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.

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 Do Depreciations Really Trigger an Inflow of Foreign Direct Investment? the Case of Turkey(Sosyoekonomi Soc, 2018) Erunlu, ZeynepIn this study, the relationship between real exchange rate and foreign direct investment is examined using the Logistic Smooth Transition - Autoregressive Distributed Lag (LST-ARDL) model. Analyzing the effect of real exchange rate changes on foreign direct investment is very crucial for a developing country like Turkey which has a relatively large foreign debt stock. The estimation results show that foreign direct investment inflows to Turkey increase when Turkish Lira appreciates against the US dollar and this effect is especially strong during periods of high investment inflows. Thus, for Turkey to attract productive capital flows rather than unstable short-term portfolio flows it has to maintain a strong currency against the US dollar.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.
