    <dcterms:title><![CDATA[Intrapreneurship in Small and Medium-Sized Enterprises]]></dcterms:title>
    <dcterms:abstract><![CDATA[Begining from the second half of the 1980s the concept of intrapreneurship found  an intense interest in the academic and business fields. It is seen that numerous academic  studies which are related with intrapreneurship have been done during that time. Although  intraprenurship is attempted to be defined in different ways, the most general sense of  intrapreneurship is considered to be entrepreneurship within an existing organization. In this  sense, intrapreneurship is regarded as individuals‘ being involved in the form of  entrepreneurial activities within an existing organization. In this study, firstly we defined the  concept of intrapreneurship then information about the requirements and dimensions of  intrapreneurship, process of creating intrapreneursship, comparison of executives and  intrapreneurship, motivation of intrapreneurship, differences of domestic and foreign  entrepreneurs and intrapreneurship in SMEs. Finally we were measure intrapreneurship in  SMEs by questionnaire at our last part of study.]]></dcterms:abstract>

    <dcterms:title><![CDATA[The Relationship between the Religiosity and the Ethical Attitudes of  Managers: An Empirical Study]]></dcterms:title>
    <dcterms:abstract><![CDATA[In this study, we aimed to explore the relationship between religiosity and business ethics.  Two dimensions of religiosity – intrinsic an extrinsic- were studied. We mainly tested one hypothesis:  whether ethical attitudes are affected by religiosity. However, we also explored the relationship  between ethical attitudes, intrinsic and extrinsic religiosity and various demographic measures of the  participants.In our study, we surveyed 510 managers and white-collar workers from 6 different  organizations in Turkey. Our survey instruments have three parts. First part included 24-vignette  ethics scale of Barnett and Brown (1994). Second part included 14-item religiosity scale of Allport  and Ross (1967). Third part contained various demographic measures. Findings of the study show that  intrinsic religiosity is partly and negatively correlated with ethical attitudes and extrinsic religiosity is  positively related to the ethical attitudes. In other words, intrinsically motivated people are more  prone to behave ethically than extrinsically motivated people are.]]></dcterms:abstract>

    <dcterms:title><![CDATA[Implementation of a Computer-Based Course on Moodle]]></dcterms:title>
    <dcterms:abstract><![CDATA[Increasing popularity of Internet led to expectation of course materials and activities  to be distributed and collected online. Many universities have already started to support the  courses with the technology. But most of them are still lack of a structured, well designed  Learning Management System. Therefore, instructors in these universities are still distributing  course materials (like presentation files) to students at the end of their lectures and collecting  assignments by email. This approach is open to many problems. Being aware of these problems,  Epoka University started a pilot implementation of Moodle in 2010. This study presents  experience of this implementation on a computer-based course (C Programming) which is  aimed to be useful to the other education institutions.]]></dcterms:abstract>

    <dcterms:title><![CDATA[The Importance of Numerical Flexibility In  Turkish Labor Market and Competition Policy]]></dcterms:title>
    <dcterms:abstract><![CDATA[Numerical flexibility, which has been common since Atkinson (1984), can be defined  as a situation where the number of staff and the number of hours worked can be increased or  decreased depending on the demand for labour. Within the &quot;flexible firm model&quot;, numerical  flexibility is seen as being designed to facilitate a rapid adjustment in headcount, in line with  short-term changes in the level of demand for labour so that the number employed equals the  number required at any time. Based on Labour Law no 4857, Turkey has adopted this approach as  a competition policy in order to provide flexibility into labor market and to promote the  competition of Turkish firms. Therefore, in this study, flexibility-based tools are discussed and  evaluated in terms of competition policy.]]></dcterms:abstract>

