E-dönüşen kurumların olgunluk seviyelerinin belirlenmesi.
No full textWith the opportunities to expand from a local to a global market, organizations need to change with the development of information systems and communication technologies. The electronically transforming organizations' success depends not only to hardware/software usage but also transformation in the well-defined business processes. Successful transformation from "organization" to "e-organization" by innovative processes requires strategic and cultural changes as a result of changes in the leadership. In this thesis, a maturity model for the organizations to achieve to paperless office level will be constructed. Meanwhile, factors which are essential to reach that level are to be identified.M.S. - Master of Scienc
An Organization Improvement Model for Small and Medium Sized Enterprises (smemm)
Get PDFKüçük ve Orta Bütçeli İşletmeler'in (KOBİler) gelişmesi ve iyileşmesi ülke ekonomisine katkı sağlar. Ancak, KOBİ'ler işletmelerinin iyileşmesi için iş uygulamalarında süreklilik sağlamakta zorlanabilirler. İyileşme karmaşık bir olgudur; örgütsel etmenlerin mevcut durumunun değerlendirilmesi gerekir, bununla birlikte etmenlerin ağırlığı işletme geliştikçe değişecektir. KOBİlerin süreç ve kaynaklarındaki eksikliklerden dolayı KOBİler değerlendirme sırasında zorluklarla karşılaşabilirler.Bu çalışmada, İmalat sektöründe faaliyet gösteren Türk KOBİ'lerinin süreçlerinin iyileşmesi için temel adımları içeren yeni bir model önerilmiştir. Bu iyileştirme adımları süreçlerin tanımlı, yönetilebilir ve ölçülebilir olmasını hedefler. Model, mevcut süreçlerin değerlendirilmesinde referans noktası oluşturur ve iş uygulamalarının önceliklendirilmesinde rehberlik eder. Önerilen yeni modelde çerçeve olarak süreç yönetimini ve kalite iyileştirme kavramlarını içeren Yeterlilik Olgunluk Modeli (CMM) kullanılmıştır.Yeni model ampirik olarak test edilmiş ve modelin Türk İmalat Sanayi KOBİlerinin yapısına ve özelliklerine uyması için gerekli düzeltmeler yapılmıştır. Model, her seviyede tamamlanmış ve eksik aktivitelerin belirlenmesi için bir araç olarak ve işletmenin gelecekteki gereksinimlerini belirlemek için bir yol haritası olarak kullanılabilir.Small and Medium Sized Enterprises? (SMEs) development and improvement have impact on national economies. However, SMEs may have difficulty in providing sustainable business practices for organizational improvement. Improvement is a complex phenomenon; it needs assessment of current situation of organizational factors whereas weight of the factors change as organizations develops. Besides, SMEs may have deficiencies in assessment due to shortcomings in processes and resources.In this study, a new model which considers organizational development as a sequence of activities is proposed for the process improvement of Turkish Manufacturing SMEs. These improvement activity series aimed at having defined, manageable and measurable organizational processes. The model provides a reference point that evaluates current processes and a guideline that aligns prerequisite practices. The Capability Maturity Model (CMM) framework which consists of process management and quality improvement concepts is used for this new model.The new model is empirically tested and necessary modifications are carried out to fit the model to the structure and characteristics of Turkish manufacturing SMEs. The model can be used as a tool to identify the complete and missing activities at each level and as a roadmap for future requirements of the organization
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Get PDFThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
Variations on the Author
Get PDF“Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship
Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis
Get PDFWe provide a number of new insights into the methodological discussion about author cocitation analysis. We first argue that the use of the Pearson correlation for measuring the similarity between authors’ cocitation profiles is not very satisfactory. We then discuss what kind of similarity measures may be used as an alternative to the Pearson correlation. We consider three similarity measures in particular. One is the well-known cosine. The other two similarity measures have not been used before in the bibliometric literature. Finally, we show by means of an example that our findings have a high practical relevance.information science;Pearson correlation;cosine;similarity measure;author cocitation analysis
Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
Get PDFWe conducted a full-scale evaluative citation analysis study of scholars in the XML research field to explore just how different from each other author rankings resulting from different citation counting methods actually are, and to demonstrate the capability of emerging data and tools on the Web in supporting more realistic citation counting methods. Our results contest some common arguments for the continued
use of first-author citation counts in the evaluation of scholars, such as high correlations between author rankings by first-author citation counts and other citation
counting methods, and high costs of using more realistic citation counting methods that are not well-supported by the ISI databases. It is argued that increasingly available digital full text research papers make it possible for citation analysis studies to go beyond what the ISI databases have directly supported and to employ more
sophisticated methods
koamabayili/VECTRON-author-checklist: VECTRON author checklist
No full textWe have done our best to complete the author checklist relating to the use of animals in the hut study. Note that the objective for the hut study was to evaluate the IRS treatment applications for residual efficacy against Anopheles mosquitoes, including the local An. coluzzii mosquito population. Cows were only used to attract mosquitoes into the huts and no tests were carried out directly on the cows. The author checklist is intended for use with studies where experiments are carried out on animals, which is why we have had such difficulty in completing this for the hut study, as many of the questions do not relate to how the cows were used
