Osman Okka Although there are publications on verbal financial management in Turkey, there is a great deficiency in digital financial management. This study, which is prepared to compensate for this deficiency to some extent, includes more than 1,300 solved problems and tries to ensure that finance is experienced live in the company. Today, financial management education in our universities should be numerical, not verbal, as a requirement of the job. It is also clear that a financial education that is not pedagogically involved in company activities, cannot analyze and evaluate financial events, and is not effective in determining financial policies is not sufficient. The purpose of this book; It is to show the student and the reader how to solve simplified financial problems and to give sufficient financial knowledge on the relevant subject. While the theoretical information in the book was aimed to be at the basic level, it was thought to be at a very advanced level and the theoretical knowledge was concentrated in the book. The second purpose of the book is to prepare for the Financial Management Case Studies book. At the end of the book, the problems were emphasized and after the questions were solved, different orientation questions were asked for the student to test himself.

Fatih Erkoç, Mehmet Tekdal, Ömer Faruk Ursavaş, Özden Şahin İzmirli, Sabiha Yeni, Serhat Bahadır Kert, Serkan İzmirli, Şenol Saygıner, Zehra Taşpınar Şener In the book, primarily the concepts of computational thinking and problem solving, which form the basis of today's computer education studies, are emphasized. After the first steps towards the creation of a good thinking system, technical content was introduced with algorithms and flowcharts. The focus is on hardware and software concepts, fundamentals of operating systems, computer system and file management, and physical competencies for the management and organization of an information system. Software applications were introduced with utilities, and then the contents for office programs were presented. Desktop publishing, database management and web design are explained with their basic features as three separate application areas of productivity. The relationship between education and computer has been examined over the internet, and this point of view has been tried to be supported with communication and cooperation technologies. In the last chapters, the focus is on the concepts of ethics and safety, and the effects of computers and the Internet on children, who are a part of the digital world from an early age, are questioned. When all the topics are considered together, it can be stated that a comprehensive content is presented in the book for pre-service teachers to have the basic information technology competencies they will need in their professional lives.

Ejder Ayçin "Multi-Criteria Decision Making" methods, which support decision makers at all levels in decision-making processes to make more effective and correct decisions in solving the problems encountered, are discussed in detail in this book.
In the second edition of the book; 20 different methods, which are widely used in the literature, are included with their theoretical explanation and current application examples. In the solution of sample applications, package programs such as Super Decisions, M-MACBETH, VISUAL PROMETHEE, QM for Windows, EMS and MS Excel were used. By explaining 28 different sample applications, each step of the solution is supported with screenshots, it is aimed to understand the methods in the best way by the reader.
It is thought that the book will be an important resource especially for researchers studying at graduate and doctorate level, academics working in the field of quantitative decision making, and all decision makers who use scientific methods in decision-making processes.
Gülay Demir, Ahmet Turan Özyalçın, Hüdaverdi Bircan In order to produce an effective and rational solution to decision-making problems, the purpose of the task should be clearly formulated, a set of criteria should be defined, and the selected criteria should be weighted with the most appropriate method. It should be analyzed with scientific-based multi-criteria decision-making methods that allow researchers to choose the most effective and most appropriate solution among the available alternatives.
This book has several features. First, it will help researchers or decision makers find the necessary methods for the problems they need to analyze, by categorizing the methods as those that weight criteria and those that rank alternatives. Secondly, those who want to gain in-depth information about a particular method can access the "general information" section of each method. Third, a total of 27 methods used for weighting and ranking were solved with the developed MCDM software. It is thought that this will have two great benefits for the reader. By combining information and theoretical content, readers can easily see how the method works in practice through the example. They can also facilitate the decision-making processes they have to solve by seeing how the method can be used in practice. Fourth, they can benefit from the answers of the exercises solved by signing up on the website established as an online platform, and they can reach the solution of any decision problem within seconds by entering a new problem and using 27 methods defined in the system.

Examined methods: AHP, ANP, DEMATEL, ELECTRE, PROMETHEE, TOPSIS, VIKOR, MOORA, ENTROPI, COPRAS, SWARA, WASPAS, SMAA, GRA, MABAC, ORESTE, TODIM, ARAS, EDAS, CODAS, MACBETH. In the book, the theoretical part of these methods, which are widely used in MLKV, are explained in detail and their applications with MS Excel solutions for real problems are given. Applications can be easily accessed from the publisher's website. Although there are free/paid software for some MLKV methods, it is beneficial for the readers to examine the applications with MS Excel solutions after absorbing the theoretical part. Applications with MS Excel solutions, which are presented with the book, can be developed specifically for the problem, for applications to be made with methods that do not currently have existing software. For methods with software, researchers/managers who have completed this process can easily interpret and analyze the results of the software.