    <dcterms:title><![CDATA[The Use Of Building Models As An Educational Material And Their  Impact On Learning]]></dcterms:title>
    <dcterms:abstract><![CDATA[Materials are an indispensable component of education and teaching and used for  supporting teaching during the teaching-learning process. Aids and materials are employed in  an attempt to fulfill the objectives of the teaching process during education-teaching activities.  In today’s rapidly-changing and developing world, individuals are not supposed to obtain  information from one single source and memorize it; in contrast, the objective is to school the  type of individuals who can know how to access to information, how to use it and how to  come up with ways to overcome problems encountered. The use of teaching materials  designed in accordance with the principles of teaching technologies is vitally important for  enabling individuals to develop such skills. A fundamental factor in increasing the level of  achievement in courses, in ensuring a decent educational system and in enabling students to  experience an enduring learning process is to get students to like the subject to be taught.  Otherwise, students will not be interested enough to get the input and no enduring learning  process will take place no matter how well-versed and experienced an instructor is in his/her  field. This paper is a study into the effects of the use of educational materials on the level of  students’ achievement and interest in courses. Furthermore, it includes a comparison between  the efficiency of material-aided instruction and teacher-centered instruction. The effect of  these two methods on the level at which particular concepts related to a lesson are learned has  been analyzed through the use of experimental design with pretest-posttest control group.]]></dcterms:abstract>

    <dcterms:title><![CDATA[The Role of Public and Private Investment to Ensure Sustainable  Macroeconomic Stability in Turkey]]></dcterms:title>
    <dcterms:abstract><![CDATA[Private investment plays a vital role to promote sustainable economic growth and to reduce poverty in  developing countries. The idea of using private sector investments intensively to boost growth in Turkey has started to  emerge after 1980s. Despite a sizeable empirical literature, the impact of public investment in the developing countries  gives inconsistent results on whether it complements or crowds out private investment. This paper makes use of Blejer  and Khan Model (1984) for Turkey over the 1980-2009 periods estimating the effect of public investment on private  sector. We employed time series analysis in this study. Our findings support the hypothesis that GDP growth stimulates  private investment while public investment and private investment are complementary. The other finding of the study is  that credit constraint is an important determinant of private investments in Turkey.]]></dcterms:abstract>

    <dcterms:abstract><![CDATA[In the information age, countries that are considered to be developed owe their  technological and economic advancement to their investments on human resources. Positive values  that emphasize humane characters such as knowledge, skill, experience and dynamism are seen as  human capital. These values, by ensuring more effective use of other factors used in production,  increase the rationality in economic activities and enable the national economy to develop faster.  Development plans have become much more important and necessary due to the multidimensional and  rapid transformation, intensifying competition and increasing uncertainties. Turkey in the EU  accession process attaches high importance to the human capital factor in its development plans due to  the high density of young population it has. The aim of this study is to evaluate the human capital  element in the framework of development plans which have been prepared by Turkey, a candidate of  EU membership, from past to present. In this study, human capital element has been evaluated on the  basis of the ―education sector‖ that is considerably important due to its positive impacts on the  development process. As a result of the comparisons between the EU and Turkey, the necessary steps  and suggestions to be followed by Turkey as regards to human capital establish the scope of this  research.]]></dcterms:abstract>

    <dcterms:abstract><![CDATA[The countries in the EU have entered into an essential localisation and  reconstruction period. In this process, regions have come to the forefront as one of the most  important actors of the EU and have acquired an ever-mounting impact area in the decisionmaking  processes. There are two reasons for regional development model has been  evaluated on the axis of EU. Differences among the regions have increased due to the  enlargement of the Union and this subject has become an aspect that is emphasized after  each enlargement process. First of all, European Commission has followed a policy that has  a forward effect in order to decrease the instabilities since 1987 and has increased the size  of its intervention force. Whether the form of change in the convergence model can be  drawn or not, it gives a number of signs about the efficiency of regional policy. Secondly,  some changes have occurred in the understanding of regional policy which is the common  policy of the EU in the process after 1990s and the understanding of ―new regionalism‖ has  come forward. In this understanding, the term of ―region‖ has become essential and  acquired a new dimension.]]></dcterms:abstract>

    <dcterms:abstract><![CDATA[Since the beginning of 1990s, Balkan countries have significantly been changing as social,  economic and politic structure. However, these countries have important differences in terms of human  development indicators. Some countries in Balkans have low GDP levels. However, same countries  replace between High Level Development countries in Human Development Index (prepared by UNDP).  The aim of this paper is to investigate in terms of human development of Balkan countries that are not  being member of EU countries. In scope of this aim, we will compare with three country groups related to  human development. These groups are currently EU members countries (exclude Balkan countries),  currently Balkan countries that are member of EU and other Balkan countries. As a result, this paper will  have determined whether or not suitable for full membership to EU of Balkan countries.]]></dcterms:abstract>
