| ABSTRACT: Emerging economies face international competition and moreover, similar technology applies to organizations in the relevant industry. Therefore companies must strive to keep their market positions or create new business opportunities. Novel and innovative strategies are required in either case, which depends on differentiation in the market. Recognized as a value for sustainable competitive advantage and commercial success, industrial design (ID) has an essential role. This paper proposes that strategic approach to product design and development process is beneficial for the effectiveness of ID practices. Context of the research in the study is divided into two sections. The first section derived from a study previously conducted in Poland and aimed to observe whether Turkish companies recognized ID as a strategic tool for differentiation. A comparison of the results was made with the results obtained in Poland. The second section of the research context focuses on Turkish companies. To explore how strategic approach to product design and development process impacts on ID practices; factors and hypotheses were generated through principal components analysis prior to regression analysis to analyze the relationship. 198 companies from textile, furniture, and home appliances industries took part in the research. Major indications of the research show that strategic effect of teamwork has a central role in effective ID practices. |

| ABSTRACT: Bilgi çağına geçiş sürecinde önemli ilerleme kaydetmiş ekonomilerde faaliyet gösteren kuruluşların büyük bölümü alışılmış rekabetçi kıyaslama ve kalite yönetiminin dışında stratejileri benimsemektedir. Bu nedenle son yıllarda işletmelerin, sundukları kalitenin üzerine fark yaratıcı değerler koymak ve bu bağlamda iş modellerini daha geniş bir açıdan ele almak durumunda olduklarını söylemek mümkündür. İşletmelerde iş modellerinin yeniden kavramsallaştırılması ve pazarların yeniden şekillendirilmesi, böylece işletmelerin müşteriler için çarpıcı ölçüde bir değer sağlaması ve uzun vadede yüksek derecede büyüme ivmesini yakalaması olarak tanımlanabilen stratejik inovasyon yaklaşımı bu çalışmanın hareket noktasıdır. Stratejik inovasyon temelli iş modeli unsurlarına olan yaklaşımların analiz edilerek, sektörlerin karakteristik özelliklerini ortaya koyma amacını taşıyan bu araştırma kapsamına İstanbul Sanayi Odasına bağlı elektronik ürün ile kimyasal ürün ve boya üreticisi kuruluşlar dahil edilmiştir. |

| ABSTRACT: This
paper involves a study concerning the
characteristic use of differentiation as
a competitive strategy in Turkish Textile
Industry. The study includes 142
manufacturing enterprises located in one
of the major industrial zones in
Istanbul. Following a literature review,
variables were determined as cross-functionality,
creativity, synergy, consistency,
mission, allocation of
resources, innovation climate,
competitor products, influence
of macro issues for those regarding
the “organizational efforts focusing on
innovation” construct, and “influence
of the customer”. Results reveal two
clusters of companies in our research
context; one consisting of those applying
several organizational issues in order to
implement differentiation strategy in
their market, and the other, which focus
strictly on customer needs and

characteristics of two different
approaches to the discontinuity of the
innovation process. The context of the
research is a case study conducted in a
coaxial cable manufacturing company in
Turkey. The major purpose is to
investigate the effect of discontinuous
innovation on the respective basis of
product and manufacturing technology
within the dimensions of technological
uncertainty, technical inexperience,
production system and costs, supply
management and inventory policy, and
quality control and cost of quality. The
study was designed as a preliminary
research in order to clarify uncertain

