Murabaha contract is one of the most applied and discussed transactions in the interest-free financial system. In the process that has been going on since the 1970s, when interest-free banking began, the subject of murabaha, which has been in the field of interest of many scientific disciplines, especially fiqh and economics, has been an issue that has attracted the attention of the academic community as well as being important for the real sector. The main purpose of this study is to deal with the historical development of such a contract, to follow the stages it went through and to examine the debates about the problematic points it has.
Murabaha, which is known as "production support" and "corporate and individual financing support" in practice in Turkey, is a larger-scale and most widely used transaction today, has common issues with other investment-financing models, as well as many different The fact that it contains a problem point, is the most discussed transaction in the modern period, and shows how a classical contract was modernized are the factors that make this contract important. Murabaha fiqh, economic, social, etc. This study, which aims to address various aspects with a critical and holistic perspective and to reveal the course of reasoning and judgment-making activities in modern Islamic economics problems based on the existing literature, is a candidate to fill an important gap in the literature.

Today, due to the rapid development of the Islamic finance sector and the fact that Islamic funds are approaching 3 trillion dollars, interest in this field has increased gradually, on the one hand, publications in this field have increased, on the other hand, Islamic financial institutions have become institutionalized to a large extent. While all these developments were taking place, the aspect of Islamic finance towards companies together with institutions operating in money and capital markets - that is, studies on the application of national and international companies to ordinary, collective, commandite, limited, joint-stock and holding companies - remained relatively behind. This book has been prepared to meet this need, covering almost all areas of financial management and in comparison with conventional finance. For this reason, the book has an intermediate upper structure.
In the book, the basic principles of finance related to Islamic finance within the framework of Islamic law are presented to the reader in a systematized manner in a systematic way, in comparison with conventional finance, and it is shown in detail how Islamic finance can be applied in all areas of the activities of companies in real life. Thus, it is aimed for the reader to gain knowledge in a structure that can think financially with a numerical and analytical method and solve the financial problems of the company by producing policies in accordance with Islam. Case studies of Islamic finance in the 22nd chapter, that is, case studies, added a different dimension to the book.

(B-1) Islamic Financial Management: System and Practice (Compared with Conventional Finance) in the first book of the series, what Islamic finance is and its application in today's modern companies (ordinary, collective, commandite, limited, joint-stock, holding companies) by taking into account the Islamic rules on this subject. shape was examined in comparison with conventional firms. Rational behavior and behavior do not change in conventional or Islamic finance. Every person or company tries to act, win, act efficiently in order to be optimal (the best); What is different is that the Islamic financier and manager must act and be successful by taking into account the prohibited and unethical rules according to Islam. As it is known, conventional companies; According to Islam, all kinds of interest, deceitful, morally corrupting, defective, adulterous, causing usurpation of rights, harmful to society, etc., which are considered haram. If they do not engage in activities, they become an Islamic firm. If Islamic companies carry out their activities without considering the harams and prohibitions of Islam, they also turn into conventional companies. Switching between companies is that simple. If an Islamic firm has engaged in haram activities, it first tries to prevent them and at the end of the period, it tries to remove the haram revenues from the firm. In order not to make mistakes, the Islamic financial manager has to know and apply the rules of both conventional and Islamic finance.

