Given a rising tendency on international entrepreneurship among researchers and practitioners, a wealth of previous studies has evolved into a rich and fragmented body of knowledge over time. In that vein, this study is aimed to critically assess and synthesize all research studies on international entrepreneurship from the perspective of network theory with respect to the research design, conceptual approaches, and empirical issues, consisting of emergent research themes. Within the scope of this systematic and comprehensive review, a content analysis was employed with an intent to examine 112 studies on international entrepreneurship published between 1996 and 2020. The results demonstrate eight emergent research themes that reveal how the conversation among researchers expanded the network perspective of international entrepreneurship by extending the intellectual knowledge gradually. Apart from revealing emergent research streams, this study also offers promising research agenda for small and medium-sized entrepreneurial firms operating internationally in order to advance the current knowledge within the specific field of subject.

A relational perspective of institutional work Topal, Çağrı (Cambridge University Press (CUP), 2015-07-01) This study develops a relational model of institutional work. The past research implies that the nature of relationships between individual actors actually shapes the nature of institutional work the actors engage in. However, the research falls short of an explicit, systematic analysis of different relationships between the actors and their work implications. This study basically argues that the actors' power positions, which might be dominant or subordinate in relation to those of other actors, and their ...
A Sociological study of corporate social responsibility: a Marxist perspective Karaca Akbaş, Eren; Topal, Çağatay; Department of Sociology (2012) The main concern of this thesis is to problematize the so-called mutually beneficial relationship between free market mechanism and common good through the debates around Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR). Despite the social problems deepened by the free market, capitalist discourse attempts to justify itself by adopting some ethical concerns. However, it should be recognized that these attempts including CSR constitute market-based ethics. Trying to move beyond the existing critical literature on CSR, ...