| ABSTRACT:
Endüstri ürünlerinin tasarımı ve
geliştirilmesi daha çok gelişmiş
ülkelerdeki kuruluşların rekabetçi
gücünü sergilemekte ve diğer
organizasyonlardan saklı tutarak
paylaşmaktan kaçındığı kritik
faaliyetlerden birisiydi. Post-Fordizm
akımının da etkisiyle gelişmekte olan
ülkelerde, dünya pazarında önemli yer
edinmiş büyük ve çokuluslu
şirketlerin üretim birimleri kurulmuş
ve bu ülkelerde faaliyet gösteren ve
fason veya taklit üretim yaparak
küresel rekabete uyum sağlamaya
çalışan işletmelerin sayısının
hızla artmasına neden olmuştur. Ancak
değişen küresel rekabet koşulları ve
yasal, politik, ekonomik, teknolojik, vb
koşullar gelişmekte olan ülkelerdeki
işletmelerin stratejilerinde de önemli
değişimler yapmalarına yol açmakta,
bu işletmelerde endüstriyel tasarım
konusu giderek ilgi görmeye başlamakta
ve farklılaşma çabaları
görülmektedir. Bunun da ötesinde, bu
ülkelerde yeni kurulan işletmeler de,
yerel pazarla zaman kaybetmek yerine
doğrudan küresel rekabete uyum
sağlayıcı hedefler belirlemekte, uzun
vadeli yaşamlarını sürdürmeye
çalışırken endüstriyel tasarım ile
maliyet arasında tercihler yapmak
durumunda kalmaktadır. Küresel pazarda
benzer standartlarda teknolojiyi
kullanarak, benzer standartlarda üretim
gerçekleştiren organizasyonlar
açısından tasarım, pazarda
farklılaşmayı sağlayan temel
faktörlerden biri haline gelmiştir. Son
yirmi yıldır serbest pazar ilkelerine
uyum sağlama çabasında olan ve dış
pazarlara açılma konusunda çeşitli
atılımlarda bulunan ülkemiz
işletmelerinde de özgün endüstriyel
tasarım bilinci genel anlamda henüz
gelişmekte, bu durum özellikle AB
müzakerelerinde de sıkça
karşılaştığımız
tasarım-fason-taklit üçgeni (sorunu)
içinde ele alınmaktadır. Endüstriyel
tasarımı destekleyen kuruluşlar ve
birlikler, akademik kurumlar ve büyük
sanayi odaları bu bilincin gelişmesi ve
organizasyonların özellikle rekabet
stratejilerine adapte edilebilmesi için
bazı girişimlerde bulunmaktadır. Bu
araştırma çerçevesinde ele alınan
temel sorunsal ise bu duruma
odaklanmaktadır; ülkemiz endüstri
işletmelerinde tasarımın, küresel
rekabette ne derece farklılaşma aracı
olarak görüldüğü, bu işletmelerin
yönetiminde yaşanan “etkin
tasarım” ve “müşteri beklentisini
karşılama/maliyet düşürme
kaygısı” ve rekabet stratejilerinin
geliştirilmesindeki yeri, bu çalışma
kapsamında incelenmektedir. |

| ABSTRACT:
Developing teams is to restrict a big
network into a certain micro environment,
where members maintain strategic
complementarity and reduce the level of
information asymmetry among themselves.
Therefore, they expect to yield a
rational result as a consequence of their
global behavior; the sum of the overall
interaction weights within the team. This
study considers the product development
project teams as social networks with
certain types of topology according to
their configurations. The global behavior
of these networks are analyzed through
five types of interactions among its
members; configurationally basic,
department-based, accesibility-based,
professional and social interactions,
providing a framework to understand what
cautions or efforts would be needed to
use all potential channels of interaction
more effectively. |

| ABSTRACT:
Innovation, and therefore product
development process became the essential
competence of an organisation.
Competition will be retained by the
generation of new concepts with
innovative ideas for developing products.
In fact, competitors might replicate a
firm’s performance for a lesser expense
by exploiting knowledge that
inadvertently spills outside the firms’
boundaries. Hereby, the importance of the
knowledge flow in the product development
process is obvious. This study focuses on
the crucial element of the process; a
coordinator who has to follow all the
environmental factors, create and
generate ideas, help the knowledge flow
throughout the product development team
and organisation’s members by using
several managerial capabilities. We
simply call such a person the “mediator”,
and developed a model that would reflect
his managerial capabilities in such a
position. The model is also implemented
in one electronic goods manufacturing
company in Turkey in order to maintain
general view of the model’s theoretical
assumptions. |

