The GEM broadly defines entrepreneurship as any attempt at new business or new venture creation. This definition encompasses a broad scope of entrepreneurial behaviors. As such, the GEM breaks down the entrepreneurial business cycle into several stages. For this chapter we focus on two stages which are of particular relevance to Turkey. The first stage of entrepreneurship involves the respondents’ readiness to begin an entrepreneurial venture or their intent to start a business within the next three years (termed “Entrepreneurial Intention”). The second stage is the Total Early-Stage Entrepreneur Activity (TEA) rate. The TEA is an indication of how many individuals in an economy are currently participating in entrepreneurial activities. This stage of entrepreneurship is further broken down into two categories, namely Nascent Entrepreneurs and New Firm Entrepreneurs. Nascent entrepreneurs are those actively involved in a startup who expect to own all or part of the new firm and no wages have been paid for more than three months. New Firm Entrepreneurs, meanwhile, are the individuals who are involved as an owner or manager in new firms and wages have been paid for between three to 42 months.

Is Individualism a Predictor of Social Capital in Business Incubators?

Questionnaire data from managers of tenant companies of five incubators established by the State Privatization Office of the Turkish Republic were analyzed with regression. Individualism had a positive relationship with percepti...

Weighted k-Nearest Neighbor Adaptations to Spare Part Prediction Business Scenario at SAP System Esgin, Eren (SCITEPRESS; 2020-2-24) In the context of intelligent maintenance, spare part prediction business scenario seeks promising return-on-investment (ROI) by radically diminishing the hidden costs at after-sales customer services.

This paper proposes a hybrid classification model that combines C4.5, Apriori algorithms and weighted k-Nearest Neighbor (kNN) adaptations to overcome potential shortcomings observed...
Determining online consumer typologies and their shopping behaviors in B2C e-commerce platforms Huseynov, Farid; Demirörs, Onur; Türetken, Oktay; Department of Information Systems (2016) Business-to-consumer (B2C) e-commerce is the service or product exchange from businesses to consumers over the Internet. B2C e-commerce enables customers to easily compare offered products and services, to find cheaper and better ones from many alternatives and to shop from any given store without physically visiting them. Despite those conveniences provided by B2C e-commerce, a large number of customers prefer to stay away from the idea of shopping over internet due to several factors. For better customer ...
Capturing knowledge in construction projects: Knowledge platform for contractors Kivrak, Serkan; Arslan, Gokhan; Dikmen Toker, İrem; Birgönül, Mustafa Talat (American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE), 2008-04-01) Managing knowledge effectively is critical to the survival and advance of a company, especially in project-based industries such as construction. However, capturing knowledge in construction projects is a tedious task, as knowledge is usually experience based, tacit, and hard to pass on to others. In this study, a survey was carried out among eight leading Turkish construction contractors that are operating within the international construction market. The specific objectives of this survey are to find out ...
