The appearance and versatile structure of digital commerce (e-business) is increasing its importance day by day. Digital human resources management forms the basis for this increasing importance in various digital applications that transform today's businesses, such as accounting, marketing, production management and general business management. Artificial intelligence (AI) technologies are beginning to be used for their profound impact on labor and employment dynamics, with potential for both job displacement and job creation. The impact of computerized automation on unemployment rates and the emergence of new professions supported by artificial intelligence-driven productivity gains are being carefully followed in all sectors. Overall, valuable information is addressed regarding the evolving pipeline of digital businesses and their intersection with artificial intelligence technologies in reshaping employment paradigms and organizational strategies.

Purpose: The main purpose of examining innovation development (ID), technology management (TM) and big data analytics capability (BDAC) from the perspective of information technology companies is to help these companies optimize their business strategies and increase their competitiveness. When these concepts are considered together, it is aimed to present suggestions that information technology companies can increase their innovation capacities, optimize their technology portfolios and develop their big data analytics capacities.
Design/methodology/approach: Data were collected from information technology companies working on big data analytics in technoparks in Istanbul. In the research, the Marmara region of Turkey was preferred because it is the region where the information technology sector is most common. In total, 503 questionnaires were collected. SmartPLS (4.0.8.4) licensed software was used in the research, and the results are presented with tables and figures.
Findings: As a result of the analysis of the data, it is supported by hypotheses that ID and TM have positive effects as independent variables and BDAC has positive effects as both independent and mediation variables.
Research limitations/implications: In terms of the limitations of the research, since the data were collected only from the information technology companies in the technoparks in Istanbul, it would not be correct to generalize the analysis results. For this reason, it is recommended to develop a research model and contribute to the literature by considering this limited situation for similar studies to be conducted in the future.
Practical implications: By focusing on ID, it is important for companies to analyze their innovation processes and increase their ID capacity. On the subject of TM, analyses help companies identify their current technological infrastructure and development needs and optimize their technology portfolios. Big data analytics is an important tool that companies can use in their decision-making processes. Therefore, analyses of big data analytics can evaluate companies' current data analytics capacities and offer improvement suggestions.
Originality/value: So why are ID, TM and BDAC important? Why should a research model be developed to examine the effects of these variables? This situation can be understood by looking at the investments made by two world-class companies with headquarters in Istanbul/Turkey. L'Oréal Turkey integrates big data, cloud computing, artificial intelligence and digital platforms into its business processes by investing in new technologies and also makes a difference with innovation in environmental sustainability and social responsibility. PepsiCo, on the other hand, placed a great emphasis on innovation by opening its third Design and Innovation Center in Turkey and Europe in Istanbul. For this reason, examining the effects of ID, TM and big data analytics together in the research is important for the originality of the research. Examining these variables by focusing on their interactions and effects increases the originality of the subject.

The acceleration of technological advances has significantly improved sectoral efficiency and provided service providers the opportunity to produce an unprecedented variety of products and services. As a result, more supply has started to form in a growing number of sectors than demand. As the liberalization rate in trade increased with the influence of global organizations such as the World Trade Organization and regional organizations such as the European Union, the brand addiction and product price differences decreased, and the logic of monopoly began to disappear with the effective competition of those who challenged the markets and leading organizations. For this reason, although the importance of strategy and innovation is emphasized in the study, it focuses on the strategic importance and technological innovation capabilities of innovation, and criticisms are made in terms of strategic management.

The effort to respond flexibly to the changing business environment and customers’ demands constantly puts pressure on innovation. For this reason, research purpose to examine the effects of learning capabilities and market orientation in logistics companies during the pandemic.
Design/methodology/approach:
In this research, a quantitative method was adopted and partial least squares structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM) was applied. The research is based on four variables. A conceptual research model was established through literature review and the model was tested. Within the scope of this research, A sample of 544 participants was taken to construct and test the model, and a 39-statement scale was presented to them. After presenting the reliability and validity values on the model, hypotheses were tested. Analyses were conducted using Smart-PLS 3.3 software.
Findings:
As a result of the research conducted in logistics companies, the positive effects of learning orientation on performance outputs and the positive effects of market orientation as both a mediator and an independent variable show that these concepts are important for company management.
Research limitations/implications:
Considering the limitations of the research, it would be wrong to generalize the results of the analysis for different sectors because the data were collected from experts working in logistics companies. Therefore, it is necessary to make evaluations taking into account the limitations of the research. In future studies, it is recommended to make comparisons with research in different sectors, taking into account the limitations, and to enrich the literature with more research in this area.
Practical implications:
Because of the importance of logistics activities seen in all countries with the pandemic period, it can be explained as a result of the analyses that the performance outputs are positively affected by the learning orientation, the companies’ adaptation to continuous change and development and their emphasis on market orientation at the same time.
Originality/value:
The research is an original study as it analyzes the effects of learning orientations of logistics companies on the problems and opportunities experienced in the supply and distribution channel along with the pandemic process.

