M. Hakan KESKİN The book in your hand is the Turkish version of the project designed as two books in Turkish and English on Supply Chain Management. The aim of the aforementioned project is to provide a textbook and basic resources written specifically for Turkey to the logistics departments, where mostly English or one-to-one translated books are used on "Supply Chain Management".
For this reason, the content of the study was designed to be used in one semester in accordance with 14 weeks. For the convenience of faculty members, a syllabus [syllabus] [according to the Bologna process] has been added at the end of the book, as well as "Learning Objectives", "Discussion and Research Topics" and "Evaluation Questions" for each section.
Based on the foresight that students who graduate from logistics departments will primarily be employed in Turkey, the content of each department has been enriched with field examples and practices suitable for Anatolian realities.
Due to the international nature of supply chains, global supply chain practices and practices of multinational companies that transcend national borders have been added to the examples at the national level.
The reason why the book is prepared in two languages, Turkish and English, is that most of the logistics programs in Turkey provide education in English. Thus, it is thought that Turkish and foreign students [who are considering shaping their future in Turkey] will contribute to the solution of the problems they encounter while taking lessons in a language other than their mother tongue, to overcome the confusion in different languages ​​in logistics jargon, and to have access to both Turkish and English versions of the same subject. .

Nihat Erdoğmuş Career in terms of persons; It is a phenomenon that needs to be re-interpreted by taking into account the values, interests, personality and competencies, the time and future years. It is necessary to consider the concept of career as a lifelong process rather than a phenomenon that is chosen once in a certain time period. This process consists of different phases, in which there are different motives that direct the person in each phase, and it has a characteristic that changes over time. Career includes external and internal elements that must be taken in interaction and in a balanced way. The economic and social return of the career shows the external (objective) aspect, while the satisfaction and inner peace in the career indicates the internal (subjective) aspect. Although the weight of these elements varies to a certain extent according to the individuals, the balanced execution of these two will bring both the continuation of personal productivity and personal satisfaction. Career is a phenomenon that needs to be positioned correctly and balanced in terms of other roles and responsibilities for people in life. It is observed that career people develop more healthily in an environment where they take more responsibility and make choices accordingly, and where social structures and theories are supportive and facilitating.

Hasan SELÇUK, K. Batu TUNAY Indirect or intermediary financing plays a vital role in today's contemporary financial systems. Even in directly financed markets, it is often not possible for market participants to trade individually and they need to get services from specialized financial intermediaries. Thus, the roles and activities of financial intermediaries have increased more than ever before. It is well known to those who are familiar with the subject that banks have always had a very important place among financial intermediaries. It is also well known that commercial banks or deposit banks play a dominant role among the types of banks such as investment banks, development banks or participation banks.
It is observed that commercial banks, which are the leading players of bank-based financial systems, are increasingly dominating market-based financial systems. Although investment banks have a significant weight in market-based systems, it is seen that commercial banks have increasingly penetrated into this area in the last two decades, with the effect of financial liberalization trends. The same trend is strongly felt in other areas of finance, particularly in the insurance sector, with practices such as bancassurance.
One of the most important reasons why commercial banks are in a superior position even in different types of financial systems is that they turn into supermarkets of financial products and services over time, suppressing other types of intermediation in the system by using their space and economies of scale advantages. Today, customers who demand financial products and services go to meet all their needs through commercial banks, as they save a lot of time and money. Indeed, with their widespread branch networks, internet branches, advanced technology-based applications such as mobile and telephone banking, commercial banks can serve their customers on a 24/7 basis, almost anywhere.
This book covers the basic principles and theories of the management of commercial banks, which have a central role in today's contemporary financial systems and have now become almost the dominant type of intermediation. Within the scope of financial management principles of banks; Topics such as the management of the bank firm and its branches, the fund raising and utilization strategies of banks, pricing and marketing strategies specific to banks are covered. Written at undergraduate and graduate levels, the book is a resource that can be easily used at the associate degree level, ignoring some technical issues. In addition, we believe that the book will be useful in providing a general vision to readers who are interested in banking or who are just starting out in this profession.

