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.Yayın Perception of customers toward the introduction of Islamic banking to Ghana [Book Chapter](Springer, 20224) Yahuza, Jibril; Kachkar, Omar; Yönetim Bilimleri Fakültesi, İşletme BölümüThis study seeks to determine customers' impressions of Islamic banking (IB) in Ghana. As a non-Islamic Sub-Saharan African country, the study's goal is to investigate Ghana's behavioural goals about IB implementation. The recommended approach is based on the 'theory of planned behaviour (TPB),' which is widely utilized in customer behaviour evaluation. This theory consists of belief structures related to behavior, norms, and control that influence consumers' intentions. The questionnaire was designed to be self-administered. The results of the self-administered structured questionnaire were employed to gather information from 312 respondents to investigate banking customers' perceptions of embracing IB in Ghana. SPSS Amos and partial least squares structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM) were utilized in conducting the descriptive technique. The technique of the model shows an acceptable high goodness-of-fit index, and the data is consistent with the statistical model; the measurement model had a good enough validity and reliability, and the Standardized Mean Square Values (SRMR) were acceptable because it was below the threshold. All three predictors were found positive and significant; the attitude of banking customers in Ghana towards IB significantly impacted their behavioral intention to use it when introduced. Similarly, subjective norms were found to be significant and positive, and lastly, perceived behavior control was found to be positive and effective from all three components. Attitude is the most important factor determining a consumer's desire to use IB, and it has the greatest performance value, followed by subjective norms and perceived behaviour control. Nevertheless, perceived behavioural control outperformed subjective norms, which means more awareness must be created to motivate more banking consumers to use IB when introduced.