“Multi-Criteria Decision Making Methods: MS Excel® Solutions for Applications I consider one of the most comprehensive books ever published in this field. There are 22 chapters in the book, which are covered in a wide range from the most known and used methods to many new methods developed in recent years and prepared by experts in the subject. The presence of solved problems prepared on current issues in each chapter adds a special value to the book. I am really pleased that such a qualified study has been prepared in the Turkish language of science.
The editor of the book, Prof. Dr. Mehmet Kabak and Assoc. Dr. I congratulate Yetkin Çınar for his success in bringing together experts working on multi-criteria decision making at different universities. I congratulate the authors of the chapters, each of which has been prepared successfully, for their contributions to the Turkish scientific world. I would like to thank all the referees who contributed to the preparation of the book.”

“Decision making is a process of selection and qualification that people face at every moment. There is a serious need for a systematic analytical flow, depending on the size of the decision under consideration. In addition, considering the decision problem together with the criteria in the ecosystem and evaluating it in terms of these criteria is of great importance in terms of the accuracy and validity of the decision. Within the scope of this book; The systematic handling of the decision process, the determination of the most appropriate method and its evaluation with a systematic analytical flow have been successfully handled with real-life applications. In particular, analytical decision-making approaches are explained in a detailed and understandable way. I think that the book will be an important reference source for every evaluator who will take part in the decision process, and it will be a masterpiece for students who want to examine this process.”

In order to understand the problems of the financial manager and the role of finance theory correctly and to be able to make accurate financial decisions about the company in today's world dominated by extreme competition and high capital costs, our students and readers should closely see financial management problems taken from real life and turned into case studies and They need to find solutions to these problems. According to our research, students perceive, formulate, prepare for a solution, take the right decision by solving, and have difficulty in risk management, a financial problem they encounter in real life, starting from the textbooks or small financial problems in the books. For this reason, these case studies are; It is prepared for our readers to see themselves in the virtual environment of the company, to penetrate deeply into financial management problems, to develop alternative solutions and to improve their ability to make the right decision, that is, it acts as a finance simulator for financiers.
Osman Okka The aim of the book is to give financial issues related to financial management, its basic principles in a simplified way in a systematic way and to help students by supporting the theory with problems.
The problems and case studies in the book are generally taken from real life. Thanks to these problems, students will become accustomed to how to address and solve a private financial problem when faced with a real-life financial problem. In addition to the book problems, financial purpose, statements, depreciation, taxes, cash flows and financial mathematics, environment, analysis and control, forecasting, planning, profit-cost-volume relations, measures to strengthen the financial structure, working capital management, long-term investment decisions in companies, capital budgeting, compilation of bonds and stocks, risk and return analysis, capital cost and structure decisions, long-term financing alternatives, short-medium-long-term debt sources, debt management.
Tülin Şendur World trade is an indispensable element for the needs, quality of life and welfare of humanity, and the indispensable part of world trade is transportation systems, which are the most important part of the logistics sector. Maritime transport is the only option as the cheapest freight transport in transportation systems, in intercontinental distances, in large volumes. Today, 90% of world trade is carried out by sea.
In the first part of the book, general features of maritime transport, maritime transport in the world and in Turkey, fleet analysis, maritime transport types, cargo and ship types, freight market, international maritime organizations, in the second part, ship chartering and commercial operation, charter agreements and freight In the third part, a research and solution proposals for the determination of the ship management problems in dry cargo transportation in Turkey, in the fourth part; In order to ensure trouble-free ship management, a case study analysis of the connection and operation stages of a dry cargo ship is included, and in the fifth section, sample applications on demurrage-dispatch calculations are given.
Due to the fact that ship management is an international and specific business, English professional abbreviations and jargon are used as the language of correspondence, even if the parties are Turkish companies during the chartering process and ship operation, which is called ship connection. Subjects such as ship management and brokerage, which have been taught in universities in London since the beginning of the 1900s, have only been partly taught in the logistics departments of our universities in recent years. Considering that it can be a good resource as a desktop vocational guide book for both university students and employees who have just stepped into the sector, English professional abbreviations and jargon are used in the correspondence between the parties in the case study analysis, and the English abbreviation of the abbreviations and their Turkish translation are included in parentheses.
Kahraman Çatı There is no doubt that education is the most fundamental factor in the development of entrepreneurship and innovation.