Gonca Reyhan Akkartal In the last decades, logistics and supply chain management have been the indispensable part of trade. By globalization, supply chains and logistic operations multiplied their importance. There have been many factors affecting logistics today. Not only the operational part but also the planning part has diversified areas. As a matter of fact technology helped the logistics industry too much. Although purchasing and many other transactions can be made via internet, goods must be delivery by the last mile. Finance, warehousing, procurement, management, organization, recycling and transportation of goods and services are parts of logistics and they have many sub-branches.

prof. Dr. Yavuz ODABAŞI, Anadolu University, Retired Lecturer

“Consumer behavior” is one of the most complex issues within the marketing science discipline. Marketing academics continue to examine the subject from every aspect and continue to examine the tiniest details of purchasing. Educator Editor. See. Mehmet Akif Çakırer and Assoc. Dr. Sezer Bozyiğit's book “Consumer Behaviors” has reached us as an important bedside book consisting of several chapters, each of which was written by current sources, by many valuable academicians on the subject. An extremely useful resource for academics and practitioners on the subject. My heartfelt congratulations to both the editors and the authors.
prof. Dr. İbrahim KIRCOVA, Yıldız Technical University

Consumption mainly uses neighborhood pressure. The basis for this is that “We will feel left out if we don't do what the rest of the world does or take what they get.” based on his argument. The difference is so clear that it's like the difference between the "visible" person to others and the "invisible" person in the toilet. How to say, not the same person. Why not? This is where behavioral sciences come into play... Decision science. Why do we think so? Why do we act like that? What is the real motivation behind the decisions you make? Why do smart people make stupid mistakes? “They don't know, but they do.” This discourse expressed by Karl Marx in Capital has been one of the most important illuminators of the definition of ideology over the years. For today; If we say, "They don't think, they just take"... Let's see why this is so, let's read and learn about this valuable, multi-authored, multi-viewed work...
prof. Dr. Uğur BATI, Communication Sciences and Decision Science Specialist

Changes occurring in our country and in the world directly or indirectly affect consumer behavior as well as in many different areas. In the face of the emerging changes, the demands and demands of the consumers may also differ. In this sense, marketing managers who are trying to create and manage demand should act proactively against their competitors. This book, which will contribute to the training of future marketing managers, whom we expect to act proactively, will provide important knowledge and open perspective not only to students studying in the field of marketing, but also to those who are sarcastic or come from different disciplines and work or will work in the field of marketing. I would like to congratulate our esteemed editorial friends who contributed to the creation of this book, as well as our young academics who added value to the chapters they wrote for their contributions.
prof. Dr. Erkan ÖZDEMİR, Uludag University

I am sure that anyone who is interested in the field will enjoy reading this work, which is the product of a meticulous study, in which the theoretical information on consumer behavior, which is the focal point of marketing science, is supported by current examples and case studies. I congratulate everyone who has passed the test.
prof. Dr. Gulpinar KELMCI, Marmara University

Ali Karaman, Bülent Demirağ, İbrahim Halil Efendioğlu, Kazım Dağ, Serhat Fırat, Sinan Çavuşoğlu Understanding consumer behavior and producing goods and services according to the wishes and desires of consumers has been accepted as the focus of today's marketing approach. It is possible to say that marketing, which has passed through various stages such as product, sales and modern marketing understanding from the first ages to the present, functions as one of the most important functions that enable businesses to communicate with consumers and customers. It is of great importance to closely recognize the consumer and the cultural, social, psychological and personal factors that affect the purchasing behavior of this consumer, and to work for the satisfaction of the consumer. Because it is very difficult to bring a heartbroken and dissatisfied consumer to the business as a repeat customer. For this reason, it is thought that if consumers are well known, it is possible to produce goods and services that will satisfy them. The book written for this purpose; It is thought that it can be useful both for businesses, as a textbook, for associate, undergraduate and graduate students, and also for customers and consumers in order to increase consumer awareness. With the hope that it will be useful to all our readers and humanity...

Gözde Mert People's transition from hunter and gatherer to settled order, urbanization and establishment of city-states, possession of seeds and products made division of labor and trade possible. This trade, which started with barter, led to the emergence of traders and businesses with the discovery of precious metals and money. The trade, which developed considerably through silk, took an international form. With the emergence of the railway and the telegraph, the businesses turned into increasingly gigantic enterprises.
The source of land, product, technology, knowledge and welfare has now become a commercial power. To have this power, military units were formed, alliances were made, laws were made and wars were made. Empires collapsed, regimes disappeared. Everything has come to an end, but the trade has not come to an end, he is still alive.
In this book, the theoretical and conceptual framework of international business is expressed and explained with case studies. International business is handled thematically with a multi-disciplinary approach.

