Kurumsal İşlerin Analiziyle İşadamı Kavramının Betimlenmesi

Year 2015, Volume: 15 Issue: 1, 99 - 110, 01.02.2015

Abstract

Bu çalışmanın amacı Türkiye bağlamında işadamı kavramının betimlenmesidir. İşadamı kavramı oldukça farklı anlamları içinde barındıran karmaşık bir kavramdır. İşadamı içinde bulunduğu kurumsal çevreyi etkilemekte ve aynı zamanda bu çevreden etkilenmektedir. İşadamı faaliyet gösterdiği kurumsal çevreyi yaratmak, sürdürmek ve yıkmak amacıyla çeşitli kurumsal işler yapmaktadır. Bu çalışmada işadamı kavramı işadamının yürüttüğü kurumsal işler aracılığıyla betimlenmektedir. Amaçlı olarak seçilen kurumsal bir biyografi aracılığıyla, bağlam bağımlı olarak, işadamının öncelikle genel kabul görmüş işadamı tanımını yıktığı, daha sonra işadamı kavramına ilişkin yeni bir anlam üretme çabasına giriştiği ve daha sonraki dönemde de işadamı kavramını sürdürme ve güçlendirme adına farklı kurumsal işleri yerine getirdiği belirlenmiştir