Therefore, it is necessary to increase the necessary materials for entrepreneurship education.
In this book titled Entrepreneurship and Innovation Management, basic topics such as the concept of entrepreneurship, entrepreneurship culture, ethics in entrepreneurship, business modeling and innovation management are explained in detail. In addition, the book covers the types of entrepreneurship and the management, marketing and finance issues that an entrepreneur must know.
Entrepreneurship and Innovation Management book will be of great benefit to people who will start new businesses, business people who need an innovative perspective to develop their business, and people who want to think innovatively at every stage of life.
Kaan Zülfikar Deniz Although statistics is a very easy field to learn, the learner's own affective barriers can prevent learning. When we look at those who have problems in learning statistics, it is seen that most of these individuals have had negative experiences in numerical or statistics courses in the past.
This work, named Statistical, provides a practical learning resource for researchers, academicians and students working in both social sciences and other fields of science, without overwhelming the learner with statistical formulas. A self-resource has been created for all the information needed for introduction to statistics and the application of fundamental analysis.
The first part of the book has a structure that is explained simply and reinforced with real-life examples. The statistical information in the first part forms the basis of the subjects in the second part. In the second part, the introduction of the SPSS program, the explanation for all statistical analysis, the visual processing steps of the SPSS application of the relevant subject, the introduction of the SPSS results, the tabulation and interpretation parts in accordance with the APA format, which is frequently used in social sciences. In addition to these, the most common mistakes in the relevant statistics at the end of each topic and the special situations that the researcher may encounter and the solution proposals, which consist of their solution suggestions, are in the nature of answers to the questions that most researchers cannot find answers to. The book aims to provide permanent learning as a whole and systematically.
Bülent Yılmaz This course book has been prepared on the basis of the content of the courses taught under the name of Statistics, General Statistics and Introduction to Statistics in Education Faculties, Science and Literature Faculties and Vocational Schools (Health Vocational Schools).
In the first chapter, the concepts of statistics and graphics, series and frequency curves are emphasized. In the next chapters, probability and probability function, expected values and moments, distribution theory, correlation and regression are studied with extensive examples.
Burak Birgören 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.
Osman OKKA 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.
Gülay Budak, Gönül Budak 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.
Adil Oğuzhan, Aylin Alın, Deniz İnan, Dilek Altaş, Emel Kuruoğlu Kandemir, Ersin Kıral, Gülin Tabakan, Gülsen Kıral, Handan Yolsal, Latif Öztürk, Nazif Çalış, Özlem Akay, Özlem Türkşen, Özlem Yorulmaz, Seda Şengül 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.
Nihal Erginel In this book, which is prepared as a handbook for all engineers working or considering working on quality; Quality concepts and techniques, total quality management, risk-based process management, basic and strategic problem solving techniques, statistical process control initiation and quality control graphics, process capability indexes, acceptance sampling issues are explained and reinforced with examples. In addition, the error type and effects analysis, which is an error prevention tool, the spread of the quality function for detecting the customer voice, and the six sigma approach, which reveals a philosophy about reducing the variability in the processes, are written in a simplicity that engineers can understand and apply, and detailed with examples.
This book, designed as a handbook for quality engineers, is also the main work to be taught in quality control and related courses at the university level.
M. Hakan Keskin This work, named 'LOGISTICS HANDBOOK', is the fourth edition of the Turkish version of a project that consists of five books [in Turkish and English]. This study in your hand includes 'Deconstruction of Logistics' in which the academic dimension of logistics is handled, 'Background of Logistics' in which the historical dimension of logistics is given, and 'Winning Logistics: ', 'Logistics in Turks and in Turkey', in which the logistics operations of the Turks, who could not find a place in foreign sources despite their extraordinary successes since their existence, are discussed, 'International Logistics', which gives the details of the logistics that is globalizing with increasing momentum and crossing national borders. It consists of five Turkish books.
During the preparation of this edition, since the volume of the third book titled 'Winning Logistics: TZY', which is more comprehensive than the other four, increased too much to be included in this work, the book in question was published as a separate book by NOBEL AKADEMIK PUBLISHING, with the title SUPPLY CHAIN ​​MANAGEMENT. In the study called Handbook, one of the most important components of logistics,
Considering that the supply chain should be mentioned in some way, the information in the mentioned book is summarized in the Third Chapter of this study.
To put it briefly, this study named 'LOGISTICS HANDBOOK' is a part of the project to create a logistics kit, which consists of two books complementing each other with SUPPLY CHAIN ​​MANAGEMENT, a textbook written in Turkish and English for Turkey, and a basic resource. . All books are given a 'Lesson' [14 weeks in accordance with the Bologna process] to be used in logistics programmes.
'Syllabus', 'Learning Objectives', 'Research and Discussion Topics' and 'Assessment Questions' were added for each section. In addition, faculty members are provided with the opportunity to access [PPT] reflections prepared to facilitate their lectures.
M. Hakan KESKİN The book in your hand aims to be a handbook that addresses all the arguments related to logistics.
The past, change and current point of the concept of logistics are discussed.
It is enriched with examples selected from important logistics operations in the past and present.
Considering the logistics-related statistics of the determining actors in the globalization process, regional and global evaluations and suggestions regarding the future of logistics were made.
Ramazan Erturgut This work aims to reveal a solid knowledge that emerged as a result of the author's 21 years of working experience in the field of logistics, as well as the researches he made during his time abroad. In the book, the concepts, principles and characteristics related to Logistics and Supply Chain Management are presented in a systematic flow. However, there has been an interest in the classification of current issues affecting the progress of Logistics and Supply Chain Management and new trends shaping research. This book also classifies the relations of Logistics and Supply Chain Management as a scientific discipline with other disciplines by supporting the citations from the leading scientific journals in this field, and thus aims to contribute to filling a gap felt in the national literature.
In the content of the book, logistics activities at the scale of enterprises and institutions are presented with a comprehensive content, in addition, logistics management with global norms, logistics strategy, logistics performance management, logistics education, structural problems of logistics and supply chain, and Logistics Management in Turkey are discussed as a separate chapter. taken. In addition, "Annotated Logistics and International Trade Terms Dictionary" and "Incoterms 2010" add-ons, which contain basic terms in both fields, are included for the benefit of those who are interested in the subject. In this respect, it is considered that the work can be a source work for those who train and train in Logistics and Supply Chain Management, as well as scientists and practitioners in the field.
A. Zafer Acar, A. Murat Köseoğlu 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.