For an Islamic financial institution to survive and grow, it is essential that all stakeholders adopt a corporate governance approach to increase their trust in the institution. An effective corporate governance is necessary for an Islamic financial institution to manage the risk of non-compliance with Fiqh principles and rules, to grow in a healthy way, and to properly protect the interests of all stakeholders. In this context, an important part of corporate governance in Islamic financial institutions is an effective "Fiqh Compliance Management System" aimed at ensuring the compliance of activities with fiqh principles and rules. This book explains the Fiqh Compliance Management System in Islamic financial institutions in detail within the framework of literature and international standards, and the approaches of countries to the subject. it reflects in the context of legal regulations and reveals the situation of Turkey compared to other countries.
The problems we face today, where perhaps the fastest transformations in the history of humanity are experienced, trigger the search for a new normal, system and order in order to protect the current gains and to ensure an inclusive and sustainable growth and development process. These searches, which take place in almost every field, especially in socioeconomic and political fields; re-understanding the old, the re-discovery of the new, and the examination of the interaction between the old and the new. From an economic point of view as a result of these searches, discussions on the new economic system are being mobilized, and the problems of what will replace the old systems, how the new order will function, and how to define the roles of these new normally known economic actors are questioned -objectively and normatively. One of the efforts made in this context is the studies carried out within the scope of Islamic Economics and Finance, which is the richest in terms of experience, originality and consistency, and the impact/repercussion of these studies is increasing and expanding day by day across the world.
In order to support this effect/echo, this book, which was initiated by using the blind arbitrator process, begins by examining the subject of interest, which functions as litmus paper in terms of economic thought and systems. After the interest topic, there are sections on zakat, the state, solidarity institutions and participation banks, respectively. Within the scope of Islamic Finance; financing models, blockchain technology, behavioral finance and investment attorneyship are examined, followed by applied studies on the economy-finance relationship. Thus, it has been tried to contribute to the efforts of humanity in general and Turkey in particular to get rid of the systematic bottlenecks and deadlocks, and to the aims of understanding the old, discovering the new and examining the old-new interaction within the scope of Islamic Economics and Finance.

Imagine a product that you use a lot, and then think about the most important feature that determines the quality of that product for you. For example, this could be the life of the battery for a mobile phone. What would you say if you were told that none of the original batteries placed in the same brand and model product are exactly the same, or even if you are unlucky, you will come across a battery with a short lifespan and therefore the battery will run out after 6-7 months of use?
The first explanation that manufacturers will make to unlucky customers is that this is usually due to incorrect or heavy use. But let us tell you a secret. There may also be serious differences between the lifetimes of batteries used in exactly the same conditions. Such differences appear in a wide variety of products such as white goods, electronic goods, automobiles, and in the various features of these products. The engine sound insulation of two cars of the same model is not at the same level, such as turning the knob of one of the two dishwashers of the same model is easy and the other is difficult. In addition, the same problems are valid for a company that purchases raw materials or semi-finished products from a supplier. These differences are due to the fact that the products cannot be produced exactly as they were designed. This leads to serious customer dissatisfaction and loss of customers. For this reason, systematic studies are carried out in all sectors to make production more suitable for design.
All studies conducted for this purpose fall within the field of statistical quality control. The main subjects of these studies are the measurement of product features, quality characteristics in technical terms, statistical modeling and analysis of measurements, and as a result, the discovery and elimination of the causes of non-compliance with the design. Today, we see that these studies are sometimes carried out in the form of total quality management, sometimes ISO 9000, and sometimes six sigma applications. After discussing these different quality management approaches in the book, the methods used for statistical quality control are explained with various industry applications.

Financial decisions must be sound and accurate in order for companies to achieve their goals and to continue their activities successfully in a brutal competitive environment. The future is uncertain and full of risks, and both uncertainty and risks should be taken into account in the decisions to be taken. Financial decisions taken affect the financial position of the firm and will therefore have an impact on the market price of the firm. When we think that volatility and development dominate the markets, we see that financial management information needs to be constantly developed and updated. For this reason, the sixth edition was prepared a little different from the other editions and tried to be updated.
This book is designed to cover the two-semester content of the general mathematics course taught in the Business Administration Departments of universities.
In the book, the basic subjects of calculus, linear algebra, probability and differential equations are tried to be dealt with in an intuitive approach by associating them with reality as much as possible, in order to prepare the ground for the students of business administration to solve the problems they will encounter in the real world by using the concepts and symbolism of mathematics.
At the end of each chapter, a sufficient number of examples are discussed to reinforce the subject, and the solutions of many of them are also included.

