D WHAT ENABLE YOUTH ENTREPRENEURSHIP 1. Entrepreneurial Finance : Enhance access to financial resources for entrepreneurs and small and medium enterprises (SMEs) Findings: • A few increasingly integrated financial groups dominating the market including banks, agencies and other formal sector financial institutions focusing on the lower to higher end of the market. E. g. KOSGEB, ORAN • A strong informal system of credit, majorly traditional way to raise money by asking friends and family and rotating savings and credit associations, existing in parallel to the formal banking system and serving the lower end of the market. Gap: Recommendations: • Early-stage entrepreneurial activity in Kayseri region is much lower than in developing countries • Particularly nascent entrepreneurs, are the most vulnerable and most in need of favorable conditions. • Lacks microfinance framework – regulator indirectly encouraging investors/initiatives to partner with banks • Enhance access to information • A venture capital fund with a strong emphasis on strategic and operational involvement in the business. • Greater scope of micro-finance via bank or NGO : IBM Corporate Service Corps : Turkey Team 6 • Full-range of microfinance services • Savings-based Approaches • Microleasing © 2011 IBM Corporation

E WHAT IS YOUTH ENTREPRENEURSHIP ECO-SYSTEM Eco-System #1: Current Issues Analysis (1/2) Government Institution Target: ORAN Development Agency Category As-Is Issue New Idea §They understand how to make innovative ideas basically. §They do yearly review. In every review, have session for sharing knowledge, then there be climate for change and innovation. §In ORAN Development Agency, they hold some seminars to raise awareness. Because entrepreneurs are always busy, ORAN can sponsor the seminars or partner with industrial leaders. §Companies in Kayseri don’t involve lead users when planning and designing new product. §Need to be conscious that outside pressure such as De-regulation, Corporate governnance helps innovative idea. Finance §To gain first customer entrepreneurs in Kayseri have a good network with customers. §Support of start up company is usually from state and KOSGEB, TOBB. §They normally get commitment with CFO. §Entrepreneurs in Kayseri don’t deploy network of venture capitalist. §There is only a few venture capitalist in Turkey. §Tax in Turkey is very high when starting up company.

E WHAT IS YOUTH ENTREPRENEURSHIP ECO-SYSTEM Eco-System #1: Current Issues Analysis (2/2) Government Institution Target: ORAN Development Agency Category As-Is Issue Marketing §Entrepreneurs in Kayseri sometimes go to shopping center to grasp characteristics and requirements of the customers. §They think that entrepreneurs should know strength, financial situation, competitors and find out new opportunity, market and need to innovate and sell it to neighboring countries of Turkey. §More Turkish entrepreneurs now go to Africa to expand like in the biscuit industries. §They think that entrepreneurs should focus on both marketing and sales. §The policy of market segment in starting up company which they should encourage may not be sufficient. Experience §European Union grant student exchange program in the summer to learn new language. §KOSGEB give people subsidy when attending exhibition abroad to entrepreneurs. §Most universities offer the seminars including successful stories and case studies of entrepreneurs. §People can choose to go abroad for internship program to gain practical experiences. §It is big problem that few people can speak English in Kayseri in Turkey in terms of gaining training or real world experience in foreign countries. IBM Corporate Service Corps : Turkey Team 6 © 2011 IBM Corporation
Eco System #1: Government Institutions Recommendations New Idea §-- Encourage entrepreneurs in technology based company in Kayseri to invite lead users when planning and designing new products. Lead users support innovation at the leading edge of markets where demand is both small and uncertain. (Lead user innovation / method) Finance and Funding §- Support that entrepreneurs can deploy & join in network of venture capitalists in foreign countries. §- Should promote tax reduction policy for starting a company as the tax in Turkey is very high in starting up a company. Business Plan §- They should advise that KOSGEB set ten customers as target in starting up company clearly when estimating and judging business plans. §- As planned, ORAN should start the grant for entrepreneurs with business plans next year. Marketing §- Encourage entrepreneurs in Kayseri to initially focus on a small but significant market segment. This provides entry into the market and success stories to impress potential customers who prefer to follow rather than to lead. Skills and Experience §-- Encourage people in Kayseri to study English and try to gain training or real world experience in foreign countries.

