THE EFFECTIVENESS OF ENTREPRENEURIAL TRAINING: THE SAMPLE OF AKSARAY

Abstract

The concept of entrepreneurship has often been associated with personality characteristics in organizational literature in Turkey. Studies on entrepreneurship in our country involve what type of personality characteristics the individuals that can be considered “entrepreneurs” have and which individuals possess a higher potential for entrepreneurship. Nevertheless, considering the literature on entrepreneurship in Turkey, it is possible to conclude that there is no sufficient amount of research regarding whether entrepreneurship is a concept that can be learnt or whether entrepreneurial skills can be gained through training. The effectiveness of the training that entrepreneurs receive through KOSGEB (Small and Medium Industry Development Organization) is analyzed in this paper. For this purpose, data were collected from entrepreneurs who received entrepreneurial training in Aksaray through a scale developed based on previous literature. We hope that the findings obtained from the research will contribute to current literature in terms of making up for the lack of research on the effectiveness of entrepreneurial training