Mehmet Ragıp Görgün In our globalizing world, in an environment of ruthless competition, logistics is an increasingly important sector. An efficient and effective logistics sector provides a cost advantage especially to exporting companies in a competitive environment, while making positive contributions to the growth of countries. Although it is very important that the logistics sector can work efficiently and offer economical prices, many countries cannot achieve successful results in this regard. At this point, although our country is located in a very important geographical region and has an important logistics infrastructure, it has not been able to improve its logistics service quality since 2007. According to the performance index ranking made by the World Bank every two years according to 6 different criteria, Turkey was in the 34th place in 2007, but today it has regressed to the 47th place. There are various reasons for this, but one of them is that the personnel working in the sector do not have sufficient knowledge.
The book contains all the information needed by the personnel working in the logistics sector and is a work that prepares university students for the sector. In particular, freight calculation, which is one of the most important issues in road transport, is given a special place and explained in great detail. In addition, delivery methods, payment methods and combined transportation issues were also explained in detail. It is aimed that the book will make significant contributions to all logistics personnel and students.

Adnan Özdemir, Fatma Betül Ortaköy, Hasan Bardakçı, İhsan Eken, Metin Gürler, Muhammed Fatih Cevher, Murat Düzgün, Oğuzkan Şatıroğlu, Özlem Özsoy, Safiye Çöp, Selminaz Adıgüzel, Tuğçenur Ekinci Furtana, Yonca Nilay Baş In line with the globalization phenomenon, which has gained importance today, international marketing can be defined as "determining and meeting the needs of global consumers better than domestic and international competitors and coordinating marketing activities within the framework of the limitations of the global environment." Therefore, the important difference between national marketing and international marketing is not in the marketing tools used, but in the environment in which they operate. In international marketing, since customers are in foreign countries, the product or service marketed has to cross interstate borders. This means different legal regulations, different currencies and different levels of economic development, as well as different cultural environments and structures.
The main condition for the success of the business activities carried out by the enterprises in international markets lies in the necessity of adapting to international markets. Every company participating in international marketing activities has to determine its policy in a different way than domestically. The wants and needs of customers in foreign markets are often and often very different from those in the domestic market due to their belonging to a different environment.
Since international marketing has become a general activity of themselves, businesses have to increase their own effectiveness, especially at the scale of countries and with different marketing mix applications, in order to grow and expand. This is possible by determining, applying and developing new techniques in international marketing according to needs.
In this context, in the book within the details described so far, current and new issues that may have a significant impact on the international marketing discipline are discussed and explained with a broad and perspective view, and then the results are presented to the reader by interpreting them.

Fatih Kazancı When we look at the world in general, not only conventional banks but also interest-free banks finance international (foreign) trade. Conventional banks can finance all kinds of legal goods or services with interest. Interest-free banks, on the other hand, can only mediate for goods that are halal to trade while financing international trade, and they can provide financing to international traders only with interest-free financing products. This book in your hand focuses on various interest-free financing products of interest-free banks and which interest-free financing products can support international traders. Thanks to this book, the reader will have the opportunity to learn about the development of international trade in our nearby geography, to get to know the interest-free institutions that support international trade, the types of contracts used in interest-free financing, and the current interest-free international trade finance products that have applications around the world.

Aziz Kutlar Today, econometrics has become one of the indispensable analysis tools of economics. All kinds of approaches within the scope of economic theory are subject to econometrics. One of the most important reasons for this is that this branch of science is increasingly dealing with numbers, and the second is the rapid development in computer technology. Tests and predictions of the most complex theories are finalized in a very short time by computer programs. Within the framework of these observations, this book in your hand aims to make econometric analysis, which has become boring with numbers, cute and understandable through computer programs. It is thought that such a study will be very useful for those who are too afraid of mathematics and numbers. In the book, a number of programs (PcGive, PcFiml, etc.) operating under EViews, SPSS, MINITAB, and GiveWin, which are widely used in the world and in Turkey, are included.

Neyran Orhunbilge The book presented by the author to the members of the jury as a “Professor Presentation” is the first of the 6-book Statistics Series. "Regression and Correlation Analysis", which is one of the most fundamental subjects of "statistics", which in a sense forms the basis of "Multivariate Statistical Methods", is discussed in detail in the book, which was published for the first time in 1996, for the second edition in 2002 and for the third edition in 2017.
As it is known, this analysis, which is one of the most frequently used methods in determining "Forecast and Policy" especially in Business Administration, is examined theoretically by distinguishing between population and sample in the book, the validity of the assumptions is examined, and how to find solutions for deviations from the assumptions, if any, is included. Applications are presented both with detailed solutions and as computer (SPSS Program) outputs.

This book, which highlights the application areas rather than the basic scientific approach, integrates approaches from different disciplines of psychology with social psychological approaches.
Due to the wide variety of topics, this book is grouped into four main groups: The chapters in the first part focus on the basic principles and theoretical basis of applied social psychology and aim to lay the groundwork for applications. The second part of the book; It focuses on intervention programs developed to solve social problems such as migration, poverty, inequalities, conflict, consumption and social security. Third part; It includes chapters that highlight the role of social psychology in developing practice in areas such as health, education, business, law, politics, environment, sports and traffic. The last part consists of sections dealing with the cooperation between clinical psychology approaches, which is the traditional application area of ​​psychology, and social psychology approaches.