Many studies have proven that innovation performance is an important factor that increases corporate’s performance. In this context, companies need to be successful in innovation management, and they need to innovate. The technological turbulence that may occur in the sector where the companies are located will affect the innovation performance negatively if the companies fail to manage innovation. As a result of factors such as increasing competitive pressure with globalization, the elimination of time and space obstacles of technology, expanding purchasing alternatives, and increasing awareness levels, the newest products bring the highest revenues. These developments have led to a dramatic increase in the importance of developing new products as a competitive weapon, making product innovation an important element of the organizational strategy. Therefore, innovation strategies to be implemented and dynamic skills that are owned are needed to be managed correctly by companies. In this study, innovation management, technological turbulence, innovation strategies, and dynamic capabilities are examined.

The ever-increasing performance of corporations is evidenced by the leadership roles of top managers and the applied human resources policies. The dissatisfaction experienced by the employees in the institutions, the attitudes and behaviors of the leaders on the employees, and also the life of the institutions. At the same time, the increase in the employment turnover rate in institutions can lead to a decrease in the performance of the institution, can bring out the cost factor and cause the training given to the employees to be inconclusive. It is important that senior management should make contributions to the decisions and leadership roles that will be made by the senior management. The sample of the study constitutes 323 white-collar workers in the private and public sector in Central Anatolia. After the factorial and reliability analyzes were performed in the bulldular IBM SPSS 23 program, hypotheses were tested and analyzed by regression analysis.

To provide a better and happier society, the framework of certain principles and the history of the concept of ethics aims to direct the people's behaviours constituting that society. The first known philosophers discussed the concept of ethics at that time. The continuation of discussions about ethics to the present day shows that the importance of the image in human life has never changed and has not lost its actuality. In fact, it isn't easy to show a specific and bordered area of business ethics. In this case, it is possible to narrow the definition of business ethics by excluding some important elements or extending it to a wide area that is completely encompassing. In this study, the historical importance of business ethics and human resources are evaluated.

E-commerce brings companies and customers together in an exchange market environment, beyond any physical, cultural, and legal boundaries, and on an unimaginable scale, which was considered to be technically impossible before. The companies' online facilities have been improved and become accessible to everyone through smart phones, tablets, etc. as the web pages and social networks started to direct individuals towards e-commerce. E-commerce not only raises economic concerns related to competition and pricing, but also reveals new social and environmental threats that can be quite widespread and viral. Several studies have been conducted to examine the transformation of traditional business models into e-businesses, the impact of e-commerce businesses on traditional business activities, or opportunities brought by technological innovations. For this reason, the effects of the competitive strategies will be explained in terms of ensuring sustainable competitive advantage within e-commerce companies.

Logistics companies played a vital role in the supply and distribution of products in a timely and effective manner during the COVID-19 pandemic. The research sought to know how financial authorities in these companies managed the financial process and how they approached resolving issues due to the economic and financial problems experienced during the COVID-19 pandemic. Using data from 30 experts from the accounting-finance departments of logistics companies, we found that the COVID-19 pandemic caused a decrease in revenues of the logistics companies in Turkey and increased demands for loan payments before their maturity date. According to this study, the most important factors affecting logistics companies during this health crisis were unpredictable changes in exchange rates, currency depreciation (Turkish lira), and increased rental fees. Through this research, we learned how the economic and financial problems experienced by logistics companies were managed by financial experts during the COVID-19 pandemic.