This book, which is the first of two volumes prepared for the general mathematics courses taught in the Business Administration and Economics Departments of our universities, has plenty of questions with solutions at the end of each section. The solution to each problem is explained broadly and clearly. Even if proofs of some theorems are not given while the subjects are being treated, it has been tried to geometrically imply why they are so. Most of the theorems and fundamental formulas have been proved.
There are enough examples in the book to explain the theorems and basic information. While introducing a new concept, the relation of this concept with previous concepts was established, and it was tried for our students to learn by understanding that information in the easiest way.

Regardless of the field of activity and scale (size), the management phenomenon has a universal character for all businesses and institutions. The importance of the management phenomenon comes from the fact that it covers the issues that will enable organizations to achieve their goals. Undoubtedly, the effectiveness of the manager increases as he continues to have scientific knowledge and experience in subjects with a scientific content. Thus, managers use the scarce resources of the organization in an effective and efficient way to reach the goals of the organization.
The most difficult aspect of the management profession is "managing people". People, whose expectations, needs and competencies are constantly changing, lead managers to seek different management as an increasingly complex resource.
Management is a rapidly changing and developing field of science. On the one hand, while new concepts, techniques, models and theories are brought to the field of management, on the other hand, many theories whose accuracy and validity were defended for a period of time can be disabled or transformed by being criticized.
Our Business Management book covers many current topics that will contribute to the knowledge of undergraduate, graduate and doctoral students studying in the field of business administration, as well as managers and manager candidates working at different levels of the business world.

Statistics is widely used in all fields of science and many business fields because software package programs have developed by following theoretical developments. In an environment dominated by uncertainty, it is extremely important to ensure that statistics, which are used as a tool for making the right decision, are learned and comprehended both theoretically and practically. In our opinion, the most important feature of this book is that it has been prepared in such a way as to support the distance education system and self-learning effort, which has become widespread with the Covid-19 epidemic, both theoretically and practically. Therefore, in the book; first, the theoretical explanation about each section was made comprehensively, interpreted in detail with solved examples, and then the examples related to the subjects were applied using Excel, SPSS, Matlab or R software packages. Thus, it is aimed to minimize the need for teachers and classroom environment as in traditional formal education. With this book, it is expected that the deficiency in the self-learning, application and interpretation of statistics will be eliminated.
Today, with the rapid rise of information and communication technologies, we see that information systems are used in almost every field. Businesses are also taking steps to produce these systems instead of just using information systems in their business processes. Programming skills are vital in taking these steps. While data analysis and artificial intelligence studies have been used in the solution of many business problems by leaving the theoretical environment in recent years, it has become compulsory for students studying in the field of social sciences, especially in the departments of business, economics, finance and management information systems, to take programming education in order to keep up with the developing conditions and to solve their current problems.
In the rapidly developing technology world, the realization of a software idea that comes to your mind is limited to 30 days. In other words, it is necessary not only to think of the idea, but also to implement it quickly. This book provides easy and fast programming education to students in the field of social sciences, explaining the solution of business problems with examples, and enables the development of a wide range of applications from web page design to data analysis, from machine learning to deep learning, which are the usage areas of Python programming language. Even someone who has no programming education, to develop an application using the Python language, it is enough to learn the theoretical information in this book and repeat the applications.

Interpersonal communication begins with two people noticing each other and accepting each other's existence. In this process, the person; It conveys messages with its attitudes, personality, behaviors, what it does and does not do, what it says and does not say.
We are in the age of communication… If we are still talking but not explaining, telling but not being understood, talking but not listening, talking but not listening, talking and listening but still not being able to understand… our verbal and nonverbal messages, the factors that affect or hinder our communication should be questioned before our communication ends.
I guess I didn't understand...
You misunderstood me…
I wish I hadn't said that...
Oh my prejudices...
His tone sounded angry…
He made such an emphasis that…
Your eyes didn't say that, but…
He shook hands as if breaking my fingers…
What a stance it was, it told a lot…
Interpersonal Communication -Information-Impacts-Obstacles- evaluates various aspects of the interpersonal communication process with examples. In this sense, the book will shed light on both researchers who continue their academic studies and anyone who wants to communicate effectively.

