    Benefiting innovative capabilities of software developer/user communities in developing countries
    (IEEE, 2010) Ansal, Hacer; Yıldırım, Nihan
    Since technological innovation is generally considered to be a major force in global economic growth, the development of innovative capabilities in developing countries has been a very important policy issue. Free/Libre Open Source Software (FLOSS) has reshaped software technology through the creation of developer/user communities which enabled the collaboration of different parties resulting in the production of Linux and similar software projects. FLOSS user/developer community networks serve not only as "learning, reviewing, and testing" environments for developers, but they may also act as innovation networks that contribute to the improvement of the innovative capabilities of individual developers within the community. Therefore, understanding the characteristics, the motivating factors and the innovative dynamics of these developer communities will provide valuable insight into how to improve the innovative capabilities of developing countries in relation to software.The aim of this paper is to explore the characteristics of FLOSS developer communities in order to discover what benefits they may offer developing countries in generating innovative capabilities related to software. By conducting a survey in the FLOSS user/developer community in Turkey, the demographic characteristics, motivation factors and innovative characteristics of the community are explored and the question of whether these communities may act as innovation networks is examined. It is concluded that FLOSS community networks mostly serve as knowledge sharing and collaboration platforms, however, they do have the potential to evolve into innovation networks if they receive support from the local software industry and academic institutions.

    Bilgi yoğun profesyonel hizmet firmalarında bilgi yönetimi: Türkiye'deki reklam ajansları üzerine bir çalışma
    (Bilgesel Yayıncılık San Tic Ltd, 2010-12) Şahin, Çiğdem; Ansal, Hacer
    Bu çalışma, bilgi yoğun hizmet üreten firmaların performanslarına etki eden bilgi ile ilgili faktörleri ortaya çıkarmayı amaçlamaktadır. Günümüz ekonomisinde firmaların en önemli stratejik gücü olarak değerlendirilen bilginin özellikle bilgi yoğun hizmetlerde yönetimi detaylı bir analizi gerektirmektedir (Grant, 1996). Bu çalışmada firmanın bilgiye ulaşım, bilgiyi paylaşım ve bilgi biriktirme yöntemlerinin firmanın performansı ile ilişkisi firmanın yerli ve yabancı kaynaklı olması çerçevesinde araştırılmaktadır. Önemli bilgi yoğun sektörlerden biri olan reklamcılık sektöründe yürütülen araştırmada, Türkiye'de faaliyet gösteren farklı performans seviyelerine ve kaynağa sahip altı adet reklam ajansı ile örnek olay çalışması yürütülmüştür. Araştırma firmanın yerli veya yabancı kaynaklı olmasının, firmanın bilgisini ve onu rekabet avantajına dönüştürebilme becerisini etkileyebildiğini göstermektedir. Bu çalışmanın bir diğer önemli sonucu ise farklı sektörlerde ve birçok müşteriye hizmet vererek kazanılan deneyimin bilgi yoğun firmalar için önemli bir rekabet avantajı sunuyor olmasıdır.

    Research characteristics and agenda of technology management discipline in Turkey
    (IEEE, 2008) Ansal, Hacer; Aygören, Huriye; Ekmekci, Cavit Umut
    Despite the growing importance of "Technology Management" (TM) field in advanced countries since 1990s, it is rather new for developing countries such as Turkey. Considering the diversity of needs and concerns in different countries, the evolution of TM discipline can be expected to follow different paths to include different national experiences and to consider unique national needs and concerns in relation with technology management. Therefore, to what extent this diversity is reflected in the mainstream TM research agenda is an important issue. Thus, the aim of this study is in two folds; first, to examine how the general research characteristics and agenda of TM discipline have evolved in the academic research in Turkey, and next, to what extent they have converged or diverged with the patterns of mainstream TM research in international journals, by analyzing the TM articles published by Turkish academics both in the national and international scientific journals. The findings of this research reveal that the TM discipline in Turkey indicate both divergent and convergent characteristics when compared with the results of recent studies about developed and developing countries. In addition, a significant difference is observed about how these characteristics are reflected in national and international journals.
