Article Consumers' Paradoxical Interpretations of Prestige and Luxury(Eskisehir Osmangazi Univ, Fac Education, 2010) Ati̇k, Deniz; Oflac, Bengu SevilIn relation to consumption, we observe puzzlement in the ways the terms prestige and luxury are interpreted both in scholarly discussions and in consumers' minds. Some use these terms interchangeably while others assign different meanings. Through our study, with a qualitative inquiry, we hope to shed light to this perplexity from consumers' perspectives. We first offer a framework about the confusion in consumers' minds related to their understanding of the notions of prestige and luxury, which can have different connotations. In addition to its material aspects, prestige may also be associated with moral values while luxury is often materialistic. Accordingly, the analysis shows these intangible, material, and interpersonal aspects of prestige. With the study, we hope to contribute to consumer behavior theories, at the same time highlighting both the limits and the success of materialism.Article Citation - WoS: 1The Effect of Self-Monitoring on Trust During the Knowledge Sharing Process in Interorganizational Relationships(Eskisehir Osmangazi Univ, Fac Education, 2012) Senyuva, Zuhal; Gonul, Ozlem Ogutveren; Öğütveren, Özlem GönülEach single network sustains in its own structure, an implicit accumulation of knowledge often referred to as social capital. Agents provide the sharing of knowledge between different networks by carrying one's implicit knowlegde to the other. In the existing literature, factors effecting the formation of trust are debated, excluding how agents exploit personal charactersitics such as self-monitoring, in the formation of trust in their relationships. Self-monitoring is defined as the ability to control the behaviors predicting oneself. As it is a personal characteristic contemplated to be effective in the creation of trustfullness perception by others, in this study we will examine the effect of self monitoring in the formation of trust during the process of implicit knowledge sharing.Article Citation - WoS: 3Benchmarking Service Quality Performance of Airlines in Turkey(Eskisehir Osmangazi Univ, Fac Education, 2013) Kazancoglu, Yigit; Kazancoglu, IpekThe aim of this study is to determine service quality factors of Turkish domestic airlines as well as ranking and benchmarking firms according to these factors using a fuzzy multicriteria decision making (MCDM) model. Exploratory factor analysis and fuzzy integral were used for extracting some independent common-factors and integrating the performance ratings of independent attributes in each common-factor, respectively. This paper is innovative in the sense that it helps airlines to identify key service quality factors, rank or benchmark firms in the industry through a fuzzy MCDM point of view, and provide an individual road map for improvement to each firm in a developing country, Turkey. This study is original in the sense that it helps firms compare their service quality criteria with competitors, identify performance insufficiencies by criteria, and choose the target competitors for improving the insufficiencies by identified and prioritized criteria through benchmarking.Article Citation - WoS: 1Quantifying Return and Volatility Spillovers Among Major Cryptocurrencies: a Var-Bekk Analysis(Eskisehir Osmangazi Univ, Fac Education, 2022-12-01) Vardar, Gülin; Tacoglu, Caner; Aydogan, BernaThis study investigates mean and volatility spillover effects among eight major cryptocurrencies; Bitcoin, Ethereum, Litecoin, Ripple, Stellar, Bitcoin Cash, Cardano and EOS utilizing VAR-BEKK-GARCH model. The results point out that there are bidirectional and unidirectional spillover effects among these major cryptocurrencies. Moreover, the findings indicate that some cryptocurrencies are the transmitter, while others act as a receiver and among all, Litecoin is the highest transmitter, and Stellar is the only one that acts as a receiver. The interdependence among cryptocurrencies supports that they are becoming more integrated and thereby, provides important investment strategies for investors and policy implications for regulators.
