Item Open Access Are the European markets integrated? Evidence from French stocks cross-listed on the German market(2000) Bayar, A.; Önder, Z.This study examines the behaviour of French stocks that are cross-listed on Xetra for the period between May 1998 and November 1999. It is found that after French stocks are cross-listed in the German market, their exposure to local market risk declines and their exposure to the world market risk increases significantly. The results are consistent with the market segmentation hypothesis. Similar results are observed when stocks are grouped into size por(folios and book value-to-market value porifolios. The analysis of the abnormal returns also supports a significant decline in stock returns aier cross-listing.Item Open Access Bureaucracy in the Ottoman–Turkish polity(CRC Press, 2009) Heper, Metin; Berkman, Ümit; Farazmand, A.Item Open Access Combinatorial auctions in Turkish day-ahead electricity markets(CRC Press, 2015) Derinkutu, K.; Tanrısever, Fehmi; Baytugan, F.; Sezgin, M.; Sabuncuoglu, İ.; Kara, B. Y.; Bidanda, B.Item Open Access Consumption in the web of local and global relations of dominance and belonging(Routledge, 2017) Ger, Güliz; Keller, M.; Halkier, B.; Wilska, T. -A.; Truninger, M.This chapter focuses on how consumption serves to build and resolve tensions amplified by globalization and, its escort, neoliberal marketization, in the so-called emerging markets, in particular in Turkey. It examines how the consumers in a locality experience their encounters with people, things, ideologies, and images global, within the structural enablers and disablers, and if and how their ways and patterns of consumption change or not; how they define and differentiate themselves from internal Others that emerge or become amplified with globalization. The chapter discusses the main approaches in the literature and offers directions for future research on consumption. It reviews the diverse consumer experiences of and responses to their global encounters embedded in asymmetrical global flows. The chapter presents criticisms of hybridity and 'flow speak'. It also focuses on the Others within the local as it navigates the global: the rural other, class-based Others, and multiple Others of the faithful or the Islamists in Turkey.Item Open Access Culture and management in Turkey: State-Dependency and paternalism in transition(Presse de l’Université Laval et TÉLUQ/UQAM, 2008) Berkman, Ümit; Özen, Ş.; Davel, E.; Dupuis, J. -P.; Chanlat, J. -F.In this chapter, we focus on the change and continuity in the Turkish business system and managerial culture. First we discuss the distinguishing characteristics of the business system, family-owned big business groups, and their relationships with each other and the state. After a brief presentation of Turkish cultural values, we discuss the main features of Turkish organizational and managerial culture and their implications for the practice. We conclude that the state-dependent characteristics of the Turkish business system have started to erode due to the liberalization policies implemented over the last three decades. However, the dominating economic actors are still big business groups, invariably diversified vertically and horizontally, and controlled by the owning family members through pyramidal or complex ownership structures. We also conclude that Turkish managerial culture has gradually become less paternalistic and collectivistic, and more masculine and risk-taking.Item Open Access Debunking the myths of global consumer culture literature(SAGE, 2018) Ger, Güliz; Karababa, E.; Kuruoğlu, A.; Türe, M.; Üstüner, T.; Yenicioğlu, B.; Kravets, O.; Maclaran, P.; Miles, S.; Venkatesh, A.Item Unknown Doing research on sensitive topics: studying covered Turkish women(Edward Elgar Publishing, 2006) Ger, Güliz; Sandıkçı, ÖzlemItem Unknown Dowry: a cherished possession or an old-fashioned tradition in a modernizing society?(Lawrence Erlbaum Associates, Inc., 2003) Sandıkçı, Özlem; İlhan, Ece; Otnes, C. C.; Lowrey, T. M.Item Unknown Financial forecasting with judgement(John Wiley & Sons, 1998) Önkal-Atay, Dilek; Wright, G.; Goodwin, P.Judgment plays a prominent role in financial forecasting. This chapter reviews previous work on judgmental forecasting of critical financial variables like earnings, exchange rates, stock prices and interest rates. Forecasting accuracy of judgmental point, categorical and probability forecasts are examined with a special focus on the effects of expertise, forecast horizon, task format and contextual information. It is concluded that future research into the needs of both providers and users of judgmental forecasts is crucial for the dissemination of financial knowledge and uncertainty. Within this framework, it is argued that the issues of information utilization, use of heuristics and resultant biases, combining of judgmental forecasts, and investigations of the effects of feedback and different elicitation formats on forecasting accuracy remain important directions for future financial forecasting research.Item Open Access Gendering entrepreneurship: a discursive analysis of a woman entrepreneur competition(Edward Elgar Publishing, 2015) Göğüş, Celile Itır; Örge, Örsan; Duygulu, Ozan; Blackburn, R.; Hytti, U.; Welter, F.Women’s entrepreneurship has long been regarded as a special area of entrepreneurship with its own sub-category at academic conferences, like the RENT conference, with special issues in academic journals such as those in Entrepreneurship and Regional Development and Entrepreneurship Theory and Development and more recently with a dedicated journal, International Journal of Gender and Entrepreneurship. This ‘special’ aspect of the field is also seen in the representation of female entrepreneurship as a unique category within the larger entrepreneurship domain with special