| Summary: | Purpose: The purpose of this research is to reveal the relation between
Prince Sabahattin’s private enterprise idea and today’s studies on the
sociology of entrepreneurship.
Method: Data and other information were gathered through literature
review.
Findings: Prince Sabahattin, who was a Young - Turk, is accepted as the
first person to realize that social and economic changes are fulfilled by the
entrepreneurs in the Ottoman Empire. Contrary to the many other
intellectuals, Prince Sabahattin thinks that the role of institutional
transformation is not enough in for social and economic development. His
key concept explaining this transformation is private enterprise [teşebbüs-i
şahsi]. In short, he emphasizes the role of social values and norms on
entrepreneurial activities and the negative effects of restrictions on
individual freedom in terms transformation of society.
Results: Finally, it is suggested that the starting point of studies about
sociology of entrepreneurship in Turkey should be based on Prince
Sabahattin’s private enterprise and decentralization thought |
