- Research interests
-
My main research interest lies in the nexus of spirituality and strategy practices within family firms. My research particularly focuses on how religious beliefs inform and shape the strategizing processes and practices of family firms operating in the Anatolian part of Turkey, where religion permeates society. I am also interested in strategy-as-practice in pluralistic and paradoxical contexts.