government support policies, non-governmental organizations and associations working to support its development and growth. Whether approached from a gender and occupations (that is, representation of women in the general workforce) or a feminist theory and research perspective (Jennings and Brush 2013), it is evident that women entrepreneurs and women’s entrepreneurship is and will continue to be an important sub-area within the larger entrepreneurship domain. In this chapter, we aim to contribute to this body of work on women’s entrepreneurship by taking the feminist theory perspective and analyzing an entrepreneurship competition targeted at women entrepreneurs. More specifically, we focus on a prominent woman entrepreneur competition in Turkey, ‘Turkey’s Woman Entrepreneur Competition’ and perform a critical analysis of the media discourse generated through the competition to reveal how the event serves as an arena for various forms of gender work.Item Open Access Globally responsible intergenerational leadership(IGI Global, 2019) Aydoğmuş, Ceren; Puaschunder, J. M.Today's workforce is more diverse than ever, comprised of five generational cohorts: Traditionalists, Baby Boomers, Generation X, Generation Y, and Generation Z. As each generation has its own values, beliefs, and expectations, their leadership preferences pose new challenges for organizations. In this chapter, leadership approaches are discussed, and the differences and similarities among preferred generational leadership styles are examined. The purpose of this chapter is to determine an appropriate leadership style that meets the needs of all generations, and globally responsible inter-generational leadership has been suggested as the most effective approach.Item Open Access The good, the bad and the jolly: taste, image and the symbolic resistance to the coca-colonisation of Denmark(Routledge, 2000) Csaba, Fabian F.; Askegaard, Soren; Brown, S.; Patterson, A.This chapter examines the efforts of Denmark’s once favoured national cola, Jolly Cola, to resist the advancement of Coca-Cola and, to a lesser degree, Pepsi. In moving our looking glass to the struggles of this obscure Danish product, we seek to move the debate on globalisation, consumption and culture home to our own ‘back yard’. From here, we offer a refreshing story, drawn from our local narrative tradition and woven together with advertising imagery, about the ‘symbolic’ resistance to the Coca-colonisation of Denmark. The story is partially inspired by Baudrillard’s (1976) observation that each term in a disjunction excludes its other, its opposition, whereby the opposition becomes the imaginary of the former term. Hence, the American ‘other’ becomes the central imaginary against which references to Danishness are constructed. One of our key arguments is that marketing forms a central part of this particular imaginary whereby ‘Americanness’ becomes a particular element in the Danish approach to imagining marketing. This imagination takes it outset both in the very real representations of Coca-Cola’s and Pepsi’s marketing efforts and in the suprasensual imaginations (Wunenburger 1991), formulae of intuitive and creative genius that are believed to be the secret behind the success of the American marketing magic. We will look further into the seemingly futile marketing efforts to end and reverse the decline of Jolly Cola, a product which of course also represents a piece of Danish popular culture and commercial history. The purpose is not to perform a premature autopsy of Jolly, but to explore further the symbolic meanings of cola in relation to globalisation and consumption through the story and advertising imagery of an ailing local cola.Item Open Access Grasping the Global: multi-sited Ethnographic market studies(Edward Elgar Publishing, 2006) Kjeldgaard, D.; Faurholt, C. F.; Ger, Güliz; Belk, R. W.[No abstract available]Item Open Access Hazardous materials transportation(Elsevier B.V., 2007) Erkut, Erhan; Verter, Vedat; Tjandra, S. A.; Barnhart, C.; Laporte, G.According to the US Department of Transportation (US DOT), a hazardous material is defined as any substance or material capable of causing harm to people, property, and the environment. Dependence on hazardous materials is a fact in industrialized societies. There are thousands of different hazardous materials in use currently. The United Nations sorts hazardous materials into nine classes according to their physical, chemical, and nuclear properties: explosives and pyrotechnics; gasses; flammable and combustible liquids; flammable, combustible, and dangerous-when-wet solids; oxidizers and organic peroxides; poisonous and infectious materials; radioactive materials; corrosive materials (acidic or basic); and miscellaneous dangerous goods, such as hazardous wastes. In almost all instances, hazmats originate at a location other than their destination. The transportation of hazmats can be classified according to the mode of transport—namely, road, rail, water, air, and pipeline. Some shipments are intermodal; they are switched from one mode to another during transit.Item Open Access How to address the Turkish paradox of innovation to build a competitive economy?