Yayın Crisis project management and the effect of national culture under crisis: A study from Turkey(Pressacademia, 2016-05-26) Karayaz, Gamze; Kaptan, Aşkın KaanCrisis management is a critical function in organizations, specifically developing and emerging countries dealing with crisis in a minor and major scale frequently. Crisis in projects should be handled immediately and professionally in where the projects threat the reputation of a company. In traditional organizations, most common organizational behavior under crisis seems to take the risk with no supported mechanism. Project management based organizations practice risk management under project management methodologies, surprisingly we cannot find many companies are prepared for crisis. This behavior may associate with national culture, especially Hofstede's extensive work on national cultures. Therefore, this paper investigates cultural characteristics of Turkish business culture under crisis, and identifies the relationship with the natural culture dimensions and crisis project management. Two-stages survey questionnaires are employed and data analyzed using different statistical analysis. Our results indicate that power distance, uncertainty avoidance, and long-term orientations are the national cultural dimensions observed significantly under crisis situations. Further investigation and recommendations are discussed.Yayın Team composition and team performance: Achieving better results in an international higher education environment(Editura Niculescu, 2013-10-31) Scarlat, Cezar; Falcıoğlu, PınarIn line with former experiments, this stud), covers a period of four years (2008-2012) while teaching Project Management courses to international students at Mikkeli University of Applied Sciences, Finland - aiming to explore the possibility to apply the Belbin's theory on building successful small project teams in a multicultural higher education environment - in order to achieve better results - in terms of both satisfaction and performance.
