    An actor-network theory (ANT) approach: analysis of Turkish e-government gateway initiative
    (2009) Aykaç, Didem Selcen Öztürkcan; Kervenoael, R. de; Kasap, N.; Eryarsoy, E.; Business Administration; ÖZTÜRKCAN AYKAÇ, Didem Selcen
    There are various models proposed in the literature to analyze trajectories of e-Government projects in terms of success and failure. Yet, only the Actor-Network Theory (ANT) perspective (Heeks and Stanforth, 2007) considers the interaction factors among network actors and actants. This paper proposes the ANT for approaching to the Turkish e-Government Gateway initiative as a case study. In doing so, it provides valuable insight in terms of both local and global actornetworks which surround the initiative.

    On singleton congestion games with resilience against collusion
    (Springer, 2021) Caskurlu, B.; Ekici, Özgün; Kızılkaya, F. E.; Economics; EKİCİ, Özgün
    We study the subclass of singleton congestion games in which there are identical resources with increasing cost functions. In this domain, we prove that there always exists an outcome that is resilient to weakly-improving deviations by singletons (i.e., the outcome is a Nash equilibrium), by the grand coalition (i.e., the outcome is Pareto efficient), and by coalitions with respect to an a priori given partition coalition structure (i.e., the outcome is a partition equilibrium). To our knowledge, this is the strongest existence guarantee in the literature on congestion games when weakly-improving deviations are considered. Our proof technique gives the false impression of a potential function argument but it is a novel application of proof by contradiction.

    Premium e-grocery: exploring value in logistics integrated service solutions
    (2009-02-12) Bozkaya, B.; Kervenoael, R. de; Aykaç, Didem Selcen Öztürkcan; Business Administration; ÖZTÜRKCAN AYKAÇ, Didem Selcen
    E-grocery is gradually becoming viable or a necessity for many families. Yet, most e-supermarketsare seen as providers of low value “staple” and bulky goods mainly. While each store has a large number of SKU available, these products are mainly necessity goods with low marginal value for hedonistic consumption. A need to acquire diverse products (e.g., organic), premium priced products (e.g., wine) for special occasions (e.g., anniversary, birthday), or products just for health related reasons (e.g., allergies, diabetes) are yet to be served via one-stop e-tailers. In this paper, we design a mathematical model that takes into account consumers’ geo demographics and multi-product sourcing capacity for creating critical mass and profit. Our mathematical model is a variant of Capacitated Vehicle Routing Problem with Time Windows (CVRPTW), which we extend by adding intermediate locations for trucks to meet and exchange goods. We illustrate our model for the city of Istanbul using GIS maps, and discuss its various extensions as well as managerial implications.