PurposeThe aim of this study is to evaluate the relationship between innovative climate, strategic orientation, work motivation, business performance and job performance.Design/methodology/approachWithin the scope of the research, a survey was conducted with 400 engineers working in organizations operating within companies producing spare parts for automobile companies. IBM SPSS 25, IBM SPSS AMOS and LISREL programs were gradually used, and the data obtained were evaluated and analyzed.FindingsThe importance of strategic orientation and work motivation for organizations can be seen in the analysis results in terms of their positive effects.Practical implicationsIn the production sector, where innovation and competition activities take place, not only strategic decisions but also motivation for employees must be realized within the organizational culture in order for the organizations to be successful. Strategic orientation is effective in achieving innovation and creation to the extent that employees are motivated.Originality/valueIn terms of successful performance, it is very important to manage companies with the right strategic understanding and to involve the employees. In order to realize the innovation climate and to be successful in performance criteria, motivation is considered a key factor, in particular for the automobile sector. Automobile companies are now turning to electric vehicle production using new generation technologies. However, they also attach importance to the use of smart technologies in cars. For this reason, the effects of strategic orientation and work motivation on performance and innovation are investigated in companies producing automobile spare parts.

Aritificial intelligence (AI)-focused enterprises purpose to provide value-creating and differentiated products and services using innovative technologies. For this reason, it is aimed to examine the effects of value creation, intellectual property and organizational creativity variables to make evaluations to increase the success of such enterprises.
Design/methodology/approach:
Random sampling method was used in the research. The population of the research consists of AI-oriented enterprises in technoparks. On the specified days, short-term visits and surveys were conducted face-to-face. Name and similar personal information was not taken in the research and participation was made on a voluntary basis. A sample size of 500 units is a sufficient size at the 0.05 significance level. SmartPLS (4.0.8.4) licensed software was used in the research.
Findings:
As a result of the collected data, it has been supported by hypotheses that value creation, intellectual property and organizational creativity have positive effects so that artificial intelligence-oriented enterprises can be successful in performance criteria.
Research limitations/implications:
Since the research was conducted by collecting data from artificial intelligence-oriented enterprises in technoparks in Istanbul, it would not be correct to evaluate the analysis results by making generalizations. For this reason, it is recommended that similar studies planned to be conducted in the future should contribute to the literature by developing the research model, taking into account the limited situation in the sample.
Practical implications:
According to the results of the analysis of the effects of value creation, intellectual property and organizational creativity in artificial intelligence-oriented enterprises, in order to increase the success of such enterprises, they should offer more value to their customers, protect their technologies and increase their innovation capacity.
Originality/value:
Value creation, intellectual property, and organizational creativity in AI-focused enterprises are important topics in a rapidly growing industry such as AI-focused enterprises. Therefore, a research investigating these variables together offers a different perspective than previous studies.

Purpose
The purpose of this paper is to analyze the relationship of the organization and whether employees in the companies operating in the textile sector receive leadership support when they experience depression.
Design/methodology/approach
Data were obtained from personnel working in textile companies in organized industrial zones located within five provinces: Istanbul, Ankara, Bursa, Izmir and Antalya (defined as industrial cities of Turkey). The reason for choosing these companies was related to the question of whether the mental state of the personnel may have had an impact on the success of the company, especially as the textile industry works with more manpower and knowledge due to the nature of the job. The moderation relationship of leadership support to the relationship of this situation on organizational culture and organizational commitment was analyzed using the SmartPLS program.
Findings
As a result of the analyzes, it was determined that the depression of the employees weakens the organizational commitment, thereby leading to a negative relationship within the organizational culture. But, with leadership support, the organizational commitment increases and the organizational culture is positively affected.
Research limitations/implications
As the research was conducted in companies in the textile sector in Istanbul, this limitation should be taken into account in future research. In addition, as data is collected from white-collar employees in the administrative staff position (the sample group), this situation should also be taken into account. Considering the questions asked in the questionnaire, it is recommended that future research be conducted on blue-collar workers.
Practical implications
It can be concluded that the leadership role is an important factor for organizations to prevent employees from being depressed and employees should receive positive support to ensure organizational commitment. At the same time, it can be concluded that the organizational culture is positively affected if the depression of the employees has decreased.
Originality/value
The research is an original study in terms of investigating the relationship of depression status to the leadership support of employees working in textile companies in an environment where competition is consistently intense.

