    A bourdieuan relational perspective for entrepreneurship research
    (Wiley, 2014) Tatli, Ahu; Vassilopoulou, Joana; Forson, Cynthia; Slutskaya, Natasha; Department of Business Administration; Özbilgin, Mustafa; Other; Department of Business Administration; College of Administrative Sciences and Economics; N/A
    In this paper, we illustrate the possibilities a relational perspective offers for overcoming the dominant dichotomies (e.g., qualitative versus quantitative, agency versus structure) that exist in the study of entrepreneurial phenomena. Relational perspective is an approach to research that allows the exploration of a phenomenon, such as entrepreneurship, as irreducibly interconnected sets of relationships. We demonstrate how Pierre Bourdieu's concepts may be mobilized to offer an exemplary toolkit for a relational perspective in entrepreneurship research.

    Multi-level approaches to entrepreneurship and small business research - transcending dichotomies with Bourdieu
    (Edward Elgar Publishing, 2014) Forson, Cynthia; Öztürk, Mustafa Bilgehan; Tatli, Ahu; Department of Business Administration; Özbilgin, Mustafa; Other; Department of Business Administration; College of Administrative Sciences and Economics; N/A
    Entrepreneurship and small business (ESB) research has achieved a level of maturity which now presents a complex mixture in terms of the levels of analysis. As a result of these developments, the research on small business and entrepreneurship has a number of distinct traditions, which somehow remain in silos. In this chapter, we argue that this field of academic endeavour would benefit from a more integrated approach. We first identify the key approaches in ESB research in terms of the levels of analysis. Next, adopting a Bourdieuan perspective, we offer viable strategies for transcending contemporary dichotomies of ESB research, and offer a novel way of approaching multi-level ESB research.

    Four approaches to accounting for diversity in global organisations
    (Elsevier, 2016) Tatli, Ahu; Ipek, Gulce; Sameer, Mohammad; Department of Business Administration; Özbilgin, Mustafa; Other; Department of Business Administration; College of Administrative Sciences and Economics; N/A
    This paper examines four distinct approaches to accounting for diversity outcomes in global organisations: shareholder, stakeholder, regulation and global value chain. Drawing on a study of 22 globally significant organisations, our analyses show that there is a need to move beyond narrow framing of benefits of diversity management based on shareholder and stakeholder perspectives. Our study demonstrates that regulation as well as global value chain is pertinent new perspectives that organisations need to move towards if they are to seriously account for diversity outcomes. Yet, our study shows that such a development is not likely to happen easily due to a number of significant challenges in accounting for diversity outcomes in global organisations.

    Gender as symbolic capital and violence: the case of corporate elites in Turkey
    (Wiley, 2016) Yamak, Sibel; Ergur, Ali; Alakavuklar, Ozan Nadir; Department of Business Administration; Özbilgin, Mustafa; Other; Department of Business Administration; College of Administrative Sciences and Economics; N/A
    Based on a Bourdieusian approach, drawing on qualitative analyses of 63 life interviews, our study demonstrates that gender is performed as both symbolic capital and violence by corporate elites within the dominant ideologies of patriarchy and family in Turkey. Our analysis reveals that, in the male-dominated context of Turkey, female elites appear to favour male alliances as a tactical move in order to acquire and maintain status in their organizations, whereas male elites appear to remain blind to the privileges and constraints of their own gendered experience of symbolic capital and violence. Our study also illustrates that gender order is still preserved, despite beliefs to the contrary that equality in education, skills, experience and job performance may liberate women and men from gender-based outcomes at work.

    International human resource management
    (Cambridge University Press (CUP), 2019) Groutsis, Dimitria; Harvey, William S.; Department of Business Administration; Özbilgin, Mustafa; Other; Department of Business Administration; College of Administrative Sciences and Economics; N/A
    International Human Resource Management offers a contemporary and multilayered introduction to international and comparative human resource management for university study. It critically analyses the core issues and emerging trends in the field, with a consistent emphasis on real-world scenarios and concerns. At the macro level, the book examines how IHRM fits within and adapts to the ever-changing environment of international relations and global development. At the firm level, it elucidates the strategic goals served by IHRM and the processes used to achieve them. At the individual level, the analysis extends beyond the traditional focus on expatriates to encompass the various IHRM actors and their motivations. Each chapter features a case study, tutorial activities and discussion questions. The book concludes with three extended case studies, each based on a specific region, to help students consolidate their understanding.

    Gender diversity and board performance: women's experiences and perspectives
    (Wiley, 2015) Kakabadse, Nada K.; Figueira, Catarina; Nicolopoulou, Katerina; Yang, Jessica Hong; Kakabadse, Andrew P.; Department of Business Administration; Özbilgin, Mustafa; Other; Department of Business Administration; College of Administrative Sciences and Economics; N/A
    Despite considerable progress that organizations have made during the past 20 years to increase the representation of women at board level, they still hold few board seats. Drawing on a qualitative study involving 30 companies with women directors in the United Kingdom, the United States, and Ghana, we investigate how the relationship between gender in the boardroom and corporate governance operates. The findings indicate that the presence of a minority of women on the board has an insignificant effect on board performance. Yet the chairperson's role is vital in leading the change for recruiting and evaluating candidates and their commitment to the board with diversity and governance in mind. Our study also sheds light on the multifaceted reasons why women directors appear to be resisting the discourse of gender quotas.
