    The impact of privatization on the organizational culture: the Sümerbank case
    (1990) Göçer, Aylin Olcay
    While privatization has been well documented in terms of economic and financial analysis, little has been written from the human resources perspective and the issues of organizational culture and privatization's impact on the employees have not been studied. This thesis aims to articulate the culture in Sumerbank; to examine the possible impact of privatization of the employees; to show the culture clash between the takenfor-granted economic and financial assumptions of privatization and the organizational culture of Sumerbank; and to suggest a new privatization strategy that is sensitive to the culture of Sumerbank

    The privatization experience in Turkey during the 1980s
    (1990) Özman Akıncı, Aylin
    Privatization, aimed at decreasing the role of the state in the economy and politics, has been a fashionable policy tool during the 1980s both in many countries and Turkey. As far as the Turkish case is concerned, although the idea of privatization has been on the agenda from time to time since the early years of the Republic (established in 1923), the policy has gained prominence and started to be implemented in the post-1980 period, being a part of the 'liberal’ economic policies of the Motherland Party (MP) governments. In this respect, the primary purpose of this study is that of evaluating the privatization experience of Turkey in the said period by trying to show the fluctuation in the policies and inconsistencies in implementation, and attempting at accounting for them.

    Privatization in Turkey: changing perceptions and methods of a decade
    (1994) Çetin, M. Polat
    Decreasing the role of state in economics generally and of public sector particularly has been a fashionable policy means since the 1980s, being implemented in both developed and underdeveloped countries Among the developing countries, Turkish experience in privatization has been initiated timely, yet it has been implemented discontinuously due to serious political obstacles. Appearing first on the policy agenda of the Motherland Party in 1983 and being a party of the "Neo-Liberal Economics" initiated with the Januaiy 24 Measures, privatization has been undertaken continually, but not continuously in Turkey up until today. However, the privatization of the 1990s differ from the 1980s in terms of its methods, objectives and assumptions. Although there are some similarities, privatization in the 1990s reflects the ideologies of the new coalition-government formed by the True Path Party and Social Democratic Populist Party in 1991. The second term of this coalition under the leadership of Tansu Çiller gave birth to a polarization and various confrontations about privatization even among the coalition partners which came to surface particularly after the April 5 Measures. The main purpose of this study is to analyze the Turkish privatization experiences both in the 1980s and 1990s, trying to show the similarities and differences by focusing on the changing perceptions about this particular policy in order to draw some lessons for future prospects.
