Yayın Tasarım girişimciliği ve bir sosyal sorumluluk proje önerisi(Işık Üniversitesi, 2019-08-09) Çelik, Pınar; Yelmi, Pınar; Işık Üniversitesi, Sosyal Bilimler Enstitüsü, Görsel İletişim Tasarımı Yüksek Lisans ProgramıGünlük yaşantıda sıklıkla kullanılan tasarım, insanlara bir konu hakkında bilgi vermek, satışı yapılacak ürün ya da hizmetlerin tanıtımını yapmak gibi birçok amaç için kullanılmaktadır. Özellikle 1990’lı yıllardan sonra internetin yaygınlaşması ve teknolojinin hızlı değişimiyle birlikte tasarımın tanımı ve tasarımcının rolü de değişmeye başlamıştır. Dijital bilgi çağında gerçekleşen bu hızlı dönüşüm, tasarım sektörü de dahil olmak üzere birçok mesleğin dinamiklerini değiştirmiştir. Bu değişimler işletmeleri ve yeni iş girişimlerini de etkilemiştir. Girişimciliğin amacı piyasada tespit edilen ihtiyaçlara yaratıcı ve etkin çözümler sunacak işletme ve organizasyonlar kurmaktır. Bu bağlamda tasarım ve girişimciliği başarılı kılan ortak özellikler yenilikçi, yaratıcı ve çözüm odaklı olmalarıdır. Hem bir tasarım projesinde hem de piyasada çözümlenmeyi bekleyen bir iş girişiminde, hedef kitle ile empati yaparak problemi doğru tespit etmek oldukça önemlidir. Tasarım odaklı düşünme yöntemi ile iş girişimcisinin tasarımcı gibi düşünmeyi öğrenerek girişiminin başarısını artırması mümkündür. Diğer bir yandan ise geleneksel girişimcilerin gözlem ve araştırma yetenekleri, tasarımcıların iş fikirlerini hayata geçirmelerini desteklemektedir. Bu araştırmada, girişim ve tasarım kavramlarının ilişkisi analiz edilmiş ve tasarım girişimciliği kavramına değinilmiştir. Tasarım odaklı düşünme yöntemi ile problem ve ihtiyaç tespiti yapılmış ve bir sosyal sorumluluk proje önerisi sunularak tasarım girişimciliğine bir örnek oluşturulması amaçlanmıştır. Bu çerçevede, tezin 1. bölümünde, tasarım kavramının geçmişten günümüze kadar olan dönemde geçirdiği önemli değişimler ve tasarımcının tarihsel süreçteki rolü anlatılmıştır. 2. bölümde girişimcilik kavramının tanımı ve türlerine değinilmiş, sosyal girişimcilik odaklı örnek proje incelemeleri yapılmıştır. 3. bölümde tasarımcı özelliklerinin girişimciliğe olan etkileri ele alınmış ve tasarım girişimciliği kavramı vurgulanmıştır. 4. bölümde, tezde yapılan araştırmalar ve uygulanmış anket sonucunda kullanıcı ihtiyaçları tespit edilerek bir sosyal girişimcilik örneği olarak “Gülsün Çocuklar” isimli bir proje önerisi sunulmuştur.Yayın Factors promoting the emergence of social ventures for the post Covid-19: a case study in Turkey(PressAcademia, 2022-07-30) Özbay, Eser Güven; Tuncay Çelikel, AslıPurpose- The premise of the study is that the social and economic crisis caused by the COVID-19 pandemic encourage the emergence of social innovations in Turkey providing a window of opportunity and the promoting factors of these emergences are mostly pro-social factors and personal values. Based on this proposition, the primary purpose of the study is to investigate and reveal the factors that lead to the emergence of social ventures. The secondary aims are to increase the awareness of the stakeholders and academia on social entrepreneurship in which a limited number of studies have been conducted in Turkey, and thus to emphasize the topicality and the importance of the subject. Methodology- The research method was designed as a qualitative research method which includes in-depth interviews with 6 social ventures in Turkey. As primary data, information obtained from in-depth interviews with the social ventures and from interviews with Ashoka Turkey were used. The literature review constitutes the secondary data. Findings- Despite the personal characteristics are effective in being a social entrepreneur, it is seen that they are not sufficient in the emergence of a social enterprise. Extraversion, open to experience and conscientious are the three prominent personal characteristics related to personality in the research. The results of the research confirm the researcher's proposition that the prominent factors in the establishment of social enterprises are pro-social factors and personal motivations. While passionate and need for achievement from personal motivations drew attention, desire to help others and social vision from pro-social factors were determined as leading factors. Conclusion- Although the findings of the study confirm some expectations about the factors that encourage the emergence of social entrepreneurship, there has not been enough evidence to support the researcher's main proposition that the COVID-19 pandemic period has accelerated and stimulated the emergence of social enterprises by creating an opportunity.Yayın A case analysis on factors affecting the emergence of social innovations after Covid- 19 in Turkey(PressAcademia, 2022-06-30) Özbay, Eser Güven; Tuncay Çelikel, AslıPurpose- The study aims to explore the factors that accelarate the emergence of social innovations after Covid-19. With the study, it is also aimed to emphasize the topicality and importance of the subject by drawing the attention of stakeholders and academia in the field of social entrepreneurship, where a limited number of studies are conducted in Turkey. Methodology- The study employs a qualitative method that includes literature review, observations and in-depth interviews with 6 social ventures in Turkey. Findings- The analysis reveals that, being extraversion, openness to experience, conscientiousness, passion, need for achievement, social vision and desire to help others are the most common characteristics among social