International hotel chains seem to contribute this development to a great amount. These hotels invest in Turkey since 1950s. Recently, these investments seem to be made majorly as franchises. Today, franchising seems to be one of the major strategies to enter global markets. And the system is popular because of its organisational and financial advantages. Although Franchising is adopted and frequently used in tourism industry, there are not (if any) any studies investigating facts and figures of the subject.

Hippler","doi":"10.2139/ssrn.3263110","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.2139/ssrn.3263110","url":null,"abstract":"Muslim entrepreneurs are compelled by religious laws to abstain from engaging in certain economic and financing activities, such as those involving gambling, usury, and speculation. Western entrepreneurs may choose to forgo certain business opportunities due to religious or moral laws as well; however, these limitations are voluntary and are often less restrictive than those of Shari’ah laws. Religious limitations help to explain differences in entrepreneurial outcomes between Western and Islamic economies. However, direct comparison of the two systems using purely financial benchmarks is inappropriate. Islamic laws argue that the limitations imposed on Muslim entrepreneurs eliminate inherently immoral and unjust economic practices, and their prohibition increases the social value of the economy. Understanding the differences between the motivations of Western and Islamic entrepreneurs is important in determining their relative success.","PeriodicalId":261576,"journal":{"name":"AARN: Corporations (Topic)","volume":"92 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122910282","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