The subject of leadership has a history as old as the process of people living collectively. Although it is the most studied, written and researched subject in the world, it is still not fully understood. For this reason, it preserves and will continue to protect its mystery.
The idea of writing this book has occupied my mind for a long time. The reason was that leadership was perceived as a unit. However, later on, my thoughts changed. Writing the book, taking only the leadership unit, did not seem very satisfying. For this reason, it has come to the fore to include issues that are closely related to leadership in the book. Therefore, topics such as decision-making process, cultural structure, personality, communication, motivation, stress and moral structure were included in the book. Within each unit, general evaluations about leadership were made.
Changes and developments in the social, political, economic and technological fields are taking place at a dizzying pace in the world. In such a process of change and development, some basic elements are needed so that companies, institutions and societies do not fall behind. Chief among these is leadership. Because only those who have leadership qualities can bring institutions or societies to the desired welfare levels by including them in the change and development process in accordance with the requirements of the age.
The book was written in a format that can be used by those who prepared it for the management level, as well as associate, undergraduate, graduate and doctoral students. We tried to keep the language as simple as possible. Despite all this, mistakes and shortcomings will definitely be seen. For this reason, we welcome all positive or negative comments or suggestions from readers.

Today, product movements within the supply chain have a vital importance both in terms of businesses and in terms of the trade volume of countries. In addition to this importance, a multidisciplinary perspective is needed in order to comprehend the concept of supply chain and examine it from an academic point of view. This versatility is undoubtedly reflected in the publications in the literature. However, it is seen that it is sometimes confused with the concepts of logistics.
This book, on the other hand, considers logistics as part of the supply chain. In this context, the subjects include the basic functions of both logistics and supply chain management processes from logistics management to supply chain. The plan of the book is based on the Supply Chain Operations Reference Model (SCOR), which has been widely accepted by many authors and academics. Based on the SCOR model, the book is divided into six main sections. The first part includes the concepts of logistics and supply chain management and their relations with each other. The second part, planning; third part, procurement and purchasing; fourth part, manufacturing operations; The fifth part is devoted to distribution issues. The last section is devoted to other important issues on the agenda in the field.

Machine learning, which is expressed as a sub-field of artificial intelligence; It is widely used in many fields led by engineering, finance and bioinformatics. In order to develop machine learning applications, it is important to understand some algorithms that contain calculus, linear algebra and statistics theoretically. After learning the theoretical aspects of these algorithms, an application can be developed by coding it with a programming language with an easy and rich library structure such as Python. The theoretical aspects of machine learning algorithms in the book were meticulously examined, and the necessary linear algebra and statistics were also briefly examined. Python applications were developed for each algorithm using problems containing original datasets. People who want to develop applications with Deep Learning, which is a sub-field of machine learning, especially learn the basic information in this book, will provide an important infrastructure. Deep learning architectures will be easier to understand after reading this book.

The importance of creating strong brands is felt more and more every day in the competitive environment of the business world, where world conditions are changing rapidly, world trade and economic flows are in a new restructuring. There are too many products, too many brands, too much competition in world trade. It is not easy to create a brand in markets with such brand density. The fact that the manufacturer packs the goods produced and puts a name on it and puts it up for sale, "I have created a brand and I am selling it." Thinking strategically and long-term before putting the brand on the market, testing it many times, positioning the brand, promoting it, in short, obtaining a long-term place in the mind of the consumer, is only a very small part of what needs to be done in creating a brand. All of these are the right product, the right strategy, Correct positioning can be achieved by hitting the target right in the middle.
While the importance of brand creation and branding has increased so much in today's markets, in this book, "How to create a brand?" starting from the question "What is a brand?", "What are the strategies to be considered on the way to branding?" answers to the questions were sought.
This book, on the one hand, motivates and guides businesses that have not yet fully overcome the hesitation of creating a brand, and on the other hand, in this age where we feel the need to be a brand in every field, "How can personal and corporate brand creation be?" It has been prepared to help those who are looking for an answer to the question and especially university students, "Brand" courses and "Marketing" courses, based on the importance of the subject.

