Yayın Waqf contributions for sustainable development goals: A critical appraisal(Springer Nature, 2022) Kachkar, Omar; Alfares, Marwa; Yönetim Bilimleri Fakültesi, İşletme BölümüLack of funds has been a substantial challenge in achieving the sustainable development goals for all developing countries including many of OIC member states. The World Bank estimates that approximately, from $1.5 to $2.7 trillion is needed every year to finance SDGs projects between 2015 up to 2030. This chapter examines the potential role of waqf as a fund-mobilising instrument. It specifically focuses on the progress in achieving SDGs in OIC countries. Four key development areas are highlighted in this regard, namely, poverty alleviation, healthcare, education and finally infrastructure development. A comparison between OIC and non-OIC countries is drawn to assess the progress of OIC countries. Except for some areas in infrastructure development, OIC countries seem to be lagging behind their non-OIC counterparts in all the four covered areas. Tapping waqf resources can greatly contribute in achieving the SDGs, in particular the monetary waqf or cash waqf. To support this argument, this chapter brings various case studies from waqf institutions operating in the Muslim world. The first case study discusses two institutions in Turkiye and the second one highlights the contribution of two subsidiaries of Islamic Development Banks. This chapter concludes with a prolonged discussion of the existing challenges encountering the full employment of waqf in achieving the SDGs.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.
