Bu çalışmada, sosyal girişimcilik ile Ahilik Teşkilatı arasındaki ilişkiler, Türk tarihinde önemli bir yere sahip olan Ahilik Teşkilatı'nda gerçekleştirilen uygulamalar bağlamında incelenmiştir. Çalışmanın ilk bölümünde sosyal girişimcilik kavramı açıklanmış, ikinci bölümde ise Ahilik Teşkilatı detaylı bir şekilde ele alınmıştır. Üçüncü bölüm ise, her iki yapı arasındaki ilişkiyi benzerlikler ve farklılıklar bağlamında açıklamak üzere yapılan uygulamaları değerlendirmiştir. Araştırmanın en önemli bulguları arasında, her Ahi’nin aynı zamanda bir sosyal girişimci olduğu ancak her sosyal girişimcinin aynı zamanda bir Ahi olmadığı yer almaktadır. Ayrıca, bu kurumlar tarafından yerine getirilen değer temelli uygulamaların günümüz sivil toplum örgütleri için bir örnek teşkil etmesi gerektiği vurgulanmıştır. Anahtar Kelimeler: Girişimcilik, Sosyal Girişimcilik, Ahilik, Ahilik TeşkilatıJEL Sınıflandırması: I25, L26, L31

In this study, the relations between social entrepreneurship and the Ahilik Organization were examined in the context of the practices implemented in the Ahilik Organization, which has an important place in Turkish history. In the first part of the study, the concept of social entrepreneurship was explained, and in the second part, the Ahilik Organization was discussed in detail. The third part evaluated the practices implemented in order to explain the relationship between the two structures in terms of similarities and differences. Among the most important findings of the study is that every Ahi is also a social entrepreneur, but not every social entrepreneur is also an Ahi. In addition, it was emphasized that the value-based practices implemented by these institutions should be an example for today's civil society organizations.Key Words: Entrepreneurship, Social Entrepreneurship, Ahi Order, Ahi OrganizationJEL Classification: I25, L26, L31
