Publication Metadata only Duality of language as a tool for integration versus mobility at work: utility of a polyphonic perspective(Edward Elgar Publishing Ltd, 2023) Erbil, Cihat; Baglama, Sercan Hamza; Department of Business Administration; Özbilgin, Mustafa; Department of Business Administration; College of Administrative Sciences and EconomicsN/APublication Metadata only Investigating the effects of organizational long-term orientation and employees’ pay satisfaction on turnover intentions(Bursa Uludag University, 2024) Department of Business Administration; Aksoy, Eda; Department of Business Administration; College of Administrative Sciences and EconomicsThis research investigates the impact of organizational long-term orientation (LTO) and employees’ pay satisfaction on their intentions to leave their jobs. Drawing from stewardship theory, it proposes that both organizational LTO and pay satisfaction will inversely influence employees’ intentions to quit. Furthermore, these two antecedents are expected to have an interactive influence on turnover intentions. The theoretical model was empirically tested with data collected from an online survey of 335 white-collar employees across various industries in Türkiye. The data were analyzed using moderated multiple regressions. The findings provide empirical support for the hypothesized negative relationships between both organizational LTO and pay satisfaction with employees' intentions to leave their jobs. Furthermore, LTO has a significant moderating effect. When pay satisfaction is low, LTO significantly reduces turnover intentions. No significant effect is found when pay satisfaction is high. Hence, the study shows that pay satisfaction has a key influence on employees’ decisions to remain with the organization, especially in the context of high levels of unemployment and economic uncertainty observed in developing countries like Türkiye. Nevertheless, the study findings also suggest that organizations that have a high level of LTO can buffer at least some of the negative effects of low pay on employee retention.Publication Metadata only How an ipo helps in m&a(Wiley, 2010) Sevilir, Merih; Shivdasani, Anil; Department of Business Administration; Çelikyurt, Uğur; Faculty Member; Department of Business Administration; College of Administrative Sciences and Economics; 47082An initial public offering (IPO) can often provide a powerful stimulus to private companies seeking to pursue an acquisition- driven growth strategy. Based on a comprehensive analysis of U.S. IPOs, the authors show that newly public companies are prolific acquirers. Over 30% of companies conducting an IPO make at least one acquisition in their IPO year, and the typical IPO firm makes about four acquisitions during its first five years as a public company. IPOs facilitate MandA not only by providing infusions of capital but also by creating ongoing access to equity and debt markets for cash-financed deals. In addition, IPOs create an acquisition currency that can prove valuable in stock-financed deals when the shares are attractively priced. The authors also argue that IPOs improve the ability of companies to conduct MandA by resolving some of the valuation uncertainty facing privately held companies.Publication Metadata only Feeling attached to symbolic brands within the context of brand transgressions(Emerald, 2015) Sayin, Eda; Department of Business Administration; Canlı, Zeynep Gürhan; Faculty Member; Department of Business Administration; College of Administrative Sciences and Economics; 16135Purpose We propose that brands with strong associations and dedicated customers may be vulnerable if customers perceive them as exploiting their relationship. Methodology/approach - We start by reviewing the literature on brand meaning, brand attachment, brand relationships, and brand transgressions. The extant literature implies that as a result of their willingness to sustain their brand relationship, highly attached consumers will either discount negative information about a brand or attribute the responsibility for the negative information to some external factors. We propose, on the other hand, that when negative information dilutes the reason for brand attachment, the norm of the consumer brand relationship is violated (brand transgression). Then we argue that highly attached consumers of that brand will react more negatively (when compared to consumers not feeling highly attached) toward the brand. Findings We introduce a typology of brand transgressions against the (1) expressive, (2) exclusive, (3) expert, and (4) empathic nature of brands. We discuss the possible effects of attachment levels on consumers' reactions after such brand transgressions. Additionally, we articulate the moderating effects of four consumer motives (need for self-enhancement, need for uniqueness, need for risk avoidance, and need for justice) on consumer reactions. Originality/value - Our reasoning counters the literature suggesting that highly attached consumers of a brand will engage in relationshipsustaining behaviors. We contribute to the brand-transgression literature by providing a more structured