entrepreneurs in Turkiye prospects and challenges(Eurasian Research Institue, 2022) Yılmaz, Mustafa Kemal; Kachkar, Omar; Abbara, Douaa; Yönetim Bilimleri Fakültesi, İşletme BölümüThis paper examines the success factors and barriers of refugee entrepreneurs in Turkey. 244 owner/manager of refugee enterprises participated in the survey. Exploratory Factor Analysis was utilized to analyse the data. Out of 40 variables, 10 variables were deleted after running the factor loading. The remaining variables have been grouped under ten groups (10Gs) of success factors and barriers. Three groups under environmental success factors (G1, access to capital and to business information, G2, marketing and infrastructure, G3, government support and infrastructure), two groups under individual success factors (G1 personal entrepreneurial traits, G2, social status, age and educational attainment), three groups under environmental barriers, (G1, lack of financial support, economic situation of host country and the rising prices of public utilities, G2, negative perception of refugees among the public and media and the sense of competition in the local labor market, G3, local regulation and lack of resources) and finally two groups under individual barriers (G1, low level of education, requirement of degree equivalency, and lack of language proficiency, G2, lack of demand for goods and services and lack of business advice). The findings of this study provide policymakers with a deeper understanding of the success factors and barriers to the entrepreneurial activities of refugees. Refugee entrepreneurship programs could be better outlined in light of the insights of this study.Yayın Exploring sustainability approach of the fashion brands in Turkey(Eurasian Research Institute, 2022) Yılmaz, Mustafa Kemal; Kachkar, Omar; Shehneh, Mohannad; Yönetim Bilimleri Fakültesi, İşletme BölümüThere has been an increasing interest in enhancing sustainability measures in fashion industry triggered by concerns on the depletion of the earth resources. The fashion industry is recently held to be responsible for at least 2.1 billion metric tons (4%) of global greenhouse-gas emissions. This comes along with other major impacts including higher rates of water and energy consumption. With this sizable impact on the environment, embracing sustainable actions in production and consumption stages become necessary for the industry. This study explores sustainable approach in the fashion industry of Turkey by focusing on three prominent fashion brands, and discusses the challenges and opportunities that they face. The results are important since Turkey is a key market player in international fashion industry and the fashion industry significantly contributes to the national economy. Employing a qualitative approach, we conducted six in-depth, semi-structured interviews with sustainability directors from three Turkish fashion brands along with some industry experts. We examined the data using a latent thematic analysis. The preliminary findings show that sustainability activities are still in the infant stage in the Turkish fashion industry. Most of the Turkish fashion brands are motivated by reasons other than just concerns about environment. The results indicate that companies are inclined to be sustainable mainly to follow international brands and improve brand image. Even though brands face challenges such as higher production cost, lack of government support, and supply chain problems in sustainability matters they are still optimistic about the future given the increasing awareness of young generation and the strategic vision of the country.