E WHAT IS YOUTH ENTREPRENEURSHIP ECO-SYSTEM Eco-System #3: Universities and Institutions Global Examples Netherlands Five-phase entrepreneurship education model supported by Dutch Government : § Phase 1 – Primary Schools: First experience with entrepreneurship Students are introduced to the notion of entrepreneurship as an option. At this stage, students learn in a playful way to develop their talents and general skills like working in groups and orientation to production. § Phase 2 – Secondary Schools: Consciousness of Skills Autonomous forms of learning are used to enhance consciousness and insight about what they know and what they do not know. § Phase 3 – Creative Applications and Enrichment of Experiences: Students are introduced to product orientation, learning by experience, and elements of competition. This may include minienterprises. § Phase 4 – Preparation and Real Start-Up: Interest in entrepreneurship should be raised in this phase through real start-up with the support of education institutions. § Phase 5 – Growth and Innovation: Expanded support in the form of finance, personnel, knowledge, and networks is important in this phase. 60 South Africa Youth-specific Business Development Services programme in South Africa § The Business Establishment and Sustainability Programme (BESP) Started in 1993 by the Centre for Opportunity Development (COD).

E WHAT IS YOUTH ENTREPRENEURSHIP ECO-SYSTEM Overall Eco-System: Global Example Communities & Councils Taiwan § 78% of labor force employed in SME sector and the self-employment rate is equally high (21. 5%). § The entrepreneurship culture is more firmly rooted from families and small business than from the education system. SMEs are regarded as incubators for employees to gain support, knowledge and skills to start their own business usually with the support of their bosses. Eventually, the former employee-turned entrepreneur becomes a customer or a supplier. Taiwan has nationally established commissions on youth entrepreneurship development to complement private initiatives. § The National Youth Commission This organization was established in 1966 and has complemented many programmes involving youth guidance. In 1972 it established the Youth Industrial Parks to provide the youth the environment to open factories. It still runs the Youth Enterprise Loan Scheme startups for recipients between 20 and 45 years, as well as the Young Entrepreneurs Award Programme. § Chinese Youth Career Development Association (CYCDA) Established in 1964, the goal of this body is to exchange career development experiences, and promote youth cooperation, networking and social activities. Current membership is 7000 and over 10 000 entrepreneurs have participated in its programmes including: (i) Start up loan of up to NT 12 million to young people (23 -45) to start a business. There is a grace period of up to one year during which the young client pays only interest, and repayment can extend up to 10 years. (ii) Two industrial parks for young entrepreneurs (iii) Courses and instructions for young people, offering over 1000 training programmes a year (iv) Commercial information, management publications and opportunity information § (SMBCGF) start-up Loan Guarantees for Young Entrepreneurs The Small and Medium Business Credit Guarantee Fund (SMBCGF) offers guarantees for start up loans to young entrepreneurs applying up to NT$ 4 million for a manufacturing business, NT$1. 4 million being secured as collateral. It is given as a personal loan with a two-year grace period. Evaluation results suggest that this programme is cost effective. IBM Corporate Service Corps : Turkey Team 6 © 2011 IBM Corporation

F OVERALL HIGH-LEVEL RECOMMENDATION Next Step § The recommendations laid out in the preceding slides are just the first steps in helping ORAN in achieving its goals for youth entrepreneurship in Kayseri. § To be successful in its endeavours, the management has to draw up an action plan to execute the recommendations. It is essential that an action group of key stakeholders decide on how the recommendations will be carried out and the order in which the problems will be approached. § This group also needs to determine the criteria of success for each option on the achievement of which the objective will be said to have been met. Continuous engagement will be required from this core group to set goals and then see that efforts are being made to meet them. § In case a strategy falters or is not showing good results, continuous follow up is required to reformat it. Specifically, the following needs to be done as way forward: § Implement strategic choices – Review strategic options and identify how success will be measured – Determine priority of execution – Establish a clear time frame for completion of each activity – Assign responsibility for execution to key stakeholders – Establish meeting cadence for status reviews and follow up § Evaluate success – Evaluating effectiveness of strategy on an ongoing basis Ø To determine if new direction needs to be provided Ø To review measures of success IBM Corporate Service Corps : Turkey Team 6 © 2011 IBM Corporation
