    Service Modularity in E-Learning Programs: an Analysis From the Perceived Usefulness Perspective
    (Emerald Group Publishing Ltd, 2022) Sorkun, Metehan Feridun; Yurt, Oznur; Hsuan, Juliana
    Purpose This study investigates the effects of service modularity on the perceived usefulness (PU) of e-learning programs through the perceived ease of use (PEoU) and service customization. Design/methodology/approach Structural equation modeling was used to test four hypotheses with survey data from 517 undergraduates in Turkey. Findings Results show that service modularity affects the PU of e-learning programs through the PEoU. Service customization negatively moderates the effect of service modularity on the PEoU, but positively moderates the effect of the PEoU on the PU of e-learning programs. Practical implications This study offers insights that support the decisions of policymakers and higher education institutions on how to design appealing e-learning programs cost-effectively. Social implications This study reveals the determinants of the PU of e-learning, which could support the democratization of access to higher education in emerging countries where barriers to higher education are relatively greater than in developed countries. Originality/value The concept of service modularity is explored in the e-learning context from the students' perspective. This study shows that the standardized interfaces across course modules increase the PU of e-learning programs by improving the ease of use. It also shows, interestingly, that service customization, enabled by modularity, is not always appreciated by service consumers, because of the potential extra effort demanded in communicating their unique needs to service providers.

    Migrants as Dissonant Harmony-Seekers and Migrant Life in Foam
    (Emerald Group Publishing Ltd, 2023) Kars-Unluoglu, Selen; Cangarli, Burcu Guneri; Yurt, Oznur; Gencer, Mehmet
    Purpose Migration of the Turkish new middle-class - high-skilled, well-educated, young professionals - has been growing in recent years. This paper explores their migration experience and discusses the role of physical and virtual bubbles in the formation of transnational communities and processes of adjustment to a new place. Design/methodology/approach This paper is based on a qualitative inquiry collecting data via semi-structured interviews with 18 London-based Turkish migrants and a digital ethnographic study of three Facebook groups that bring together the Turkish migrant community in Richmond, London. Findings Findings indicate that the migration of the new middle class differs conceptually from existing typologies. The paper proposes the concept of dissonant harmony-seekers and elaborates on their interactions to demonstrate that, in the Internet age, the traditional image of migrants living in isolated localised bubbles is no longer accurate. Findings also indicate a pragmatic and functional engagement with the bubbles, with migrants sporadically interacting with the bubbles to meet their individual needs in information, education and employment. Originality/value This paper contributes to the literature with the concept of dissonant harmony-seekers, which will gain more visibility in a world where the trend of democratic decline and rising authoritarianism will motivate a migratory move for people who confront a moral dissociation from the civil order in their homeland. The engagement of dissonant harmony-seekers with migrant communities challenges the conventional thinking that social identity is central to creating and maintaining bubbles. The other contribution of the paper to the literature is the metaphor of foam to capture the ephemeral and fugacious nature of the dynamics of migrant communities and practices.

    A New Framework for Supply Chain Risk Management Through Supply Chain Management Capability
    (2015) Göçer, Aysu; Yurt, Öznur; Hüseyinoğlu, Işık Özge Yumurtacı; Baltacıoğlu, Tunçdan
    Tedarik zinciri risk yönetimi, firmalar için en kuvvetli rekabetçilik araçlarından biri olarak değerlendirilmektedir. Dolayısıyla bu konu, özellikle son yıllarda araştırmacıların ilgisini çekmeye başlamıştır. Ancak literatürde, tedarik zinciri risk yönetimi, tedarik zinciri üyelerinin olgunluk seviyeleri ve yeterlilikleri göz önünde bulundurularaktan incelenmemiştir. Bu çalışma, tedarik zinciri risk yönetiminin farklı tedarik zinciri yönelimlerine göre değerlendirildiği yeni bir çerçeve geliştirmeyi ve böylece literatürede belirtilen açığa katkı sağlamayı hedeflemektedir. Çalışmada önerilen çerçeve "Tedarik Zinciri Yönetimi Yeterlilik Modeli" olarak isimlendirilmiştir. Bu model, firmaların farklı tedarik zinciri yönelimlerine göre beklenen tedarik zinciri risk yönetimi yeterliliklerini göstermek ve tanımlamak amacıyla yapılan ilk girişimdir. Bu model artan yönelim seviyeleri ile gelişen tedarik zinciri yapılarını göstermekle beraber şirketler arası pazarlama ve ilişkisel pazarlama amaçlarına da hizmet etmektedir. Ayrıca çalışmanın temel bulguları, tedarik zinciri yeterlilik seviyelerinin sürdürülebilirlik boyutunda da farklılık gösterebileceğini belirtmektedir. Bu çalışmanın sonuçları, uygulamacılara yön verecek ve araştırmacıları yeni çalışmalara teşvik edecek bulgular sağlamaktadır.

