Using collaborative research methodologies in humanitarian supply chains
No full textPurpose: The purpose of this paper is to develop an existing collaborative research methodology process (Sabri, 2018), contextualise it for application in humanitarian supply chains and test it empirically. Design/methodology/approach: Building on collaborative research methodology and humanitarian supply chain literature, the Sabri’s (2018) collaborative research methodology process is further developed to comprise eight phases of collaborative research contextualised for the humanitarian supply chain domain. The process is applied in a collaborative research case of academia–practitioner knowledge co-creation in a humanitarian supply chain setting, focussing on environmental sustainability improvement. The collaborative case analysis suggests a number of refinements to the elements of the process. This study undertook two cycles of academia–practitioner collaborative research. Findings: In testing the process, a noticeable improvement in the collaboration among different humanitarian stakeholders was observed, leading to improved stakeholder management. The implementation improved the sustainability awareness and social inclusion of the affected population. Rurality, remoteness, security issues and resistance of field staff against change were among the main challenges for supply chain researchers to engage in collaborative research in the humanitarian domain. Originality/value: The paper addresses the rigour‒relevance‒reflectiveness debate in the humanitarian supply chain domain. A collaborative research methodology process derived from action research is further developed using humanitarian literature, and then it is applied in a humanitarian logistics case focussed on environmental sustainability. The present collaborative research process facilitates engaged scholarship among the humanitarian stakeholders, as the researchers’ roles move from observatory to participatory knowledge broker

Supply Chain Digital Innovation in Complex Capital Projects
No full textThe present research investigates why and how organizations are adopting digital transformation in their operations and supply chains. Following a systematic review of the literature, a novel conceptual model is developed to help the management of the transition in organizations that run complex capital projects. The conceptual model is examined and afterwards will be refined based on practitioners' feedback. The refined model is a result of crosschecking the views of senior executives in both early adopters of digitalization as well as the lagging project-based organizations. This paper is mainly reporting on the first phase of the research-that is, developing a preliminary conceptual model
Supplier selection and supply chain configuration in the projects environment
No full textSuppliers in the Engineering-Procurement-Construction (EPC) projects environment are often qualified based on their annual turnover, and as a result a relatively large number of small suppliers get excluded at a preliminary stage from the approved vendors’ list of EPC contractors. To facilitate an inclusive evaluation of a wide range of capabilities of the suppliers, this research examines the application of a broader perspective for supplier selection in the projects environment. Supply chain configuration is put forward as a capability, the development of which contributes to the improvement of the supply network, and so should be reflected in the supplier selection criteria in projects’ environment. This research offers guidelines for EPC contractors which wish to adopt an all-encompassing approach in supplier selection, and guides suppliers and supply chain researchers to consider the supply chain (re-)configuration as a proactive plan for the survival of suppliers which operate in global high-uncertainty environments

Zihniyet araştırmaları bağlamında Sabri Ülgener'in araştırma yöntemi ve klasik kaynaklarının kritiği
