(2021) Sakarya, Arif Orçun; 19342
Günümüzde bilgi yönetimi işletmelerin rekabet güçlerinin artırılması yönünde odaklanılan konulardan biridir. Özellikle dinamik çevre ile etkileşim sırasında bilginin şekillenmesi noktasında, bilginin dönüşümü ve kullanılma amacı da işletme performansına etki edebilecek olgular olarak ortaya çıkmaktadır. Buna bağlı olarak, çalışmanın amacı, mikro ölçekli işletmelerde sarmal bazlı bilgi yönetimi ve yaratılması için uygun şartların oluşup oluşmadığının ölçülmesidir. İlgili literatür ve bilgi yönetimine farklı yaklaşımların incelenmesini takiben, çalışmanın araştırma bölümünde ise bir üniversitenin kuluçka merkezi bünyesinde bulunan ve bilgi yoğun ürün veya hizmet üreten mikro ölçekli işletmelerin ile yapılan görüşmelerin sonuçları tartışılmıştır. Buna göre, işletmenin dahilinde bilginin yaratılması için gerekli şartları büyük ölçüde sağladıkları sonucuna ulaşılmıştır. Bu bağlamda özellikle ortak karar alma mekanizması, proje bazlı çalışma, inovasyon, birden fazla işte yetkinleşme ve bilgiye erişim olgularının ön plana çıktığı görülmüştür. Bunlara ek olarak da özellikle bilginin dönüştürülmesi çerçevesinde piyasa odaklı yaklaşımların da şirketlerin gündeminde olduğu gözlemlenmiştir.

Examination of Innovation Sources and Cooperation Alternatives for Turkish Firms
(2014) Sakarya, Arif Orçun; 19342
Within organizations, the management of innovation can require the consideration of different patterns of financial issues, human resource skills and cooperation activities with outside stakeholders. The main goal of this study is to identify potential innovation alternatives in order to reach the target of increasing the number of innovative firms in Turkey. To do this, different innovation criteria were examined by evaluating the results of the 2010 Community Innovation Survey Results of Turkish Firms as an indicator. The Analytic Hierarchy Process method was applied to investigate these priorities. Following the introduction and an outline of the rationale behind criteria selection, the analysis section focuses upon two levels of criteria. The first level includes the knowledge sources of innovation, cooperation among the stakeholders, required skills and capabilities, funding sources and lastly monetary allocations. A number of different knowledge sources and factors related to the firm’s networking capabilities were reinvestigated at the second “sub-criteria” level. It was deduced that to reach the goal of improving innovative capability in general terms, firms might concentrate on non-technical innovation activities as the first priority, and then; product and process innovation activities. Additional research guidelines and future strategy measures are also provided in the study.

Student participation in Bologna Process: a case study from Turkey
(FAC Teacher Education, 2012) Kahraman, Z. Ezgi; Sakarya, A. Orçun; 50343; 19342
Bologna Process studies in Çankaya University’s Interior Architecture Department (INAR), Turkey have been initiated in 2008. The goal of this study is to explore students’ perceptions about the new programme outcomes framed with the Turkish Higher Education Qualifications Framework and to provide a set of guidelines for the Bologna Process to be implemented. A questionnaire including semi-structured questions is conducted in the data collection process. Content analysis method is used in order to examine students’ perceptual outcomes. The findings of the study display that students’ perceptions underline the importance of the acquisition of knowledge, skills and competences in social, economic and managerial dimensions of the professional life. Results also reveal the need of students for the acquisition and use of communicative, collaborative and interdisciplinary aspects of the profession and their expectations on both theoretical and practical contents of INAR courses. Furthermore, this study which mainly followed a student-cantered approach concluded that it is also possible to generalize new programme outcomes through the active participation of students.
Variables affecting innovation-related competitiveness in Turkey
(Springer, 2009) Sakarya, Orçun; 19342
Innovation's relation with competitiveness can be considered as a part of its emerging importance for the global economy. Accordingly, the main goal of this quantitative study is to foresee the main "macro" variables affecting Turkey's innovation-related competitive performance in the long run by considering innovation concept, both in the global and European Union basis. Following the introductory part and literature review, the relationship between innovation and competitiveness has been emphasized in Section 5.3. In Section 5.4, European Union Innovation Scoreboard has been mentioned. In Section 5.5 and the final section of the chapter, innovation concept has been discussed as an extension to Summary of Innovation Index and factors affecting innovation-related competitiveness in Turkey have been examined. First, a brief exploratory factor analysis has been conducted to identify the relevance of selected variables. Then, for investigating factors affecting medium and long-run innovation-related competitiveness in the country, a VAR model has been utilized. Granger's causality test has also been used to detect the cause-effect relationships between variables. As a result, it has been deduced that basic variables affecting innovation-related competitiveness are the number of patent applications and per capita R&D expenses. Moreover, it is also concluded that the Gross Domestic Product may also be relatively important in the long run.