    An Analysis of Information and Communication Systems Selection for Freight Forwarders
    (İzmir Ekonomi Üniversitesi, 2012) Yiğittekin, Ahu; Yurt, Öznur
    Bu çalışmanın amacı, Türkiye'deki nakliye müteahhitlerinin, bilgi ve iletişim sistemleri seçim sürecini inceleyerek, bu sistemlerin kullanımı hakkında yönetimsel bir yaklaşım geliştirmektir.Nakliye müteahhitlerinin temel görevi, müşterilerinin ihtiyaç ve taleplerini de göz önünde bulundurarak, en uygun ve en etkin taşıma şeklini belirleyerek kapıdan kapıya taşımaları organize etmek ve böylece müşterinin ihtiyacına çözüm olabilmektir. Buradaki önemli nokta, nakliye müteahhitlerinin tedarikçisi durumundaki hizmet sağlayıcılarının da aynı müşterilere hizmet verebilecek olmasıdır. Bu durumda nakliye müteahhitlerinin tek farkı yükleri toplamak ve organize etmek değil, aynı zamanda etkin bilgi ve iletişim sistemlerini kullanarak müşterilerinin hizmetlerini desteklemek ve karar süreçlerini bu sistemleri kullanarak geliştirmektir.Bilgi ve iletişim sistemleri, nakliye müteahhitlerinin gelecekte ayakta kalmalarını sağlayacak önemli etkenlerden biridir. Bu çalışmada öncelikle, lojistik sektöründeki yetkililer ile firmaların bilgi ve iletişim sistemleri ile ilgili yorumlarını almak ve yaptıkları yatırımlara bakış açılarını anlamak için soru formları hazırlanmıştır. Bu soru formlarından elde edilen veriler analiz edilerek, nakliye müteahhitlerinin bilgi ve iletişim sistemleri seçimi üzerine öneriler geliştirilmiştir. Bu öneriler daha sonra odak grup yöntemi kullanılarak doğrulanmaya çalışılmıştır.Literatürde bilgi ve iletişim sistemleri üzerine birçok çalışma mevcuttur. Bu çalışmalar; yatırımın başarısını destekleyici faktörleri, başarısızlık nedenleri ve başarılı bir yatırım için gerekli faktörler gibi konuları temel almıştır. Mevcut literatüre katkı olarak bu çalışmanın amacı; nakliye müteahhitleri açısından bilgi iletişim ve sistemlerine yatırım karar sürecine yönelik yönetimsel bir yaklaşım geliştirmektir.

    The Causes of Food Waste in the Supplier-Retailer Interface: Evidences From the Uk and Spain
    (Elsevier, 2011) Mena, Carlos; Adenso-Diaz, B.; Yurt, Oznur
    Food and drink waste is a significant problem for economic, environmental and food security reasons. Government efforts have focused on diverting waste away from landfill through regulation, taxation and public awareness. However, efforts to understand why waste occurs have been limited, particularly in the interface between retailers and suppliers. This research aims to address this problem by identifying the main root causes of waste in the supplier-retailer interface. The research is exploratory in nature as there is a paucity of studies focusing on food waste across the supply chain. Data were collected through 43 interviews with managers in food manufacturing, wholesaling and retailing in two countries: the UK (24) and Spain (19). Data from the interviews and supplementary documentation were analyzed using causal maps. This approach helped to identify the main root causes of waste which were categorized into three groups: (1) mega-trends in the marketplace, (2) natural causes related to the products and processes, and (3) management root causes on which practitioners have a direct impact. The paper discusses the root causes of food waste and good practices identified from the interviews. Differences between the UK and Spain are discussed, presenting potential learning opportunities for practitioners in these countries and highlighting opportunities for further research.

    A New Framework for Service Supply Chains
    (Routledge Journals, Taylor & Francis Ltd, 2007) Baltacioglu, Tuncdan; Ada, Erhan; Demirbağ Kaplan, Melike; Yurt, Oznur; Kaplan, Y. Cem
    Despite the extensive amount of academic work devoted to supply chain management, today the structure of service supply chains still remains unexplored. The aim of this paper is to verify and explain this gap with regard to the unique nature of the services industry and the applicability of existing supply chain management literature to service businesses. This paper develops a new model for service supply chains and applies it to the healthcare industry. The results of this study are relevant both to practitioners in the services industry and to researchers conducting further studies in the field.

