Yayın Does technology management research diverge or converge in developing and developed countries?(Elsevier Science BV, 2009-01) Çetindamar, Dilek; Wasti, Syeda Nazli; Ansal, Hacer; Beyhan, BernaThe main purpose of this paper is to understand whether the research of developing and developed countries in the technology management (TM) field converge or diverge in terms of topics, approaches, research focus, and methods. International trends are explored based on the comparison of developed and developing countries' academia, conducted through a content analysis of the main TM journals over the period of 1995-2005. The analysis of a random sample of 325 articles indicates a clear differentiation of major topics studied by developing and developed country academics. The paper ends with a call for future studies to focus more on the particularities of developing countries in order to enrich the TM literature by increasing our understanding of TM theory and its applications in developing countries.Yayın Anti-tobacco control industry strategies in Turkey(BioMed Central Ltd, 2018-02-26) Keklik, Seda; Gültekin Karakas, DeryaBackground: Transnational tobacco companies (TTCs) penetrated the Turkish cigarette market due to trade and investment liberalization in the post-1980 period and eventually secured full control. Despite tobacco control policies put in place in reaction to accelerating consumption, TTCs reinforced their market power through a variety of strategies. This paper explores industry strategies that counteract tobacco control policies in Turkey. Methods: The study employs both qualitative and quantitative analyses to explore industry strategies in Turkey. Besides the content analyses of industry and market reports, descriptive analyses were conducted for the sub-periods of 1999-2015. The analyses focus on the market strategies of product innovation, advertisement-promotion, cost management and pricing. Results: Rising sales of low tar, ultra-low tar, slim, super-slim and flavoured cigarettes indicate that product innovation served to sustain consumption. Besides, the tobacco industry, using its strong distribution channels, the Internet, and CSR projects, were found to have promoted smoking indirectly. The industry also rationalized manufacturing facilities and reduced the cost of tobacco, making Turkey a cigarette-manufacturing base. Tobacco manufacturers, moreover, offered cigarettes in different price segments and adjusted net prices both up and down according to price categories and market conditions. In response to the successful effect of shifts in price margins, the market share of mid-priced cigarettes expanded while those within the economy category maintained the highest market share. As a result of pricing strategies, net sales revenues increased. Aside from official cigarette sales, the upward trends in the registered and unregistered sales of cigarette substitutes indicate that the demand-side tobacco control efforts remain inadequate. Conclusions: The Turkish case reveals that the resilience of the tobacco industry vis-a-vis mainstream tobacco control efforts necessitates a new policy perspective. Rising market concentration by TTCs and the global nature of industry strategies require that the highly profitable manufacturing and trade of tobacco products should be discouraged on a basis of international collaboration. To reduce and eventually eradicate tobacco consumption, supply-side tobacco control measures are needed along with demand-side policies.Yayın Mixed-method validation of pedagogical concepts for an intercultural online learning environment: a case study(Assoc Computing Machinery, 2007) Law, Effie Lai-Chong; Nguyen-Ngoc, Anh Vu; Kuru, SelahattinThe rise of social software poses the challenges to the design and evaluation of a pedagogically sound online learning environment (OLE). Our OLE addresses these challenges by the integration of three pedagogical concepts - cross-cultural collaboration, self-directed learning and social networking - with the aim to advance participants' competencies and by mixed-method approaches to evaluating the complex situations. A validation trial involving four European countries was conducted. Groups of students co-created a questionnaire, which was assessed to provide an indicator of task performance. Multi-source (surveys, blogs, emails, diaries, chats, videoconference, and interviews) and multi-perspective data (facilitators, students, researchers) were studied with social network analysis, content analysis and conversation analysis. Several a posteriori research questions are addressed.Yayın Türk basınında Suriyeli sığınmacı temsili üzerine bir içerik analizi(Marmara Univ, 2015) Pandır, Müzeyyen; Efe, İbrahim; Paksoy, Alaaddin FarukBu çalışmada Türk basınında Suriyeli sığınmacı temsilleri incelenmektedir. Örneklem için, en yüksek tiraja sahip ilk beş gazetede (“Hürriyet”, “Sabah”, “Posta”, “Sözcü”, “Zaman”) 2014 yılında yayımlanan ilgili tüm haberler, köşe yazıları ve görseller seçilmiştir. Mevcut çalışma, Suriyeli sığınmacıların Türk basınında 2011-2015 yılları arasındaki temsillerini inceleyen (TÜBİTAK destekli) daha geniş çaplı bir araştırma projesinin bir kısmını oluşturmaktadır. Mevcut literatürde sıkça ihmal edilen ya da ayrı bir inceleme alanı olarak ele alınan haber görselleri, bu çalışmada haber metinleri ve köşe yazılarıyla beraber incelenmektedir. Araştırma sonuçlarında görülmüştür ki, Türk gazetelerinde Suriyeli sığınmacılarla ilgili haber ve görsellerin içerikleri çoğunlukla olumlu ya da yansız özelliklere sahiptir. Temsil özelliklerine odaklandığımızda ise temsillerde bir ikilem olduğu görülmektedir. Temsiller Suriyeli sığınmacıyı zorlu koşullar içinde “yoksul” ve “yardıma muhtaç” olarak gösterirken, aynı sıklıkta toplum güvenliği için bir “tehdit” olarak da göstermektedir. Sıkça tekrarlanan bu temsiller ve ikilem göstermektedir ki Türk basınının Suriyeli sığınmacı temsili, uluslararası çalışmalarda tanımlanan stereotipik sığınmacı temsillerini yeniden üretmektedir.Yayın Covering Syrian asylum seekers in the Turkish press(İstanbul Üniversitesi, 2016) Efe, İbrahim; Paksoy, Alaaddin F.; Pandır, MüzeyyenThe war in Syria has not lost its intenseness since 2011. The situation is afecting the region and world politics. Inevitably, Syrian asylum seekers became a crucial topic of Turkish media and political agendas in recent years.
