Article Industry 4.0 Readiness of Smes: Active Participants or Silent Audience of the Revolution(Sosyoekonomi Soc, 2023) Sener, Irge; Karapolatgil, Ahmet AnilNowadays, the technological consequences of the Fourth Industrial Revolution affect all organisations. However, the current reactions of SMEs have yet to be explored. For this reason, this study focused on the actual status of SMEs and aimed to determine their readiness and awareness of Industry 4.0 technologies. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with 44 SME managers operating in Ankara, constituting the study sample. Research findings were examined within the scope of 3 main themes determined by content analysis. In this context, it has been concluded that SMEs in the sample have low awareness of Industry 4.0, and their readiness needs to be improved.Article Industry 4.0 Readiness of SMEs: Active Participants or Silent Audience of the Revolution?(Sosyoekonomi Soc, 2023) Karapolatgil, Ahmet Anıl; Sener, IrgeGünümüzde Dördüncü Sanayi Devriminin teknolojik sonuçları tüm örgütleri etkilemektedir.

(The Bulletin of the Belgian Mathematical Society 2012). Then after, utilizing the concept of (E.A.) property in convex metric space, we obtained an alternative and correct version of this result. Finally, it is clarified that in the theory of common fixed point, the notion of (E.A.) property in the set up of convex metric space develops some new dimensions in comparison to the hypothesis that a range set of one map is contained in the range set of another map.Article Citation - Scopus: 4Modeling Heterogeneous Fleet Vehicle Allocation Problem With Emissions Considerations(Bentham Science Publishers, 2021) Kazanç, H.C.; Soysal, M.; Çimen, M.Aims: This study proposes a bi-objective linear integer programming model for heterogeneous fleet VAP with emissions considerations. Profit maximization and emissions minimization objectives are employed to handle economic and environmental sustainability purposes. Background: Our literature survey shows that there is no model for the heterogeneous fleet VAP with emissions considerations that simultaneously consider vehicle heterogeneity, penalty costs for unmet demands, and emissions from transportation operations. Objective: The model is employed to also make several scenario analyses on sustainable freight logistics management to understand the trade-offs among economic and environmental objectives. In freight transportation problems, decision-makers need to be able to maintain profitability and to reduce emissions. Methods: In this study, a bi-objective linear integer programming model is proposed for a heterogeneous fleet Vehicle Allocation Problem (VAP) with emissions considerations encountered in the field of sustainable freight transportation. Results: In the numerical analyses, various practical assumptions that can be confronted by decision-makers in real life are discussed. In each analysis, total profit and emissions amounts are revealed along with several other KPIs. The results of the analyses provided in this study could also be useful in terms of understanding the relations among pillars of sustainability in VAPs. Conclusion: It is thought that the proposed model has the potential to aid decision-making processes in sustainable logistics management. In the base case analyses, the total profit obtained under profit maximization is about nine times higher than that obtained under emissions minimization. When the aim is to minimize emissions, the total emissions are found to be nearly one-tenth of that of profit maximization. Supported by also additional scenario analyses, it can be concluded that it might not economically viable to be environmentally-friendly for companies. Therefore, companies have to be encouraged or forced to take environmentally and socially responsible actions through legislation. The analyses demonstrated that various legislative policies on emissions may affect the transportation plans differently in such vehicle allocation systems. © 2021 Kazanç et al.Article Investigating the Predictors of Virtual Learning Success and Satisfaction of Secondary School Students During Covid-19 Pandemic Restrictions(T.C. Milli Egitim Bakanligi, 2020) Şener, İ.; Doyduk, H.B.; Türkyilmaz, G.; Karabay, M.E.; Hande,Covid-19 pandemic, which continues to affect all areas of life, also has significant effects on education. Due to the restrictions applied during the pandemic period, students had to continue their spring term education through distance education tools. It is important to understand the factors affecting students’ satisfaction towards learning and their perceived success, in order to make virtual learning more effective which is expected to continue after the pandemic. In this sense, a survey study was conducted among 180 students studying at two secondary schools on the Anatolian side of Istanbul. Research findings revealed that the effects of virtual course flexibility and perceived usefulness on both virtual learning satisfaction and perceived success were found positive and significant, where the effect of perceived usefulness was found to be highest. Besides, the findings revealed that technology quality positively affected the perceived success, whereas student’s computer anxiety negatively affected their learning satisfaction. © 2020.

Despite that extensive research was conducted, the understanding of the board and its effects is still limited. This is mainly because that the majority of the corporate governance research focused mostly on the direct relation of board characteristics with organizational outcomes, and neglected the effect of intervening variables, leading to inconclusive research findings. Deriving on this limitation, in this study, the effect of board composition on organizational performance was investigated for different environmental conditions, which are measured in terms of munificence and dynamism of the industry in which the organizations operate and product complexity of the organizations. In addition, the moderating effects of these dimensions of organizational task environments on the relationship between board composition and organizational performance were also addressed. Building on resource dependence theory, it is suggested that under different environmental conditions, different compositions of boards will positively influence organizational performance. Based on the data from 80 companies which shares are publicly traded in Istanbul Stock Exchange, the findings indicate that the effect of board composition on organizational performance vary among different environmental conditions.