The purpose of this book is to show engineers the time value of money in economics and business and the calculation of cash flows of implemented projects and to present methods to be used in case of comparison with other projects. Because behind every expenditure, every decision and every investment there is a financial front. The book “To the Engineering Economy”; It is a resource that can be easily benefited by engineers, operators, economists, investors, bankers, in short, anyone who has a business with money.
Have technical knowledge and expertise in their field; The purpose of the engineer as a technical staff who produces goods and services in the enterprise by using people, machinery, equipment, materials, equipment and processes; To achieve maximum production by using inputs such as materials, resources, time and technology.
As long as limited and costly resources cannot be used optimally and the highest possible values cannot be produced, a firm will fail in the market against its competitors and perhaps have to withdraw from the market. In order for the resources to be used optimally, the company must have an important technology, make its technological development a continuous process and be ahead of its competitors in technology. Every decision regarding the use of resources in the firm has an economic aspect. Resources must be used productively, that is, efficiently, and must provide maximum returns. For this reason, the engineer has to take all measures and apply the necessary methods for the efficient use of resources besides the management and in his field. The economic decisions taken may be short-term and long-term, and the expenditures will be short-term and long-term. If the economic decisions are short-term, that is, they cover a year, they are income expenditures, and if they cover more than one year, they are investment expenditures.
Engineer; How will it make income expenditures and investment expenditures, and how will it save on these expenditures? These are the subjects of engineering economics. Efficient use of resources, preparation of projects, making investments, executing the project and putting it into operation and similar processes continue throughout the life of the company and the engineer takes his place at every stage of the project. In this respect, it is very important to equip an engineer with knowledge of "Engineering Economics" and to act rationally. This work aims to give you this information.

In this book, the changing economic financial conditions in the Ottoman Empire after the declaration of the Tanzimat Ferman, both in terms of its content and social, legal and economic influence, were shaped around the idea of establishing a bank, which was one of the new practices for that period. As a matter of fact, the idea of 'establishing a state bank' for the Ottomans and the dynamics and intellectual infrastructure of its implementation is an important economic history event that needs to be examined.
This book in your hand examines the organizational characteristics of Dersaadet Bank, the first example of the Ottoman banking activities started in the second half of the 19th century, and the economic conditions of the period in which it started to operate, as well as the financial and commercial dimensions of its mission, with the help of Ottoman archive sources. This study has tried to show how the trade and business networks of the Tanzimat Period were shaped through financial markets, the nature of the entrepreneurial networks owned by the partnerships of merchants and bankers, and what features they contain in this sense, through the records of Dersaadet Bankası. This book, which can be considered as an essay on the purpose of the bank's establishment, the close relationship of the policy transactions it carried out with foreign trade and the Ottoman monetary system, and the revealing of the Ottoman entrepreneurial business networks through this experience, gives the reader a thematic overview of the 'Ottoman History of Economics, Business and Finance' literature. offers pain.

