    Clustering Approach As a Regional Development Tool
    (Elsevier Science Bv, 2012) Yelkikalan, Nazan; Soylemezoglu, Ergul; Kiray, Abdullah; Sonmez, Rukiye; Ezilmez, Bilal; Altun, Melike
    Clustering is defined as geographic concentration of companies operating in the same sector as well as having a close buyer and seller relationship with other sectors in the region, using common technologies and sharing a specialized workforce pool that will be provide competitive edge. Specialized suppliers, service providers, universities and companies of the related sector such as commercial enterprises form the clusters. Clustering can occur in a region, sector and even in a country. Turkey is a country where agriculture and livestock sectors are important. According to TUIK (Turkish Statistics Institute) data, approximately 65 % of the population is still employed by this sector. One third of the agricultural activities are based on stockbreeding. Milk yield is one of the prominent items of agricultural products and Turkey is ranked as the world's 15th country in milk yield. Although 13 million tons of milk produced in a year is not sufficient in terms of Turkey's potential, milk yield has been increasing, developing recently and milk processing has become more sufficient. This study reviews the milk producers located in canakkale Region and highlights the clustering characteristics of the sector and establishes the factors having an impact on the clustering. This study examines the clustering status of dairy producers in canakkale region and operating in the same sector. As clearly evidenced by the number of producing plants and animals milked as well as the total amount of milk produced, dairy producers located within the territory of canakkale are clustered in Biga district. The results clearly confirm that there is a clustering in that region. The number of cooperatives and cooperative partners existing in Biga as well as the total amount milk produced and sold here also support these results.

    Revanchist Behaviors in an Academic Style: A Qualitative Study to Analyze Academics' Revenge
    (Univ Tehran, 2020) Koc, Oktay; Kiray, Abdullah; Ozdemir, Serkan
    This study focuses on examining the counterproductive behaviors of academics, who have a lesser likelihood to show revanchist acts on account of the characteristics of their professional group, defining the purposes, means, and reasons of revenge, and determining the results of revanchist behaviors. To this end, we conducted a qualitative study on the academics who were working at Turkish state universities. In the end, the reasons, purposes, and means of revenge have been defined, and the results of revanchist behaviors have been determined through processing and analyzing interpretively collected data. Accordingly, there are numerous rationales for revenge among academics as they define it personally and closely related to their personal character on one hand, and on the other hand, they tend to use various tools during revenge process, mostly a combination of semi-legal and legal ones since there are some obstacles (i.e. administrative sanction mechanisms) to use illegal tools. In addition, they aim to re-balance the situation and look for justice after any harmful action or activity stemmed from other parties. As a different result, revenge is defined as a tool for protecting self and self-interest(s).

    (Uk Zhende Publishing Ltd, 2024) Koc, Fatih; Akdogan, Muzaffer; Yesildal, Ali; Kiray, Abdullah; Koc, Oktay
    While existing literature mostly analyzes public leaders' pandemic responses, limited attention has been paid to local government leaders in terms of values work. This study examines the values created and infused by senior managers who serve as institutional leaders in local governments during the COVID-19 pandemic. Focusing on the data collected from the responses of the sample set, the study aims to illuminate the processes of creating and infusing values among senior managers of a metropolitan municipality in T & uuml;rkiye. For this aim, interviews were conducted with 11 senior managers of this metropolitan municipality. The findings produced within the scope of two propositions firstly reveal three types of value created for, and infused into the organization: personal, organizational, and service-related. Secondly, the study identifies the uniform process devoted to values work among senior managers and reveals that there are no significant differences in the styles of creating and infusing values (i.e., values work) among managers at different levels of local government in challenging times.

    Taking the Advantage of the Coercive Effects of Legal Arrangements in Shaping Public Servants' Political Behaviors: The Case of the Hatch Act
    (Istanbul Univ, Fac Law, 2020) Koc, Oktay; Kiray, Abdullah; Gunaydin, Osman Abdullah
    The aim of this study is to investigate the effects of legal arrangements in terms of providing neutrality for public servants, and in this essence hindering them from behaving politically. The main rationale motivating this study is basic propositions about the possible political behaviors of public servants and the necessities of avoiding such behaviors. In fact, it can be assumed that the politics-administration dichotomy has an incredibly deterministic effect in the public administration field. In this scope, some roles have mostly been given to public administrators in terms of just implementing policies and some measures have been taken for providing administrators' political neutrality. One of the best-known of these measures is the Hatch Act in the USA. The Hatch Act has been built as an institutional order in providing political neutrality of federal, state and local employees. In can also be expressed that several coercive measures were established for building and maintaining this order. For analysis, specific archive documents and other relevant texts were collected by using open sources (i.e. legal documents and internet resources). After collecting data, the content analysis technic was used to find apposite answers for the research questions. This study's potential contributions are manyfold. Firstly, it defines political or partizan behaviors or activities of public servants in general and more specifically in the scope of the Hatch Act to some extent. Besides this, many issues such as the coercive effects of legal arrangements in hindering political behavior of public servants, established actors and mechanisms for this aim and produced outcomes in implementation have been put forth in detail. Along with these it also clarifies the maintenance of such institutional orders.