enterpreneurs participants. It is seen that entrepreneurs are highly open to new experiences and conscientious in their relationships. All extroverted participants make progress in their social initiatives by using their personal networks and experience a sense of personal satisfaction through their social ventures. Another implication of the study is that the actions and efforts of the individuals are encouraged by the work itself and the desire to achieve inner satisfaction, and they use their solutions in creating value not only for their own benefits but also for the others. Although there is limited evidence to support the researchers’ basic premise that the COVID-19 pandemic period accelerates and encourages the emergence of social entrepreneurship, the findings are consistent with the authors' conceptual model. Social entrepreneurs are intrinsically motivated to express their needs and passion for achievement, while being extrinsically motivated as social visionaries to satisfy their desire to help their target community. Conclusion- The results of the research confirm the researchers’ proposition that the prominent factors in the establishment of social enterprises are pro-social factors and personal motivations. While the factors of passionate and need for achievement from personal motivations drew attention, desire to help others and social vision factors from pro-social factors were determined as leading factors. In this context, it has been concluded that since the social vision is one of the prominent features of social entrepreneurs, participants who are open to experiences can define social problems more easily.Yayın “Revealing the gender gap: factors contrıbuting to women’s access to and use of external capital in social entrepreneurship”(Işık Üniversitesi, Lisansüstü Eğitim Enstitüsü, 2026-01-13) Özbay, Eser; Teker, Dilek; Işık Üniversitesi, Lisansüstü Eğitim Enstitüsü, Çağdaş İşletme Yönetimi Doktora Programı; Işık Üniversitesi, School of Grauate Studies, Contemporary Business ManagementSocial entrepreneurship plays a significant role in achieving inclusive and sustainable development by offering innovative solutions to social and environmental challenges. However, despite their strong social impact potential, women social entrepreneurs (WSEs) face substantial and multidimensional barriers in accessing external finance, which is one of the key determinants of business growth and sustainability. Gender-based biases, discriminatory evaluation practices, limited access to social and professional networks, and structural inequalities embedded in the financing ecosystem reduce the visibility and credibility of women-led social enterprises in the eyes of investors, leading them to secure significantly lower levels of external funding compared to similarly sized ventures. Against this background, grounded in the Six-Factor Integrated Theoretical Framework developed for this research, the study aims to examine WSEs’ access to and use of external capital in Türkiye from a gender-based and comparative perspective, and to provide empirical evidence and policy recommendations. An explanatory sequential mixed-methods design was employed, drawing data from both social entrepreneurs and investors. Qualitative data were collected through in-depth interviews with 7 women social entrepreneurs, 6 men social entrepreneurs, and 6 investors, while quantitative data were obtained through two separate surveys administered to 104 social entrepreneurs and 101 investors. A total of thirteen hypotheses were tested to examine how gender-based inequalities are reproduced through cognitive, institutional, and relational mechanisms. Quantitative findings indicate that WSEs perceive stronger gender-based barriers than men, view gender as an important determinant of access to finance, and report lower levels of financial self-efficacy and more limited access to investor networks. Investor-related findings reveal that, although awareness of gender bias is widespread, such awareness does not automatically translate into gender-equal funding decisions. Stereotypical evaluations based on sectoral fit, leadership perceptions, and risk assessments continue to shape investment decision-making processes. In contrast, transparency and standardized evaluation criteria were found to be more effective in reducing perceived gender bias. A holistic interpretation of the findings demonstrates that gender inequality in entrepreneurial finance stems not from individual capacity deficiencies, but from the design of financial decision-making systems and institutional structures. Accordingly, the study emphasizes the need for a multi-layered intervention approach that simultaneously addresses policy, organizational, and individual levels. At the policy level, legal recognition of social enterprises and the development of gender-responsive financial instruments are critical. At the organizational level, the adoption of standardized and gender-neutral evaluation processes is essential, while at the individual level, strengthening women social entrepreneurs’ financial confidence and investors’ reflexive awareness plays a supportive role. Despite its limitations related to self-reported data and context-specific sampling, the study provides a strong empirical foundation by examining WSEs’ access to finance from both entrepreneur and investor perspectives. It highlights the importance of systemic collaboration for the development of an inclusive and gender-responsive financial ecosystem.