The book Organization Theory has been written to introduce the discipline of organization theory to the reader, to convey different perspectives, topics and theories in this field, and to create an infrastructure that can evaluate them. In the book, from the 19th century, when modernism, which emerged with the positivist approach in social sciences, shed light on the theory of organization, how the theory of organization developed until the 21st century, when the postmodernist approach was dominant in organization theory, which approaches were dominated by the theory of organization at different times, between approaches. It is aimed to systematically convey to the reader how conflicts are reflected in organizational theory and what difficulties they create in understanding organizations. While explaining how the theory of organization emerged and developed from a historical perspective, the book also aims to illuminate how social change overlaps with developments in other fields of science and its philosophical development as well as chronologically.
For effective learning of organizational theory, the diversity and complex nature of the field must first be acknowledged. Rather than trying to reduce the theory of organization to a single point of view, it is necessary to examine and enrich it within the framework of different perspectives of many paradigms. In this book, the complexity of organizational theory and its relevance to management practices as well as to social life are revealed by critical and distinctive assessments of different approaches, beyond the coherent and complementary explanations brought by the isomorphic approaches in many books to this field. It is aimed to break stereotypes in organizational theory, to prevent analysis based on a single paradigm, to prepare a suitable ground for reflexive thinking that is open to discussion and criticism, and to encourage a supra-paradigmatic understanding. Ultimately, the reader is expected to be able to understand the organization from different perspectives, think critically, move organizational theory beyond existing thought patterns, and develop enriching theoretical dialogues.

The reality underlying the success of organizations in today's globalization process is organizational internal effectiveness and efficiency. Because in difficult market conditions, organizations can continue their existence as long as they keep efficiency and productivity at high levels. The basic key to bringing efficiency and productivity to the desired levels is to know the "organizational structure" well.
Organizational behavior becoming a scientific discipline is very recent. However, the basic subject of organizational behavior, the human being and his productive work is very old. The interest of all scientists working on the organization has always focused on people and their efficiency.
People take part in an organizational structure at a certain period of their lives. The existence of people in organizational life depends on their success. This is closely related to the personal development of people. In this direction, Behavioral Sciences and Organizational Behavior trainings gain importance.
This book, whose chapter titles and topics were chosen primarily based on the needs of those who aim to be successful in business life, enables individuals to take a closer look at themselves and their business lives.

It is possible for organizations to reach their goals, by using their resources effectively and efficiently. The most important resource that organizations have is their employees, who are social and psychological assets. Understanding, influencing and directing the behavior of employees in the organization is the main focus of the field of organizational behavior. In this book, which consists of fifteen chapters, classical and contemporary organizational behavior issues are presented together.
Organizational behavior is to understand the behavior of people working in the organization, both as individuals and as group members, so that organizations can be managed effectively. Understanding behaviors and their causes is important because it allows managers to predict the future behavior of individuals, to direct and control them in line with the goals of the organization. This book has been prepared with the development of the book called Organization and Human, which was written to provide both theoretical information and guidance on what can be done in practice for people who are candidates for management, but is completely exhausted.
For this purpose, the book consists of two parts: Organization and individual. In the part of the organization, the definition of the organization is given and the studies that require the definition of the organization as a socio-technical system are included, the interaction between the organization, the environment, technology and the organizational structure and its relations with the working individuals are mentioned.
In the individual part, first of all, the individual differences that make a person special as someone working in the organization are discussed. It has been tried to explain the formation of the personality traits of the individual and the factors affecting it, the learning process that has an important effect on his personality, the effect of what he has learned on his attitudes and how they shape his perception, and finally what causes his behavior.
Individuals may behave differently as a group member than when they are alone. Since the employees in organizations have to be in at least one work group, the behavior of the individual in the group has been tried to be explained, so that the people who will be managers are given theoretical and practical information about how they should manage individuals as a group member. In this section, it has been tried to convey information to the manager candidates about establishing a healthy communication, motivating the employees correctly, leading them effectively, explaining the reasons for the conflicts and stress they experience and how they can cope with it.