(Springer, 2009) Gümüşlüoğlu, Lale; Elçi, Ş.; Aydogan, N.The ability to innovate has become a crucial prerequisite of strong organizations as well as economies. Theoretical and empirical evidence demonstrates that developing countries with effective innovation policies and well-functioning national innovation systems are better positioned to close the development gap and improve their competitiveness. Turkey started discussing the innovation subject from the policy perspective in the mid-1990s, during the same time as the EU, where—at that time—a wide-ranging debate was stimulated by the “Green Paper on Innovation,” and the government defined its main objective in this topic as “the establishment of the National Innovation System that would enable systematic operation of the whole institutions and mechanisms required to carry out scientific and technological research and development activities and to transform the results of those activities into economic and social benefit.” However, until today, this goal has not been fully achieved and the innovation performance remained below the desired level. Although innovation performance is low, demand for innovative products/services, one of the prime drivers of innovation, is very high in Turkey. Departing from this paradox, this chapter discusses how to increase the innovative capabilities of the Turkish firms in favor of a competitive economy.Item Open Access Human resource management in an international context(Palgrave Macmillan, 2005) Girgin, K. Zeynep; Özbilgin, M.This chapter has examined the reasons for the growth of IHRM as a field of study, and has identified the various approaches within IHRM, such as international and comparative studies. The chapter also reviewed the convergence and divergence debates that prevail in the IHRM literature. Finally the chapter examined MNC as a particular domain within the IHRM field, and has concluded with a case study on HRM policies and practices of various US MNCs in a developing country, Turkey, in an attempt to understand the significant factors that impact on the transfer and application of their HRM policies to their subsidiaries.Item Open Access International marketing at the interface of the alluring global and the comforting local(Taylor and Francis, 2013) Ger, Güliz; Kravets, Olga; Sandıkçı, ÖzlemThis chapter highlights the poles of global/local and standardization/adaptation and calls for a focus on the specifi c interaction between a local context and the global forces while forming a glocalization strategy. It focuses on a key question managers try to answer: what is the right marketing approach for a fi rm operating in international markets? The decision of if and how to tailor their marketing offerings to global/local market dynamics is fundamental in defi ning the marketing strategy of both transnationals and local companies in emergent markets. We describe how emergent market companies can successfully compete with transnational giants by developing brands that serve consumers bridge various sociocultural tensions in their daily lives. We focus on one such tension: the alluring global and the comforting local. Two cases – a Russian brand of cosmetics, Green Mama and a Turkish brand of cola, Cola Turka – demonstrate effective business solutions that bridge the desire for both the local and the global. These cases also underscore that the specifi cs of the design and implementation of glocalization as well as cultural analysis of the sociohistorical context of a national market are vital for successful marketing.Item Open Access Inventory theory(Taylor & Francis, 2016) Gürler, Ülkü; Berk, Emre; Sengupta, R. N.; Dutta, J.; Gupta, A.Inventory theory is concerned with management of the quantity and timing of the replenishment of assets typically stored to satisfy future demands. In this chapter, we introduce the fundamentals of inventory theory and the basic models that constitute the technical core of supply chain management. The purpose of the chapter is to expose the reader to the basic concepts, models, and theoretical results that would serve as a foundation to build upon and to introduce the existing literature. The exposition follows the common classification of inventory models on the basis of echelon structures (single vs. multiple locations/levels), demand processes (deterministic vs. random demands), problem horizon lengths (finite vs. infinite), and perishability (nonperishables vs. perishables). Specifically, the chapter introduces the basic terminology and inventory-related costs and proceeds to construct the continuous and periodic review models with deterministic demands. The models considered herein establish the fundamental trade-offs between the cost components. In each category, the stylistic models are presented first to develop intuition, followed by relaxations of the basic assumptions that result in more realistic models and richer insights. Stochastic demands are treated extensively as they constitute not only the more general contexts but also a vaster portion of the existing literature. For the continuous-review, stochastic demand setting, three different modeling approaches are illustrated in detail to provide a foundation for different solution methodologies encountered in the literature. Special cases are also treated in detail to the same end. The multiple-item and multiple-echelon inventory systems are discussed concisely but all the basic models and results are presented. For such systems, extensive references are given. The modeling approaches assume a basic familiarity with probability and stochastic processes; in cases of specialized techniques, sufficient intuition is provided for the uninitiated. The emphasis is on the model development and codification of the existing knowledge. Where available, optimal control policies are established and presented. In the absence of such policies, commonly used approximations and/or heuristics are given. To illustrate some of the heuristic methods and models, simple numerical examples are also provided. The chapter concludes with some discussion of issues and practices encountered in the implementation of the discussed models.Item Open Access Islam, consumption and marketing: going beyond the essentialist approaches(Edward Elgar Publishing Ltd., 2011) Sandıkçı, Özlem; Ger, Güliz; Sandıkçı, Özlem; Rice, G.Item Open Access Islamic marketing: an introduction and overview(Edward Elgar Publishing Ltd., 2011) Sandıkçı, Özlem; Rice, G.; Sandıkçı, Özlem; Rice, G.