| ABSTRACT: A
supportive and strong link between the
manager and the employee; empowerment,
which brought a radical change in
managerial issues is basically the
outcome of the Third Managerial
Revolution; the employee participation.
Moreover, empowerment plays a vital role
while competing in today's global
business environment, in which flat
organisations are focused on responding
their customers' needs and requirements
better and faster than their competitors.
Delegation of authority for a long period
of time in the past dominated the
management field. In fact, this view
changed into the "empowerment"
concept and it covers the participation
and delegation of authority along with
the motivation of the employees. This
study analyses the implementation of
empowerment over three successive eras in
Turkish economy through a research, which
was conducted in the 50 largest
enterprises of Turkey in terms of number
of employees. |

| ABSTRACT: Today's
global competitive environment require an
element that holds much more value than
technology, natural resources and even
money; knowledge and every individual is
a knowledge worker. Burk, whose
background is in technology transfer (not
human resources) says; knowledge
management is 80% people and 20%
technology. In our study, we have aimed
to determine how efficient HRM practices
can provide an effective knowledge
management process in the organisations.
In this study, we have aimed to examine
the total efficiency of the HRM functions
on the knowledge management efforts in
the large sized Turkish firms that are
members of the Istanbul Chamber of
Commerce. We have also aimed to find out
the one to one relationship between each
function of the HRM and the knowledge
management. Our findings support the
result that the surveyed firms are
generally concentrated on analysing the
individual needs and career planning in
their knowledge management efforts. |

| ABSTRACT:
Comprising nine provinces, with a total
budget of $32 billion; "The
Southeastern Anatolia Project, GAP"
is the most massive public project in the
history of the Turkish Republic. Indeed,
GAP is a multi-sectoral and integrated
regional development project, based on
the concept of sustainable development.
Indeed, GAP does not only mean building
dams for electricity and irrigation of
fertile plains. The project has also a
vital purpose to eliminate the
disparities in the development of
different regions of Turkey. Moreover,
the project helps decrease the number of
registered unemployed people in the
Region which is above the national
average. The project provides suitable
conditions for attracting the skilled
labour force and the people who have the
willing to make investments in the
Region, particularly those who have
already immigrated. Through an analysis
of the relationship between strategic
management and the human resource
planning efforts within the corporations,
our research is based on a comparison
between the top 100 firms located in the
GAP region and its neighbour provinces
and the 500 major industrial enterprises
of Turkey, announced annually by the ICI,
Istanbul Chamber of Industry. A detailed
process has been generated, which enables
to view the strategic management process
that leads to the human resources
planning with; macro environmental
analysis prior to the analysis of the
industry and the firm's resources,
mission statement, followed by goal
setting and business unit strategy
formulation, which leads to the stage of
monitoring the human resources of the
organisation, where demand for, as well
as supply of human resources are
forecast. As an outcome of this process,
certain variables and their dimensions
are processed through some statistical
techniques in order to view the
relationship. Finally, the
characteristics of the firms in the GAP
region are determined within a frame of
the strategic management process and
human resources planning relations, and
compared with those of the 500 major
firms of Turkey. |

| ABSTRACT:
Gathering the customer requirements and
needs in the preliminary stages of the
product development process, the
proactive approach enables the
organizations with advantages of cost and
time, which are the two key factors of
competitiveness in the global market.
Along with the proactive approach, it is
obvious that customers and employees are
satisfied at the highest level, product
development process becomes more rapid
than before, costs are reduced, and
problems, which arise within the process
before the production stage as well as
during the product development process,
are eliminated. In this study, the above
mentioned facts are regarded as the
variables that comprise the
organization’s proactive point of view.
This study aims to determine whether the
firms use the proactive approach and the
correlation among the variables. A survey
was conducted to product managers in the
small and medium sized firms having more
than 250 employees listed by “Ekonomist
(December 1998)”, a Turkish magazine of
economy. Data received from the survey
are processed through the SPSS for MS
Windows 8.0, and correlation and
regression analyses are conducted in
order to verify the correlation among the
variables prior to definitive and
explanatory statistical analysis. |