    Green Supply Chains: Efforts and Potential Applications for the Turkish Market
    (Elsevier, 2012) Andic, Esen; Yurt, Oznur; Baltacioglu, Tuncdan
    This study aims to explore the suitability and significance of waste management as the first step to creating green supply chains in general, and as an extension of this exploration we address the following research questions: (1) What should be the starting point both for individual companies and supply chains for becoming green? Can it be waste management? (2) What is the level of environmental consciousness of firms and how is it possible to assess the potential level of participation if a waste management system was to be implemented in their supply chains? (3) Which sector would be the most appropriate for implementing a green policy in terms of attracting the attention of other sectors and customers simultaneously? (4) What are the dynamics of interdependency and interaction within the upstream and downstream partners in the chain in terms of green consciousness? In discussing green issues, the importance of the mentioned attracting attention underlies the importance of consciousness. Addressing this issue requires a general understanding of the current situation in the Turkish market in the first place, and then to extending this understanding to be able to evaluate more effectively the potential of waste management to help companies and consumers gain consciousness at the same time. Based on the literature and personal experience, it was decided to select the electrical and electronic equipment (EEE) sector for research. The focus group method was selected to collect opinions of managers from the EEE sector in Izmir. The focus group study was implemented in two sessions. Results showed that the waste management implementation could provide a good starting point for introducing green supply chains, and that the EEE sector could serve as a model for other sectors and consumers, as this sector's products directly affect electricity consumption. Also, we propose a conceptual model regarding dynamics of interdependency and interaction within the upstream and downstream partners in the chain in terms of green consciousness. The key contribution of this study is an analysis of the dynamics between upstream and downstream members in the supply chain, in terms of adopting a more environmentally aware attitude. The analysis of these dynamics is visualized with a proposed conceptual model. (C) 2011 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

    Global Supply Chains Risks and Covid-19: Supply Chain Structure as a Mitigating Strategy for Small and Medium-Sized Enterprises
    (Elsevier Science Inc, 2023) Cagri Gurbuz, Mustafa; Yurt, Oznur; Ozdemir, Sena; Sena, Vania; Yu, Wantao
    After the COVID-19 pandemic, more research is needed to understand how the impacts of global events differ among alternative network structures in the presence of supply chain risks, and how relevant these potential risk mitigation strategies are for Small and Medium Enterprises(SMEs). Thus, our main motivation is to show how SMEs can configure their supply chains, and cost-effectively mitigate the risk created by major disruptions. We combined a case study with a simulation model. The results suggest the greater usefulness of certain network configuration strategies (e.g., collaboration, multi-sourcing) compared to others during catastrophic events. Our results indicate that SMEs can avoid suffering more harm than larger competitors by adopting strategies consisting of an adequate mix of proactive and reactive elements, and that an effective proactive strategy involves building flexibility by increasing the number of geographically spread supply chain partners, allowing for deeper discounts to preserve demand without hurting profits.

    Bu çalışmanın amacı, atık yönetiminin, tedarik zincirlerinin çevreci hale getirilmesi (yeşil tedarik zincirleri) için ilk adım olmak için uygunluğunu ve önemini araştırmaktır. Bunu yaparken de bir yandan şu araştırma sorusuna cevap aramaktır: Çevrecilik öncelikle hangi sektör tarafından benimsenirse hem son tüketicilerin hem de diğer sektörlerin dikkati bu yöne çekilebilir? Burada bahsi geçen dikkat çekmenin önemi, çevrecilik konusundaki bilincin önemiyle vurgulanmaktadır. Bu sorunun cevaplanması, öncelikle Türk pazarının mevcut durumunun anlaşılmasını ve daha sonra da bu anlayışın atık yönetiminin firmaları ve tüketicileri bilinçlendirmesi yolundaki potansiyelinin değerlendirilmesini gerektirmektedir. Literatüre ve kişisel tecrübelere göre, elektrikli ve elektronik cihazlar, sektör olarak seçilmiştir. Bu sektörde faaliyet gösteren İzmirli üretici firmalarının tepe yöneticilerinden fikir almak amacıyla odak grup çalışması metodu benimsenmiştir. Odak grup çalışması, iki grup şeklinde gerçekleştirilmiştir. Araştırma sonucunda, atık yönetiminin yeşil tedarik zincirleri yaratılması için uygun bir başlangıç noktası olduğu ve elektrikli ve elektronik cihazlar sektörünün de bu amaç için uygunluğu ortaya çıkmıştır.