It is possible to hear from almost everyone who works in this field that many reference books referenced while doing research on entrepreneurship are not different from general business books. There are very few academic books that deal with the concept of entrepreneurship, which differentiates with the change in technology, and evaluate the issues with a current approach without moving away from the main field of entrepreneurship. This book is a candidate to be a bedside book for entrepreneurs, entrepreneur candidates, academics, students, researchers and all parties interested in this subject, showing how entrepreneurs in the digital age can produce successful results and supporting all the issues they cover with current examples. In this book, the characteristics of successful entrepreneurs, entry of entrepreneurs to national or international markets, creating competitiveness, virtual entrepreneurship, the effect of industry 4.0 and society 5.0 on entrepreneurship, current areas of entrepreneurship, issues that entrepreneurs should consider in obtaining effective financial resources, social entrepreneurship, entrepreneurship. The importance of ethics, the impact of universities on entrepreneurship, the concept of startup, the innovation strategies of entrepreneurs and creating a business model, which is the most important building block in the success of an enterprise, are discussed.
When the Boss, who founded and grew his company with great difficulty, transfers the management of his company to a professional manager called the CEO / General Manager, that's when the problems begin to arise. Because, unfortunately, the saying of our forefathers, “the agent is like a principal”, is not always valid in company management. Alright;
Why can't the CEO (deputy) be like the Boss (principal)?
• Should the boss really be afraid of handing over the management of his company to a CEO?
•What are the common unethical behaviors of CEOs? Why and when do they exhibit these behaviors?
•How can the boss be protected from the CEO's potential wrong/unethical behavior?
• In what way the company's management system and Boss-CEO relations are designed, the saying “the agent is like a principal” is valid in the company management?
The book “The CEO of the Boss”, written by Saim Kılıç and Ali Alp, answers all these questions with an impartial perspective, plain language and concrete examples; explains the ways in which the ideal CEO of the boss can be created. This book, which includes many recommendations based on years of experience and observations, is an invaluable guide for bosses and CEOs alike.

Depending on the socio-economic developments in Turkey, the retail sector has gained a certain momentum especially since the mid-1980s and has come to a position where it can compete with retailing in the USA and EU. It would be appropriate to emphasize some basic facts in the development process of retailing:
• While the development of supermarkets, hypermarkets and shopping malls was at the forefront in Turkey, discount stores have become more popular in recent years; departmental (sectioned) stores either disappeared or changed in size and settled in shopping malls instead of independent stores.
• Local retailers have come to an important position in addition to the entry of foreign capital into the market. Besides organized retail, traditional retailers still have a significant share in the total retail market.
• The share of e-commerce in total retail sales is increasing rapidly in the world and in Turkey. It is estimated that the share of e-commerce in the world in 2020 will be 14.60%.
• Traditional single-channel retailing is not sufficient to meet consumer needs. For this reason, compatible omnichannel retailing has become a necessity.
• With the “One Belt One Road” project announced in 2013, China seeks to develop its global strategy in search of a new order in the new era. This new strategy of China indicates that the economic and political balances will be re-established in the world. The project will connect the easternmost of Asia and the European shores of the Atlantic Ocean, and targets 65 countries, including Turkey, and a population of more than 3 billion. These markets have reached saturation, especially Walmart and Carrefour, and mobilized the main retailers of the USA and the West.
• “Industry 4.0” introduced by Germany in 2015 and “Society 5.0” developed by Japan foresee new approaches. These new approaches will change the way retail does business, as it does in other industries. Retail decision makers will pay more attention to topics such as artificial intelligence and big data analytics in order to understand consumer trends and behaviors.

If we raise our heads and look around us carefully, we can see where consumerism has reached in the world. The opportunities created by all this consumption volume cause companies to compete with each other. The more customers they can attract, the more competitive advantage they will have. At this point, understanding consumer behavior is crucial. Since behavior is directly related to an individual's personality, analyzing personality traits might help in understanding the behaviors that consumers will display. Marketing practitioners who establish a relationship between personality traits and consumer behavior and recommend sales promotions according to this relationship will always be one step ahead of their competitors. This book aims to analyze the relationship between personality traits and consumer decision-making styles and predict how consumers are likely to choose sales promotions that are framed. Moreover, marketing practitioners can find an informative Executive Summary at the end of the book. The book gives a general idea about personality traits, personality theories and consumer decision-making process that may help undergraduate and graduate students interested in this field.

