Preservation of Turkish Culinary Culture: The Role of Turkish Chefs in the United States
(İstanbul Gelişim Üniversitesi Yayınları / Istanbul Gelisim University Press, 2026) Torusdağ, Gülşen Berat; Özkan Önem, Esra; Sami, Fuat
Aim: The aim of this study is to examine the dynamics of restaurants serving Turkish cuisine in the United States, with particular focus on Turkish restaurants in Florida. It explores chefs’ efforts to integrate and preserve the unique Turkish culinary heritage within the US restaurant industry, as well as the cultural interactions within multinational structures. Method: A semantic and interpretive qualitative research approach was adopted to examine the transnational representation of Turkish culinary culture through these restaurants. In qualitative research, purposive sampling methods, particularly criterion and snowball (chain) sampling, were used in sample selection, and semi-structured interviews were conducted with Turkish chefs residing in Florida and working in Turkish restaurants. A total of eight participants were reached within the scope of the study. Content analysis conducted with MAXQDA yielded three categories from the interviews: Recipe Standardization and Quality, Social, Environmental, and Economic Impacts, and Cultural and Gastronomic Context. Results: The findings reveal that the lack of standardization and recording of recipes creates significant concerns and challenges in terms of the preservation of Turkish culinary culture, its international representation, and quality. Aiming to appeal to the tastes of customers with different religious and ethnic backgrounds and to profit from this, as well as seeking solutions to the difficulties experienced in sourcing ingredients, chefs have begun offering modern and global interpretations of traditional Turkish cuisine through fusion cuisine. However, they also incorporated authentic elements into the restaurant’s atmosphere and presentation, reflecting the spirit of Turkish cuisine. Conclusion: Despite all the challenges, the chefs continue to work with sensitivity and responsibility to preserve Turkish culinary heritage and preserve it in its most valid form, miles away in Florida.
Adam Smith’in İktisadi Değer Açıklamaları ve Başlattığı Düşünsel Sorgulamaların Analizi
(İstanbul Gelişim Üniversitesi Yayınları / Istanbul Gelisim University Press, 2026) Kızıltepe, Musa
Amaç: Çalışmada iktisadi değer teorilerinin temeli olarak Adam Smith’in iktisadi değere ilişkin yaptığı açıklamaların mercek altına tutulup incelenmesi ve bu açıklamaların iktisadi düşünce içinde başlattığı düşünsel sorgulamaların değerlendirilmesi amaçlanmıştır. Ricardocu, Marksist ve neoklasik iktisadi değer teorilerinin iyi anlaşılabilmesi için bunların açığa çıkmasına zemin hazırlayan Adam Smith açıklamalarında öne sürülen tezlerin ve bu tezlerin başlattığı düşünsel sorgulamaların bilinmesi gerekmektedir. Yöntem: Çalışmada nitel analiz tekniği kullanılmış, birincil ve ikincil düzeyde önem arz eden kaynaklara başvurulmuştur. Smith’in iktisadi değer açıklamalarını yaptığı ana eseri Milletlerin Zenginliği birincil düzeyde, Smith açıklamalarını değer teorisinin gelişim seyri içinde ve iktisadi düşünce tarihinin şekillenişi bağlamında inceleme ve değerlendirme konusu yapan eserler de ikincil düzeyde önem arz eden kaynaklar olarak incelenmiştir. Bulgular: Smith’in iktisadi değer açıklamasını, ihtiva edilen emek, toplama değer ve kumanda edilen emek olmak üzere üç ayrı tez üzerinden yaptığı, bu tezlerin değişen toplumsal koşullara ve Smith iktisadında değer açıklamasına başvurulan bağlama göre şekillendiği, değer teorisinin gelişimi bakımından da düşünsel sorgulama zemininin bu tezlerin üzerinde yükseldiği tespit edilmiştir. Emeğin yalnız başına değerin ölçüsü olup olamayacağı, sermayenin emek cinsinden ifadesinin mümkün olup olmadığı, iktisadi değerin yaratımında sermaye ve arazinin emek kadar başat rolü olup olmadığı sorgulamaları, ardından gelen dönemde Smith tezlerinin değer teorisine gelişme yolunu açtığı tartışmaların omurgasını oluşturmuştur. Sonuç: Çalışma sonucunda Adam Smith’in iktisadi değerin açıklanmasına yönelik öne sürdüğü tezlerin düşünce tarihindeki öneminin, bu tezlerin birbirleri ile tutarlı olmasından değil; Smith sonrası geliştirilen değer teorilerinin tamamen Smith’in yarattığı düşünsel sorgulama zemininin üzerinde yükselecek olmasından ileri geldiği anlaşılmıştır. Smith’in tezleri, sonrasında iktisadi değer üzerine geliştirilecek fikirlerin filizlenmesini ve zamanla sınıflara ayrılmasını sağlamıştır. Emek-değerin farklı ele alışları ve fayda-değer kulvarlarında ayrışarak yol alacak iktisadi değer teorilerinin temeli, Smith tezlerine dayanmaktadır.