No full textSabri Ülgener‘in İktisadi Çözülmenin Ahlak ve Zihniyet Dünyası adlı eseri, dahaönce Max Weber ve Werner Sombart‘ın Avrupa merkezli olarak kapitalizm bağlamındayaptıkları zihniyet araştırmalarında ortaya koydukları yöntemlerin Ortaçağ Osmanlıiktisat zihniyeti sahasındaki ilk uygulamasıdır. Ülgener, araştırmasında Osmanlızihniyetini belirlemede çeşitli Türk-İslam kaynaklarından yararlanmıştır. Bu çalışmada―klasik kaynaklar‖ olarak nitelendirilen bu kaynaklar; dini ve tasavvufi eserler, ahlâkeserleri, seyahatnameler, Osmanlı kronikleri, fütüvvetnameler başlıkları altında tasnifedilebilecek olan çok çeşitli eserlerden oluşmaktadır. Öte yandan 1990‘lı yıllarınsonlarından itibaren ortaya çıkmış olan ve Ülgener literatürü olarak adlandırılabilecekolan yazın, daha çok yazarın Osmanlı iktisat zihniyetine ilişkin bulgu ve tespitlerineodaklanmaktadır. Bu literatürde, Sabri Ülgener‘in yararlandığı klasik kaynaklara ilişkinkritik ve değerlendirmelerin eksikliği göze çarpmaktadır. Bu çalışmada, İktisadiÇözülmenin Ahlak ve Zihniyet Dünyası eksene alınarak, Sabri Ülgener‘in Osmanlıiktisat zihniyetini belirleme çalışmalarına dayanak oluşturan klasik Türk-İslamkaynaklarının değerlendirilmesi amaçlanmaktadır. Çalışmada, İktisadi ÇözülmeninAhlak ve Zihniyet Dünyası‘nın klasik kaynakları tespit edilerek bunlara yapılan atıflarbelirlenmekte, buradan hareketle yazarın bu kaynakları değerlendirme tarzı ortayakonmaya çalışılmaktadır.With his work titled İktisadi Çözülmenin Ahlak ve Zihniyet Dünyası [The Moraland Mental World of Economic Dissolution], Sabri Ülgener was the first to apply to themedieval Ottoman economic mentality the methods used by Max Weber and WernerSombart in mentality studies within the context of European capitalism. In his study,Ülgener drew upon a variety of Turco-Islamic resources in order to identify theOttoman mentality. Termed as ―classical resources‖ as part of this study, theseresources include various categories of resources that could be classified as religioussufiworks, moral treatises, traveler‘s accounts, Ottoman chronicles, and fütüvvetnames.On the other hand, the literature on Ülgener that appeared in the late 1990s mainlyfocuses on the author's findings and conclusions about the Ottoman economic mentality,and conspicuously lacks any critique and evaluation of his classical resources. Byfocusing on Ülgener‘s book, İktisadi Çözülmenin Ahlak ve Zihniyet Dünyası, the presentstudy aims to assess the classical Turco-Islamic resources that serve as a basis for hisefforts to identify the Ottoman economic mentality. To this end, it identifies theclassical resources of İktisadi Çözülmenin Ahlak ve Zihniyet Dünyası together with itsreferences to these resources, and analyzes how the author treated them
SABRİ YUSUF'UN HAYATI, EDEBÎ KİŞİLİĞİ VE ROMANLARI
No full textÖzetBu makalede edip, şair ve ressam olan Suriyeli Sabri Yusuf?un hayatı, edebi kişiliği ve eserleri ele alınmıştır. Birçok sanatçı ve düşünür gibi Sabri Yusuf da düşünce özgürlüğü uğruna gönülden bağlı olduğu vatanı Suriye?yi ve bütün sevdiklerini geride bırakarak yıllardan beri yüreği gurbet ve özlem acısıyla kavrularak yaşamaktadır. Okuduğu birçok edebiyatçı, düşünür, sosyolog ve felsefeciden etkilense de onun asıl ilham kaynağı, kendi iç dünyasından aldığı sezgisel destek ve yaşadığı hayat tecrübesidir. Düşüncelerinde ve edebi dilinde kimseyi taklit etmeden kendine has bir üslup oluşturabilmesini de buna borçludur.Başta şiir, hikâye, roman ve makale olmak üzere çeşitli edebi türlerin çoğunda eserler veren Yusuf, sahip olduğu özgün edebi dil ve eserlerinde üzerinde durduğu temel olgular bakımından modern Arap edebiyatının önemli şahsiyetlerindendir. Doğu dünyası başta olmak üzere yeryüzünde milyonlarca masum insanın hayatına mal olan kanlı savaşları, bu savaşların nedenlerini ve sonuçlarını; ırk, inanç ve cinsiyet ayırımları gibi insanlığın yaratılış gayesine aykırı olup toplumlara daima acı yaşatan problemleri sert bir dille tenkit eder. Bu sorunların ortadan kaldırılması ve insanlığın temel yaradılış gayesine uygun bir yaşam sürmesi için tesis edilmesi gereken demokrasi, barış, adalet, sevgi, özgürlük ve mutluluk gibi insani değerleri de ısrarcı bir tutumla savunur. Tüm bunları gür bir ses ile haykırmayı en kutsal ve birincil vazife olarak kabul etmektedir.Syrian Sabri Yusuf who is a literary man, painter and poet and his literary personality were discussed in this article. Like many artists and thinkers, Sabri Yusuf has been living with longing of home and heartbreak for many years, leaving behind his country and all his love that he has been heartily carried a torch to it for the sake of his freedom. Even he is impressed by many literary men, thinkers, sociologists and philosophers, his