This study examines Turkey’s endeavours to become a more entrepreneurial country especially since it became a candidate country to the EU. The case of the EU, in particular the policies and programmes regarding entrepreneurship at the union level, sets a great example for Turkey. The study shows how Turkish entrepreneurship policies get inspired and also encouraged by the EU and provides a comparison of entrepreneurial activity and culture between Turkey and the EU. Finally, the thesis concludes with Turkey’s entrepreneurial progress and the areas that still need further improvement.
Chapters of this thesis are designed to answer some particular question. The first chapter aims to present the definition and the importance of entrepreneurship. In addition, the cultural effects of entrepreneurship are explained with reference to
Hofstede’s cultural dimensions. Also, implications of these dimensions are used to compare the European culture to the Turkish culture in the first chapter. Moreover, as the support mechanisms of entrepreneurship are highly focused in the following two chapters since they show how Turkey and the EU handle entrepreneurship. The second chapter explains the support mechanisms of the EU and the third chapter explains that of Turkey. The fourth chapter provides a thorough comparison of entrepreneurial activity in the EU and Turkey by referring to facts and figures. Research methodology is mostly based on literature review. The EC documents are vastly used and examined in a way to provide up-to-date information about entrepreneurship. Since studying such a novel concept is a rather recent endeavour, online resources constitute a big part of reference for this thesis.
