    A Catalyst for Social Economy: Society 5.0
    (Istanbul University Publication, 2023-02-01) Toker K.; TOKER, KEREM
    As our planet moves towards the middle of the 21st century, it faces a dizzying digital transformation process. This transformation brings along with it unique and innovative solutions to numerous social, organizational, and managerial issues. The most tangible of these solutions so far is the vision of Society 5.0 announced by the Japanese government in 2016. Within this scope, the purpose of this chapter is to develop conceptual insight into the reasons for the emergence, components, and goals of Society 5.0. Up-to-date research and current reports on the topic have been examined in this context, and a conceptual framework is formed. The findings show that many digital tools of Society 5.0 are already used in economies, but policymakers discuss these tools’ human-centered reuse. As a result, a positive futuristic perspective has been drawn that humanity will continue its life on a more habitable planet for decades to come and unite digital and physical space.

Therefore, understanding the structure and management principles of non-profits is essential to create a global economy based on solidarity.

    Mediator role of innovation in the relationship between social development and happiness
    (2023-12-01) Gözübol Z. İ.; Baysal Yiğit A.; Toker K.; GÖZÜBOL, ZEKİYE İREM; TOKER, KEREM
    Governments, organizations, and researchers discuss the policies necessary for people and societies to lead a happy life in the 21st century as a critical issue. Although researchers expect a positive relationship between the happiness levels of communities and their social development levels, it is necessary to question the direction, the strength of this relationship and the existence of different variables affecting it. In this context, in this study, we aimed to examine the relationships among societies’ development level, happiness level, and innovation capacity. For this purpose, we obtained 2020 data from global reports covering the social development, innovation, and happiness variables of 119 countries. We tested the research model within the framework of these data and hierarchical regression analysis, and we found that innovation partially mediates the relationship between the social development levels of countries and happiness. Research results show that innovation is an intellectual and industrial process that positively affects the happiness of societies