Since the units examined in the studies in the field of social sciences have various characteristics, the data is defined by more than one variable. In the case of a large number of variables, multivariate statistical analysis techniques are needed to analyze them together.
In this book, which is prepared as an undergraduate and graduate level textbook, multivariate statistical analysis techniques are discussed both theoretically and practically. In addition to the main multivariate statistical analysis techniques, advanced multivariate statistical analysis techniques are also included in the book. Analysis techniques in the content of the book were explained within the framework of basic conceptual information and applications were made with Stata, SPSS and R programs.
In order to guide students and researchers who will apply multivariate statistical analysis techniques, the book includes applications on various subjects in the field of social sciences, and attention has been paid to the detailed interpretation of the analysis results. Since these applications seek answers to various research questions by using real data, the book also has the feature of a research book, so it can be used by sectoral researchers, undergraduate and graduate students in all areas where multivariate analysis techniques are applied.
This book, which consists of twenty-one chapters, has been prepared by academics working at various universities in Turkey, whose fields of expertise are statistics, econometrics and operations research, and includes the following topics.
• Basic Assumptions of Multivariate Statistical Analysis Techniques
• Analysis of Data Entry and Multivariate Analysis Assumptions with Stata, SPSS and R Programs
• Multiple Linear Regression Models
• Logistic Regression Analysis
• Multivariate Analysis of Variance

Today, time series or similar courses are taught in economics, business, health and engineering departments of universities. Researchers doing postgraduate education in these departments are much more interested in time series. The most important reason for this is observing how a series of variables change over time, wondering how these variables will take shape in the future, and being the subject of academic studies.
This book does not go into much of the theory or mathematics of time series. Only mandatory equations are included. Most of the time series employees see the problem of how to create a suitable model with a more suitable program, not the mathematics. We also planned to use a methodology that can be easily understood by every researcher, by following a simpler, more understandable and more easy-to-understand way. You will notice this easily when you start working.

Today, logistics is a multi-stage, fast-changing network structure that covers many businesses and customers, and covers all processes, including infrastructure. Since it is necessary to have a conceptual perspective consisting of the synthesis of all of these for logistics management, it has become a vital priority to manage, maintain and develop appropriate strategies at the strategic level. Therefore, the main objective in strategic logistics management is to provide cost savings, as well as to plan logistics management that will gain a pioneering and innovative feature by predicting the change in technology and ecosystem, and to achieve competitive advantage in which customers are included.
In the Strategic Logistics Management book, which was written in 14 chapters in order to meet the deficiency in the field of strategic logistics management, general information about the development and importance of logistics management, decision-making methods, the relationship between management and logistics, strategic logistics functions, opportunities provided by new information technologies, financial and human factors in the strategic role of logistics. In this context, the role of management in increasing the effectiveness and efficiency are included. In this context, it is aimed to provide readers, professionals and academia with new perspectives on strategic logistics management and to increase their conceptual knowledge by examining these concepts in detail.

All the processes that ensure that all the goods and services we need are readily available when we need them, form the core of the Supply Chain. A Supply Chain is a network of relationships that connects customers, retailers and wholesalers, manufacturers and their suppliers, and the regular flow of goods, money and information between individuals and organizations.
customers; they want more suitable, better and lower cost products. Competition between goods and service providers has also reached global dimensions. In order to be successful in competition, it has become a necessity for organizations in the supply chain to establish and execute a coordinated and effective cooperation.
This book; It examines the transactions in the supply chain from raw materials to the end user and the roles of the organizations that perform these transactions, within the framework of various business models. It then focuses on establishing integration between supply chain members on a local and global scale.
