Design/methodology/approach -Primary data were obtained via a self-administered mail questionnaire distributed to a census of the top 500 private sector organizations based on revenue in each country. Findings -The research identified some interesting findings that showed that the small group of companies in Turkey that have a code may appear to be more "advanced" in ethics artifacts usage than Sweden. Such a conclusion is counter-intuitive as one would have expected a developed nation like Sweden to be more advanced in these measures than a developing nation such as Turkey. Culture may play a large role in the implementation of ethics artifacts in corporations and could be a major reason for this difference. Research limitations/implications -As this is such a new area of investigation in Turkey, the responses amount to only 32 companies that have a code. The small sample is indicative of the formative evolution toward having codes of ethics within companies operating within Turkey. Practical implications -This study enables those organizations that comprise corporate Turkey to view the current state of codes of ethics in Turkish companies and to compare these with the responses of a developed country of the European Union. Originality and value -A review of the literature indicates that this is the first time that such an international study specifically focused upon codes of ethics and the artifacts to inculcate the ethos of the code into every day corporate affairs has included Turkey as one of the participating countries.

It provides an international comparison across three continents. It is also based on a longitudinal approach where three national surveys were performed in 2001-2002 and replications of the same surveys were performed in 2005-2006. The empirical findings of this research show in all three countries that large organisations indicate a substantial interest in corporate codes of ethics. There are, however, differences in the ways that the companies in each country implement and communicate their corporate codes of ethics and the benefits that they see being derived from them. The longitudinal comparison between 2001-2002 and 2005-2006 indicates changes in the implementation, communication and benefits of corporate codes of ethics in the three countries.

Bu kapsamda, yazın taraması eşliğinde, "örgütün hiyerarşik düzeylerinden bağımsız olarak tüm bireyleri, girişimci gibi düşünecek ve eyleme geçecek biçimde geliştirmek ve uzun dönemde ortalamanın üzerinde getiri elde etmek" amacı güden girişimci yönetim biçimi ile finansal performans ilişkisi, Çanakkale Bölgesi'nde faaliyet gösteren otel işletmeleri üzerinde görgül olarak incelenmiştir. Gerçekleştirilen Pearson ve Spearman Korelâsyon ve çoklu doğrusal regresyon analizleri doğrultusunda, girişimci yönetim biçiminin alt boyutları olarak, stratejik yönelimin, finansal performanstan duyulan genel tatmin düzeyi, özsermaye kârlılığı ve aktif büyüklüğündeki değişim; kaynak yöneliminin, finansal performanstan duyulan genel tatmin düzeyi ve özsermaye kârlılığı; ödüllendirme sisteminin, finansal performanstan duyulan genel tatmin düzeyi, yatırım kârlılığı, satışlardaki değişim, net kâr marjı, net kâr düzeyi, faaliyet kârı düzeyi ve büyüme finansmanı sağlama yeteneği; girişimci kültür boyutunun, aktif kârlılığı ve satışlardaki değişim ile pozitif yönlü ilişki içerisinde olduğu, belirlenmiştir. Elde edilen sonuçlar, finansal performans ölçütleri açısından en önemli değişkenin büyüme yönelimi olduğunu işaret etmektedir.
