In this book, we attempt to make a comparative evaluation of modern macroeconomic schools: Monetarism and New Classical School based on the Classical System that envisage automatic full employment or natural rate of unemployment (NRU) equilibrium (AFNE or ANRUE) vs. New Keynesian and Post-Keynesian Economics based on the Keynesian System which gives unemployment equilibrium (UNE) or non-automatic NRU equilibrium (NANRUE) due to insufficiency of aggregate demand.

In order to determine which school is relevant, first the basic assumptions of these systems are compared: i) rational vs. adjusted vs. heterogeneous expectations, ii) existence of perfect competition in all markets leading to flexibility of prices and wages vs. imperfect competition giving rise to rigidities, and iii) presence or lack of coordination between markets.

In the final phase of our evaluations the performance of the developed economies are surveyed to establish whether we meet with AFNE or ANRUE or else UNE or NANRUE; and whether policy prescriptions devised by respective schools solve or alleviate the problem at hand when implemented.

Our investigations point out that New Keynesian and Post-Keynesian schools are more relevant compared to Monetarism and New Classical School. The choice between New Keynesian and Post-Keynesian Economics, however, is more difficult to make although New Keynesian Economics seems more widespread than Post-Keynesian Economics. Objectively, Post-Keynesian assumptions seem more realistic; normatively, however, New Keynesian stands seems more fit to the present day move towards globalization.

II. Meşrutiyet (1908-1918) ve dönemin temel aktörü Osmanlı İttihat ve Terakki Cemiyeti Cumhuriyet’e geçişte pek çok siyasi kurum, örgüt ve deneyim için bir laboratuar sağlamıştı. Modern siyasi kurumlar, çok partili hayat ve hatta etnik unsurlar arası birliği sürdürme denemeleri bu dönemde uygulamaya kondu. Siyasi kurum ve kadrolar, sağ-sol yönelimlerin sınırları, milliyetçilikteki dışlayıcı çizgilerin temel doğrultusu o dönemde belirginleşti. Bu deneyim olumlu ve olumsuz sonuçları ile Cumhuriyet’e aktarıldı.

Erken Cumhuriyet ile kastedilen 1923-50 arası yıllar, Cumhuriyet’in kurucusu Atatürk ile sonrası Milli Şef dönemlerine ayrılabilir. Aynı dönemi ülke içi siyaset ve dünya ile ilişkileri çok etkilediği için, 1929 krizi ile de ayırmak ve II. Dünya Savaşı sonuna kadar uzatmak mümkün görünüyor.

Mete Çetik’in çeşitli özgün yazı ve kitap eleştirilerinin derlendiği bu kitapta, II. Meşrutiyet döneminin genel siyasi ortamı, Makedon hareketi liderleri, İttihatçıların siyasi tiyatro etkinlikleri gibi başlıklar konu edilerek, farklı açılardan ele alınmaya çalışılıyor.

Erken Cumhuriyet dönemi üzerine ise, genel siyasi ortam, milliyetçilik, ırkçılık, Soğuk Savaş, üniversite tasfiyeleri ve Atatürk’ü konu eden özgün yazı ve kitap eleştirileri yer alıyor.

Zunehmenden Qualitätsanforderungen an Automobilindustrie erfordern die reibungslose Entwicklungs- und Produktionsprozesse. Um die Entwicklungs- und Produktionsprozesse perfekt zu gestalten, die Fehler vorzubeugen und somit die Qualität sicherzustellen, müssen Automobilzulieferer Methoden und Werkzeug des Qualitätsmanagement anwenden. In diesem Kontext bafasst sich dieses Buch mit den Qualitätsmanagementsystemen und den Techniken von Qualitätsmanagement. Auf Basis der einschlägigen Literatur wurden die Bedeutung der Qualität, Qualitätsmanagement,  Qualitätsmanagementsysteme und deren Entstehung und geschichtliche Entwicklung dargestellt. Des weiteren wurden die bereits existierenden Managementmodelle und Konzepte beschrieben und erörtert. Weiteres wurden die QM-Techniken herausgearbeitet.

Globalization and related technological developments have increased competition and put organizations in a struggle to survive in an extremely difficult market condition. Organizations adopt their technologies and infrastructures to today’s conditions to gain a sustainable competitive advantage and maintain their existence. However, all these efforts of organizations are easily imitated by rival companies and may cause the loss of competitive advantage.

The resource-based view provides additional information that strategic human resource is the scarce, valuable, inimitable and non-substitutable resources of organizations, thus enabling them to gain a competitive advantage. According to this view, the competitive advantage of the organization is achieved by combining valuable internal resources. Nowadays, sustainable competitive advantage is provided not by environmental factors or physical capital but by human capital (employees) efficiency. In this context, the attitudes and behaviors of employees who make up human resources are important for their organizational success. Many studies emphasize that positive attitudes and behaviors (e.g. innovative work behavior, work engagement, job satisfaction) in employees have important contributions to the success of the organization, while similarly negative attitudes and behaviors (e.g. organizational silence, turnover intention) are one of the main reasons for the failure of the organization.

In our book, literature has been created on the definition, antecedents, and organizational results of new and current concepts that are newly conceptualized in the literature and are still in their infancy. It is considered that this cumulative literature within the book will be a source for future studies on these subjects and will provide important insights for practitioners.