Osman Okka 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.
Osman Okka 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.
Tahir Khaniyev - İhsan Ünver - Zafer Küçük - Tülay Kesemen In this book titled "Solution Problems in Probability Theory", we have included the original problems we have created as well as the problems in Turkish, Azerbaijani, English and mostly Russian sources. Our main aim in this study is to enrich students' mathematical thinking structures by enabling them to see as many problems as possible. We believe that this problem and exercise book, the first edition of which has been published, will be useful to all students taking probability courses.
In the first part of the book, after giving examples on “Basic Concepts of Probability Theory”, briefly permutation and combination, there are many examples suitable for n >2 dice rolls, especially among the examples suitable for the classical probability definition. In addition, examples that use probability rules related to the combination of at least two events are given weight. The probabilities of independent events, fully independent events and conditional probability, Bayes' theorem and problems complying with the total probability formulas are prepared. Finally, in the first chapter, very comprehensive geometric probability questions are solved.
The second part is devoted to discrete and continuous probability distributions. Bernoulli, binomial, discrete regular, geometric, negative binomial, hyper geometric, Poisson distributions from discrete distributions, regular, exponential, normal, Gamma, Weibull, Beta, Cauchy distributions from continuous distributions are discussed.
In the third chapter, problems on "Numerical and Functional Characteristics of Random Variables" are expressed and their solutions are presented to the reader in the form of exercises. In this section, the expected value, variance, higher order moments, moment generating and characteristic functions of random variables are examined.
We believe that it will be very useful to the faculty members who recommend this book as a supplementary book in our universities and to the students who apply to benefit from it.
Aziz Kutlar 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.
Cem Şen, Göksel Korkmaz, İrfan Akkoç, Kemal Eroğluer, Kenan Orçanlı, Korhan Arun, Levent Özdemir, Murat Görmen, Mustafa Bekmezci, Olcay Okun, Serhat Saylam, Suat Begeç, Yaşar Köse, Zafer Mehmet Fırat 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.
Erdal Nebol 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.
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. .
Salih Güney The Basic and General Business book has been written in accordance with today's business and management understanding.

The first aim is to provide systematic information to the students and teachers of the Faculty of Economics and Administrative Sciences; the second purpose is to provide basic information to those who want to open and manage a business; The third aim is to provide regular information to those who want to do academic studies in the field of business.
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.
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.
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 will be useful for university students taking the Production Planning and Control course and graduates preparing for science exams and interviews.
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...
Yüksel Koç Yalkın, Volkan Demir Budgeting process and planning systems in businesses have a great importance in management accounting practices. Because business budgets are a management planning. Operating budgets provide the management with the opportunity to confront and solve all the problems that the organization is likely to face in the future. Thus, business administrations try to keep the effects of financial and non-financial problems they may encounter at the lowest level.
