Amerikalı düşünür Warren G. Bennis, 1991 yılında, geleceğin fabrikasını şöyle tarif etmektedir: “Geleceğin fabrikasında yalnızca iki adet canlı olacaktır: Bunlar bir köpek ve bir insandır. Geleceğin fabrikasında insanın görevi, fabrikadaki köpeği beslemektir. Köpeğin görevi ise insanın fabrikadaki makinelere yaklaşmasını engellemektir.” Gelecekte robotların, akıllı fabrikaların vazgeçilmez çalışanları olacağı düşünülmektedir. Bugün kesin olan şu ki robot ve insan etkileşimli bir geleceğin ütopik mi dispotik mi olacağını görmek için çok beklemeyeceğiz. Zira dünya hızla değişmekte, dijitalleşme, insanın olduğu her yere daha ...
The organizational economics paradigm is useful for a research tool in order to construct a concrete theory of entrepreneur as a human agent of change. Under this theoretical framework, chief functions of entrepreneurial activity must be defined. Hébert and Link (1988) decomposes functions of entrepreneur with reference to different definitions in the history of economic theory. They gather together twelve functions under two main categories. First, they divide entrepreneurial functions as static and dynamic. Thereby, they identify each function with a definition and historical classification as an overview of distinct intellectual attempts by economists in the relevant literature. We conduct structural and contextual analysis to entegrate functionalist approach of organizational economics to the theory of entrepreneur. Key words: Economics of Organization, Theory of Entrepreneur, Functionalist Approach, The Organizational Economics Paradigm, Structural and Contextual Analysis
Today, one of the most valuable assets of companies is their workforce. Primarily, the importance of information is increased and the human factor that absorbs and uses it by creating value has become much more essential.

Regional trade agreements (RTAs) are not new, but their complexity and importance in global economics and politics has grown exponentially in the past two decades. Tackling this daunting proliferation head on, this book provides a much-needed guide to RTAs. Setting current regional agreements in their economic, political, and historical context, David A. Lynch describes and compares every significant RTA, region by region. He clearly explains their intricate inner workings, their webs of collaboration and conflict, and their primary goals and effectiveness. Lynch's deeply knowledgeable study bridges the ideological divides in scholarly and public debate, including economists' emphases on markets and efficiency versus antiglobalization activists' concerns over inequality and social ills. By building a middle ground between micro and macro analysis and clarifying technical terminology, this concise and accessible book will be an invaluable reference for all readers.
How do national stereotypes emerge? To which extent are they determined by historical or ideological circumstances, or else by cultural, literary or discursive conventions? This first inclusive critical compendium on national characterizations and national (cultural or ethnic) stereotypes contains 120 articles by 73 contributors. Its three parts offer [1] a number of in-depth survey articles on ethnic and national images in European literatures and cultures over many centuries; [2] an encyclopedic survey of the stereotypes and characterizations traditionally ascribed to various ethnicities and nationalities; and [3] a conspectus of relevant concepts in various cultural fields and scholarly disciplines. The volume as a whole, as well as each of the articles, has extensive bibliographies for further critical reading. Imagologyis intended both for students and for senior scholars, facilitating not only a first acquaintance with the historical development, typology and poetics of national stereotypes, but also a deepening of our understanding and analytical perspective by interdisciplinary and comparative contextualization and extensive cross-referencing.