| ABSTRACT:
Following the international trends and
today’s highly competitive environment,
it is important that every organization
throughout the world should strive for
better performance. In order to provide a
consistent mission and vision along with
the strategic plan, the objectives and
actions regarding each unit and
individual within the organization must
be well-defined and aligned with business
priorities. Differing from other systems
of planning; Hoshin Kanri Planning
comprises every part of an organization.
Evolved in Japan as a system of planning
and deployment, Hoshin Kanri Planning is
widely used around the world by many
leading companies. Its purpose is to be
aware of the status quo and make a major
performance improvement by analyzing
current problems and deploying in
response to environmental conditions.
With Hoshin Kanri Planning, top
management vision can be translated into
a set of coherent, consistent,
understandable and attainable policies
and actions, and can be easily applied at
all levels and in all functions of the
organization. Among the initial
considerations in the Hoshin Kanri
Planning approach to business system
change are; (1) measuring the business
system as a whole, (2) setting core
objectives of the business, and (3)
understanding the environmental situation
in which the business operates. The
intention is that, in companies using
Hoshin Kanri Planning, everybody is aware
of management’s vision and individuals
become capable to run their projects to
successful conclusions through
coordinated business processes. In this
study, the aim is to provide a broad view
of Hoshin Kanri Planning System
applications in the Turkish companies
that have already implemented ISO
9001-9002 certification. The research
comprises companies that have received
the above-mentioned certificates from
TSE, the Turkish Standards Institution,
by the years 1998 and 1999. |

ABSTRACT:
Girişimsel kimlikle bir organizasyonu
kuran girişimci kurmuş olduğu
organizasyonu yönetirken, organizasyonun
büyüme evresine girmesi ile birlikte,
daha profesyonel bir yönetici kimliğine
girme gereksinimi duymaktadır. Bu
çalışma kapsamında, girişimci ile
yönetici profilleri arasındaki
farklılıkları daha açık ortaya
koyabilmek için öncelikle girişimsel
yönetim süreci dahilinde girişimsel
süreç, kurulan organizasyonun gelişim
evreleri ve yönetsel faktörler ele
alınmaktadır. Çalışmanın ikinci
bölümünde girişimcinin yönetim
süreci dahilinde karşı karşıya
kaldığı dört farklı kimlik ortaya
konmakta, girişimci profili ile
yönetici profili arasındaki farklar
incelenmektedir. Son bölümde ise,
girişimcilikten profesyonel
yöneticiliğe geçiş süreci
kapsamında iki profil arasındaki
farklılıkların organizasyon
çerçevesinde giderilmesine ilişkin bir
geçiş modelinin yorumu yer almaktadır.

The entrepreneur, who manages the
organization which he established on his
own, will naturally need to act like a
professional manager as his organization
reaches to the growth stage. In this
study, the entrepreneurial process, the
development stages of an entrepreneurial
organization and managerial factors are
defined through the entrepreneurial
management process in order to clarify
the differences between the entrepreneur
and the manager profiles. In the second
chapter, following the explanation of
four different trends that the
entrepreneur faces during the management
process, the comparison of these two
profiles are presented in details.
Finally, the transition model from an
entrepreneur to a professional manager is
taken into consideration within the
organization. |

| ABSTRACT: Among
the management tools that have been
developed to deliver the product to the
customer in line with his requirements,
Quality Function Deployment (QFD)
demonstrates its proactive characteristic
by considering the customer requirements
and needs, or briefly voice of the
customer, as the initiator input of the
product development process. Furthermore,
the implementation of projects as costly
and time consuming as QFD depends on
several organisational issues, which have
great impact on the basic prerequisites
that are necessary to initiate and
conduct the project. The article examines
the basic prerequisites with the impacts
of the organisational issues on each of
them. |
