Teknolojik gelişmeler sosyo-kültürel ve ekonomik koşullardaki değişimler, iletişim paradigmalarını, markaların iş yapış biçimlerini ve hedef kitleleriyle ilişkilerini değiştirmiştir. İnternetle doğup büyüyen yeni nesil tüketiciler, gelişen dijital teknolojiler ile hem iş hem de özel hayatlarını şekillendirmeye başlamışlardır. Bu değişimin doğal bir sonucu olarak reklam, halkla ilişkiler ve pazarlama alanında büyük bir dönüşüm yaşanmıştır. Dijital ortamlarda fikir, ürün veya hizmetlerin yeni platformlar üzerinden ilgili hedef kitleye iletilmesi olarak tanımlanan dijital pazarlama iletişimi ise yeni ve birleştirici bir kavram olarak ortaya çıkmıştır. Bu noktada, tüketicilerle çift yönlü iletişim akışı kurulmasını; markaların tanıtılmasını ve satışın artırılmasını destekleyen dijital pazarlama iletişiminin doğru yönetilmesi kurumlar açısından oldukça önemlidir.

Bu kitabın amacı, dijital çağda yeni nesil tüketicilere ulaşmanın anahtarlarından biri olan dijital pazarlama iletişimi alanına katkı sağlamaktır. Bu bağlamda kitapta; dijital marka yönetimi, dijital pazarlama iletişimi, dijital siyasal kampanya yönetimi, nöro pazarlama, viral pazarlama, dijital iletişimde yer markalama, sosyal medya ve dijital halkla ilişkiler gibi konulara açıklık getirilmiştir.

The determinants of local government performance have long been of interest, and have been empirically investigated in a number of recent studies. A general question in this area is: why have some local governments across the countries achieved high rates of performance whilst the others remained at lower levels? Evidence from the relevant literature indicates that some local governments or municipalities, particularly in developed countries, achieve very good performance. Others, in particular those from underdeveloped or developing, have very little or almost no performance.

This research empirically investigates the budgeting conditions in North Cyprus and evaluate how budgeting conditions vary from one municipality to the other in the five major municipalities; Lefkosa, Magusa, Girne, Guzelyurt and Iskele over the period 2004Q1 to 2012Q4. Two types of methodologies are conducted. First; it empirically investigates the determinants of local government deficit by using cointegration techniques. The Johansen co-integration and The Vector Error Correction model (VECM) are applied to test the effect of each element such as own-source revenue, grants, expenditures and debt services on the budget deficit. Second, the study test the convergence hypothesis if similar regions within the country converge to the same long-run steady state by considering five major Cypriot municipalities in the North Cyprus economy.

The results from the empirical analysis on budget deficit findings show that there is evidence of a long-run relationship between general deficit and its determinants. The evidence of causality is found from expenditure and debt to general deficit for Lefkosa municipality. There is unidirectional causality from grant and revenue through deficit for Magusa municipality. Third empirical analysis on convergence introduced that the municipalities with the lowest number of people per staff, commonly diverge from the group mean.

During the 19th century, British diplomacy towards the Ottoman Empire was based on rejuvenating and revitalising the administration system with a series of social and political reforms. Although British attitudes began to transform during the Near Eastern Crisis of 1876-8 and the Anglo-Ottoman alliance was interrupted, the policy changed dramatically on the eve of the First World War.Nonetheless, major events such as the Chanak Crisis in the British Cabinet, the occupation of Constantinople and Smyrna and finally the Turkish Nationalist Movementunder the leadership of Mustafa Kemal Ataturk effected the dynamics of Anglo-Ottoman relations. This book examines the ground of these policies and analyses how thisstorm was over in British foreign policies towards Turkey between 1918 and 1923.