and detailed definition of brand transgressions by classifying them under four distinct types.Publication Metadata only Store brands: from back to the future(Emerald, 2007) Raju, Jagmohan S.; Department of Business Administration; Sayman, Serdar; Faculty Member; Department of Business Administration; College of Administrative Sciences and Economics; 112222Store brands or private labels are owned and controlled by retailers. In this chapter, we place the research on store brands into perspective and highlight some issues that need further investigation. Researchers' interest regarding store brands can be clustered around five major issues. (1) The role of store brands; why do retailers introduce store brands? The explanations include gaining higher margins from store brands, reaching the price-sensitive segment, increasing store loyalty, and attaining better terms of trade from national brand manufacturers. (2) Store brand buyers: characteristics and profitability to the retailer. (3) The relationship among store brand and national brand prices and demands; strategic interaction among the manufacturer and the retailer, the nature of competition between store brands and national brands. (4) The retailer's decision regarding store brand characteristics, quality, and positioning; how do consumers perceive store brands? (5) Drivers of store brand success, in terms of product category, retailer, and industry variables.Publication Metadata only Business, ethics and institutions the evolution of Turkish capitalism in a comparative perspective(Routledge, 2020) Jones, Geoffrey; N/A; Çolpan, Aslı M.; Other; College of Administrative Sciences and Economics; N/AN/APublication Metadata only Embarrassed by calories: joint effect of calorie posting and social context(The University of Chicago Press, 2022) Ceylan, Melis; Morwitz, Vicki G.; Department of Business Administration; Aydınoğlu, Nilüfer Zümrüt; Faculty Member; Department of Business Administration; College of Administrative Sciences and Economics; 114037Given growing health concerns about obesity, it is important to understand under what conditions calorie posting will lead to reduced caloric consumption. In one field experiment and three scenario-based studies, we show that disclosing dish-specific calorie information on a menu is more effective in lowering the total calorie of meal orders when food is ordered in the company of others. We further demonstrate that the joint effect of calorie posting and social context on food choice occurs due to anticipated embarrassment as ordering an indulgent, high-calorie meal interferes with impression management concerns in these dining contexts. Consumers order lower-calorie meals to circumvent social embarrassment. Recognizing the importance of impression management concerns during food choice, our research sheds light on previous mixed findings regarding the effectiveness of calorie posting on menus by demonstrating when and why consumers might use caloric information when making food choices.Publication Metadata only Maximizing excess return per unit variance: a novel investment management objective(Palgrave Macmillan Ltd, 2016) Department of Business Administration; Glabadanidis, Paskalis; Faculty Member; Department of Business Administration; College of Administrative Sciences and Economics; N/AI propose a novel investment objective for portfolios fully invested in risky assets only. The new objective is based on achieving the highest possible excess return per unit of variance. The optimal portfolio is a linear combination of the tangent portfolio and the minimum variance portfolio where the weights are inversely proportional to the standard deviation of the return of each portfolio. Using a standard factor model of securities' returns, I provide an empirical application of the optimal portfolio and show that it performs quite well out-of-sample relative to the maximum Sharpe ratio portfolio as well as the minimum variance portfolio.Publication Metadata only Shift scheduling in call centers with multiple skill sets and transportation costs(IEEE, 2007) Emil, Emre; Department of Industrial Engineering; Department of Industrial Engineering; Örmeci, Lerzan; Salman, Fatma Sibel; Faculty Member; Faculty Member; Department of Industrial Engineering; College of Engineering; College of Engineering; 32863; 178838Workforce plans in call centers, mostly working 24 hours a day and 7 days a week, have to sAtışfy both custÖmer service levels and personnel constraints. Moreover, in large metropolitans such as Istanbul, call centers provide the transportation of the staff, so that shuttle costs constitute a major part of the total operational costs. We present a mathematical model which minimizes the transportation costs while sAtışfying service level and personnel constraints. We test our model with data from call centers.Publication Metadata only European banking enlargement, structural changes and recent developments concluding remarks(Palgrave, 2011) Department of Business Administration; Akdeniz, Özlem Olgu; Teaching Faculty; Department of Business Administration; College of Administrative Sciences and Economics; 113156