Task-oriented leadership has a significant impact on whether employees in organizations fulfill their duties as desired by the top management. The task-oriented leader plays an important role in the fulfillment of the tasks assigned to the employees, thanks to the communication and interaction he establishes with the employees. With this relationship that task-oriented leadership has established with employees, it can be thought that both organizational emotional memory and corporate emotional memory will be positively affected. While corporate emotional memory is the transfer of the memory that has been formed within the company independently of the individuals with the effect of institutionalization, organizational emotional memory is accepted as the memory transferred by the individuals forming the organization with their own knowledge. Therefore, the effect of the taskoriented leader in the formation of organizational and corporate emotional memory, thanks to the transfer of memory in the management of the company independently from the individuals and the interaction of the individuals forming the organization with each other, is tested with hypotheses in the research. At the same time, the development of institutionalism and organizational environment can create commitment to the organization in employees. For this reason, the effects on organizational commitment are also examined in the research. In the research, data were collected from experts who have been working in banks with their headquarters in Istanbul for at least 10 years, and analyzes were made. Looking at the results of the analysis, it was supported by the hypotheses that the task oriented leadership, the organizational emotional memory and the corporate emotional memory have positive effects on the organizational commitment. Considering the limited situation of the research, it is suggested that since the data were collected from experts who have been working for at least 10 years from banks with their headquarters in Istanbul, this limited situation should be evaluated in future research.

Relationship-oriented leadership in organizations is an important factor for employees to have an egalitarian approach, to be solution and communication- oriented in their problems, to adopt positive feelings towards their organizations and to show creative activities in fulfilling their responsibilities towards their organizations. Relationship-oriented leaders can increase their innovative activities by sharing their power with their employees. However, with the sharing of this power, the sense of responsibility of the employees can also increase. For this reason, it is necessary to pay attention to the fact that this increased responsibility is to increase the creative and innovative activities of the employees. In other words, it is necessary for employees to expand their areas of responsibility where they can better use their knowledge related to their areas of expertise, or to have areas where they can fulfill their responsibilities. However, the knowledge of the employees who make up the organization is very important for organizational emotional memory. Thanks to the sharing of the knowledge of the organization from the past among the employees, it should be possible to carry out innovative activities for the future. In this context, organizational innovation must be sustainable in order for organizations to be successful against their competitors in an intense competitive environment. If organizational innovation cannot be realized, the life of the organization will be short in the sector it is in. In other words, due to the inability to realize innovation, the organization will have to gradually shrink and then end its activities. In this context, the research was conducted by collecting data from experts working in energy companies that make renewable energy investments in Istanbul. Looking at the results of the analysis, it is supported by the hypotheses that relationship oriented leadership and organizational emotional memory have a positive effect on organizational innovativeness. Since the data in the research were collected from energy companies investing in the field of renewable energy, whose headquarters are located in Istanbul, it should be evaluated by considering this limited situation in future research.

For the research, data were collected from senior managers working in jointly established export-oriented ventures. The reason for choosing these initiatives is to examine whether partnership capabilities and entrepreneurial orientations' effects on export performance and innovation performance are successful in ventures established with export-oriented partnerships. Since the research is conducted in organizational areas where export-oriented enterprises are concentrated, it is an innovative study, and at the same time, the sample group of the research consists of ventures established in partnership. Data were collected from 601 senior employees for modeling and testing, and the lists registered with technoparks, entrepreneur associations, and entrepreneur foundations in Istanbul/Turkey were used. SmartPLS 3.3.5 was used for analysis. As a result of the data analysis in the research, it can be explained that both partnership abilities and entrepreneurial orientations positively affect export and innovation performances. These results show how important talents are in export-oriented ventures established in partnership. When the limitations of the research are evaluated, it will not be correct to generalize the research results since the data obtained from the enterprises registered to technoparks, entrepreneur associations, and entrepreneurial foundations operating in Istanbul represent a specific region. For this reason, it is recommended that the results obtained in this study should be evaluated only according to the sample group, and this situation should be taken into account in future studies.

Stakeholder management and competitive strategy concepts are very important for a company’s position and its corporate structure and for understanding which sectors or customer groups have an effect on business, how the company can be successful and whether the company can respond to the demands and needs of stakeholders. In the traditional view, stakeholders include employees, shareholders, suppliers and customers; however, the society, nongovernmental organizations, governments and media also have a significant impact on business. Therefore, stakeholders have been examined as internal and external ones. To achieve sustainability for their business, companies should strategically analyze and evaluate the stakeholders, who are at the core of their activities and fulfill their necessary responsibilities. This study illustrates the performance results of the stakeholder management theory analyses and competitive strategy on globalization: (i) the stakeholders and competitive strategy of the companies suitable for their employees and management team’s expectations; (ii) determining how to meet the expectations of stakeholders; (iii) relations between stakeholders and business performance; and (iv) finally, relationships with stakeholders, the strategies for managing stakeholders, and the relationship between the business performance and stakeholders.
