Trust-Driven Entrepreneurship for Community Well-Being of Refugees and Their Local Hosts

This article explores community well-being (CWB) outcomes of institutional trust (and distrust) through entrepreneurship in the context of a refugee-hosting society in Turkey. Existing studies show the positive relationship between institutional trust and quality of life (QOL) as well as entrepreneurship and QOL in subsistence contexts. This research, however, explores the relationship between institutional (dis)trust and entrepreneurship on a path to CWB with a special emphasis on refugee and local interactions in the marketplace. Three different paths to the QOL of refugees and/or locals are presented, but only two lead to CWB outcomes encompassing both refugees and locals. Consideration of refugees and locals as both consumers and business owners provides perspective on the interplay between social trust and institutional trust in a socio-culturally heterogeneous subsistence context. The article also discusses implications for theory and practice.

Joint and interactive effects of trust and (inter) dependence on relational behaviors in long-term channel dyads
Yilmaz, C; Sezen, B; Özdemir, Özlem (Elsevier BV, 2005-04-01)
The authors investigate the effects of trust on the relational behaviors of firms in long-term channel dyads across different interdependence structures. Based on the long-term nature of the empirical setting, trust is posited to exert a positive effect on the emergence of relational behaviors in all interdependence conditions. This positive effect of trust is hypothesized to be stronger in highly and symmetrically interdependent channel dyads than in low-interdependence-type symmetric dyads. In addition, f...
Value in marketing Toward sociocultural perspectives
Karababa, Eminegül (SAGE Publications, 2014-03-01)
This commentary addresses recent debates in marketing research on the elusiveness of the notion of value, with the aim of starting a dialogue on the possibility of developing a comprehensive and culturally informed understanding of value and value creation processes. First, we provide an overview of the predominant uses of value in marketing and consumer research literature and discuss them in relation to three abstract conceptions of value. We show the interconnectedness of these value types in market and ...
Understanding the Dark Sides of Alternative Economies to Maximize Societal Benefit
Watson, Forrest (SAGE Publications, 2020-06-01)
Alternative economies can significantly contribute to societal flourishing, but the potential dark sides should also be considered. As shared commitments are the foundation of alternative economies, we draw on related literature to conceptualize various types of dark sides of an alternative economy. While less prominent than the well-being outcomes, we present qualitative data of when the participants of one alternative food network experienced disappointment, burnout, guilt, or division. Comparing with the...
Management of buyer-supplier conflict: The case of the Turkish automotive industry
Kozan, M. Kamil; Wasti Pamuksuz, Syeda Nazlı; Kuman, Ayca (Elsevier BV, 2006-06-01)
This study utilizes data from 50 buyers in automakers and 72 suppliers to study conflict management in Turkish buyer-supplier relationships. The traditional practice of buyer dominance was tested against Bensaou's [Bensaou, M. Portfolios of buyer-supplier relationships. Sloan Management Review 1999; 40(4): 35-44.] strategic segmentation model. A two-dimensional conflict management model was used, comprised of forcing, problem-solving, compromise, accommodation, and avoidance styles. The traditional pattern ...