Airline Mergers and Financial Performance: Evidence from the Delta–Northwest Case
(İstanbul Gelişim Üniversitesi Yayınları / Istanbul Gelisim University Press, 2026) Gümüş, Nihat; Farokhran, Ahad Ghasemi
Aim: This study aims to examine the financial effects of mergers and acquisitions (M&As) within the air transportation sector with a specific emphasis on the merger between Delta Airlines and Northwest Airlines in 2008. Consequent to the deregulation and liberalization process, airlines have increasingly engaged in mergers and acquisitions to achieve economies of scale, broaden their route networks, and enhance their competitiveness. The paper evaluates whether the proposed advantages of mergers and acquisitions are substantiated by analyzing the financial performance of Delta Airlines prior to and following the merger. Method: The research utilizes key performance indicators (KPIs) related to revenue, profitability, cost efficiency, and market share. Financial data was collected from company-released annual reports from 2000 until 2019, before the industry collapsed because of COVID-19. The study compares the KPIs for the periods before and after the merger decision using a descriptive analysis supported by parametric and non-parametric tests. Results: The results clearly indicate that although Delta experienced a challenging transition year in 2008, the long-term effects of the merger were strongly positive. The analysis results show that the operational and financial performance of Delta improved after the merger. Conclusion: The study’s findings corroborate the theoretical foundations indicating that mergers and acquisitions may yield favorable results for the combined entities regarding operational efficiency, load factor, and profit margins when evaluated against various key performance indicators. This study contributes to the literature on mergers and acquisitions by offering empirical evidence on the positive post-merger operational and financial effect of one of the most significant mergers in U.S. aviation history.
A Design of Relief Logistics System by Axioms
(İstanbul Gelişim Üniversitesi Yayınları / Istanbul Gelisim University Press, 2026) Ateş, Ozan
Aim: This study scientifically addresses aid logistics operations, a subfield related to disaster management. It aims to conduct a design study that will guide those in authority. The study is in line with the classical logistics flow, with a value-oriented lean perspective, and eliminates processes that are not beneficial to disaster victims and include waste. The application of the axiomatic design approach in logistics, particularly in relief logistics, is relatively new and is expected to contribute to the existing literature gap in this area. Method: This study presented a complete, separate, waste-free design structure for aid logistics activities using the Independence Axiom from the Axiomatic Design (AD) principles as a method. Independence action is a scientific methodology based on the design of design steps as separate as possible from each other. While creating the design structure in question, the dimensions of classical logistics were taken into consideration and the lean logistics perspective was utilized. In addition, current literature was effectively utilized in defining aid logistics design steps. Results: The issues experienced after the earthquakes that occurred on February 6, 2023 and affected Turkey and Syria showed that there was no organizational awareness regarding aid logistics. When the collection and dispatch of aid materials after the earthquake was observed, it was seen that this operation was not carried out correctly and the necessity of such a study was realized. Conclusion: The design presented has been presented as a horizontal hierarchy, simple, suitable for logistic flow, easy to understand and implement design study. Research on current literature has been guiding on what the design steps should be. For future studies, it is recommended that AT approaches be applied in other areas of disaster logistics. Correct prioritization of rescue activities, correct transfer of disaster victims to shelter areas, and management of wastes resulting from disasters are areas that can be improved with AT approaches.