primary inspirations are the intuitive support of his inner world and life experience. This is also why he has managed to create his own style without imitating anyone in his thoughts and literary language.Yusuf, who gives important works to various literary genres such as poetry, story, novel and article in particular, is an important literary man and literary figure of our time in terms of both genuine literary language and basic facts in his works.He severely criticizes bloody wars that cost millions of innocent lives on earth, especially in the eastern world; the causes and consequences of thesewars; racial, religious, and gender discrimination, which are always in conflict with the creation of humanity and which cause societies to suffer. He also defends insistently the basic human values, such as democracy, peace, justice, love, freedom and happiness, which must be established in order to overcome these problems. He accepts shouting loudly as holly and primary duty. Because such a writer is not well known in our country, we decided to make a study about him.</p
Cumhuriyet'in kurucular kuşağından bir aydın: Sabri Esat Siyavuşgil
No full textİmparatorluktan ulus devlete geçişte, milli kimliğin oluşumu ve rejimin inşasında kurucular kuşağı aydınlarının Cumhuriyetin erken döneminden başlayarak 1960’lı yıllara kadar etkin oldukları bilinmektedir. Cumhuriyetin kurucular kuşağı aydınları içinde bir bilim adamı olarak faaliyet gösteren Sabri Esat Siyavuşgil, daha çok bir kültür adamı kimliği ile tanınmaktadır. Daru-l Fünün’un lağv edilip yerine kurulan İstanbul Üniversitesinin pedagoji-psikoloji bölümüne atanan Siyavuşgil, 1939 yılından itibaren çeşitli gazetelerde muharrirlik yapmış ve yeni rejimin özellikle kültür politikalarını açıklama, yorumlama ve yaygınlaştırma işlevlerini gazetecilik pratiği üzerinden gerçekleştirmiştir. Kültür politikalarının halka götürülmesinin kültür kurumları aracılığıyla yapılması konusunda çeşitli görüşler serdeden Siyavuşgil’in içinde yer aldığı aydın kuşağı ile duygu, davranış ve tutum benzerliklerinin yanında, bilim adamı kimliği ve aktif politika içinde yer almamış olması gibi özelliklerin bir yansıması olarak farklılaştığı durumlar mevcuttur. Döneminde basına yansımış tartışmalara bir taraf olarak değil daha ziyade tartışmaları yatıştırıcı bir tonla müdahalede bulunmaya çalışması bu farklılaşmanın tezahürüdür. Siyavuşgil’in köşe yazılarının söylem evreni ve stratejisinin tespitinin yapılması, hem Cumhuriyet’in erken döneminde etkinlik göstermiş kurucular kuşağı aydınlarının gazetecilik deneyimlerine ışık düşürmek hem de bir bilim adamı olan Siyavuşgil’in gazeteci/muharrir olarak portresini ortaya çıkarmak açısından önemlidir. AbstractIn transition from emperorship to nation-state,beginning from the early periods of the Republic to 1960s, the influence of the intellectuals of founder generation has been known in the creation of national identity and the construction of the regime. Sabri Esat Siyavuşgil who acted as a scientist within the intellectuals of founder generation of the Republic, has rather been acknowledged with a culturist identity. Siyavuşgil who had been assigned to the department of pedagogy-psychology of the İstanbul University after the abolishment of Daru-l Fünun, from 1939 on has worked as an author/penman in various newspapers and achieved the functions of the new regime especially the explanation, interpretation and dissemination of culture policies through the praxis of journalism. As Siyavuşgil’s various sights on the issue of carrying the culture policies to the people by cultural institutions has similarities in the sense of feelings, behavior and attitudes of the intellectual generation including him, there has been some positions where he differentiated as a reflection of scientist identity and not getting involved in active politics. His attempt to interfere in debates reflected in media/press during his period with a palliative tone rather than as a side of the discussions is a sign of this differentiation. The determination of the universe and the strategy of the discourse of the Siyavuşgil’s columns/articles are significant in terms of both to lighten the journalism experiences of the intellectuals of founder generation who were influential at early Republican period and to reveal the portrait of scientist Siyavuşgil as a journalist/author