Feyyaz Cengiz Dikmen Many useful methods for data analysis have been developed in the field of statistics, and most of these methods are ready and waiting to be used in R. Interest in R language(m) is increasing day by day as it makes it possible to access many resources and data on the internet. The data to be used in practice is also very important, especially for understanding a statistical analysis. In addition to the datasets built in the R language, every web page describing statistical data analysis using the R language also includes application data. This leads to an easy comprehension of the R language. Another advantage of the R language is that high quality graphics can be obtained by easily installing various graphics software packages into the R environment. It is also free and flexible since it is open-source. Authors of new statistical methods contribute regularly to many libraries in R, so R is a living language.
With these features, it is a unique software for undergraduate, graduate or doctoral students. It is a very enjoyable, attractive and indispensable language for those who work in the fields of statistics and econometrics, as it has a wide range of resources and is easily accessible. This book aims to spread, popularize and support the use of the R programming language within the framework of the above-mentioned motives and is designed for all scientists who need to analyze data on their own. Intended for practitioners faced with data analysis, this book is practice-oriented in this respect. I hope that the book, in which the writing of mathematics is reduced as much as possible, and more attention is drawn to examples and intuition, will be useful...

Gönül Budak Competence-Based Human Resource Management was first used in developed countries, especially in recent years. Although the concept of competence was introduced in the world in the 1960s, the implementation of Competency-Based Human Resources Management is very recent. Especially in our developing country, thanks to foreign investments and companies with foreign partners, domestic companies have had the opportunity to get to know this new approach and system and to see its benefits and apply it.
On the one hand, our businesses' desire to make a difference while seeking competitive advantage, on the other hand, the pressures of the legislation regulating business life and adopted in the European Union harmonization process, humanistic approaches to the employees and the pursuit of peace in the workplace and thus increasing efficiency and productivity are very important in the spread of the competence-oriented approach to human resources. played a role.

In addition, the classic human resources management functions in the book have been enriched by adding a competence-based management vision.

Cantürk Kayahan The power of financial information is also closely related to the concepts of management and sustainability. Because the managers' ability to build a better future depends on creating a good financial infrastructure for their businesses. This book is a study of finance concepts and applications for managers. Especially in today's world where global trends accelerate and come to the fore, many issues such as economic indicators, interest rates, investments, financial analyzes, risk management and the economic outlook of the world from past to present, which should be focused and monitored by managers, have been tried to be created and explained with a detailed inquiry. Let's not forget that the future will come one day. For this, our young people, who will be the architects of the future, and the success-oriented managers of today's world, need applications enriched with a strong theoretical perspective more than ever. We both feel sad and think that we have lost our future, especially when we see that projects with poor financial infrastructure are lost at the first difficulty encountered. Ultimately, one of the things every manager should focus on is a strong financial plan and a cash flow continuity that can work effectively for every eventuality. It should not be forgotten that everyone can be a manager today and in the future, but those who develop themselves with a leader-oriented and knowledge-based understanding will be those who are remembered and left a mark in the memory of the institution. Maybe you can manage your financial risks and take strategic steps for a better future with this book.

Nihat Aytürk In principle, the management of goods and services produced in all public institutions and businesses is based on knowledge and science; management of people depends on knowledge, skills and experience. Therefore, management is scientific; management is a skill-based artistic function and activity. Every manager has to be knowledgeable in the science of management and the art of management, to train and improve himself in this regard in order to be successful.
However, in organizational life, the field of business of managers is mostly human. Because the goods and services produced in every organization are realized by people (employees) and offered to people. Therefore, organizational success depends on the successful management of the employees as well as the effective and efficient management of the goods and services produced. Successfully managing employees in an organization (institution and business); that satisfies them in their work and workplace; A manager who also produces goods and services effectively and efficiently is a real leader. However, humans are the most difficult psychosocial beings in the world to manage. Therefore, managing people is a difficult art based on knowledge, skills and experience: The Art of Management.
The book ARTS OF MANAGEMENT, written by the author as a result of his experience in bureaucratic, diplomatic and academic management as a management science and public administration expert of 40 years, was renewed in accordance with contemporary scientific developments in its 7th edition and improved with the addition of 9 more chapters. It is also enriched with photographs suitable for the subjects, which are explained in detail with examples and case studies in order to apply the principles and procedures.
We believe that when you read this book and apply the suggested principles and methods, there will be a positive development in your management and business life and will contribute to your success. Our goal is for You to be a successful “leading manager” in your organization or business.
