Professor Beysül's research program strategically intersects finance, accounting, and sustainability. She investigates behavioral phenomena in investment markets (particularly herding behavior), alternative asset valuation (with specialized expertise in wine economics), and sustainability frameworks including circular economy implementation and environmental management control systems. Her work consistently applies empirical rigor to practical business challenges, often with focus on the wine industry as a specialized economic sector.

Recent publications (2024-2025) reveal a pronounced pivot toward sustainability integration, with multiple studies examining ESG outcomes, circular economy practices, and sustainable supply chain management while maintaining her finance core. This evolution demonstrates responsiveness to emerging market demands while leveraging established methodological expertise.

Her advising approach emphasizes practical application, reflected in educational books that translate complex concepts for business practitioners. Though specific grant details aren't documented, her sustained publication output in Q1 journals indicates active research funding. Students benefit from her industry-connected scholarship, particularly in niche areas like wine economics and sustainability metrics where she offers specialized mentorship.
