Abstract

People with entrepreneurial skills and mindset have a great role in stirring the economy and
meeting financial, social, and humanitarian needs by taking risks, especially when there is
uncertainty. It is vital to take every action to stimulate the entrepreneurial potential of society,
to promote entrepreneurial culture, and to have more people with an entrepreneurial mindset
and skills. One of these actions is giving entrepreneurial education, especially to the young. On
the other hand, there are more chances in some sectors for entrepreneurs to be successful.
Maritime is one of these, with its fast development, involvement of people from different
backgrounds and cultures in all parts of the world, and multinational, multicultural, and multiregional character in terms of stakeholders. These points make entrepreneurial education in
maritime schools an important issue. In this research, entrepreneurial education given in
maritime universities, which are referred to as "Blue Universities," was looked into, its strong
and weak sides were investigated, and recommendations for its development were given.

Denizcilik Üniversitelerinde Girişimcilik Eğitimi

Abstract

Girişimcilik becerilerine ve zihniyetine sahip kişiler, özellikle belirsizliğin olduğu durumlarda risk alarak ekonominin hareketlenmesinde ve finansal, sosyal ve insani ihtiyaçların karşılanmasında büyük rol oynarlar. Toplumun girişimcilik potansiyelini harekete geçirmek, girişimcilik kültürünü teşvik etmek ve girişimci zihniyet ve becerilere sahip daha fazla insana sahip olmak için her türlü önlemin alınması hayati önem taşımaktadır. Bu eylemlerden biri de özellikle gençlere girişimcilik eğitimi vermektir. Öte yandan, bazı sektörlerde girişimcilerin başarılı olma şansı daha fazladır. Hızlı gelişimi, dünyanın her yerinde farklı geçmiş ve kültürlerden gelen insanların katılımı ve paydaşlar açısından çok uluslu, çok kültürlü ve çok bölgeli karakteriyle denizcilik sektörü de bunlardan biridir. Bu hususlar denizcilik okullarında girişimcilik eğitimini önemli bir konu haline getirmektedir. Bu araştırmada, "Mavi Üniversiteler" olarak adlandırılan denizcilik üniversitelerinde verilen girişimcilik eğitimi incelenmiş, güçlü ve zayıf yönleri araştırılmış ve geliştirilmesi için önerilerde bulunulmuştur.
