    The competition in today's business is getting stronger each day. Due to its proven cost reduction potential the usage of Information Technology (IT) outsourcing and the flexibility it provided are among the attractive and effective features to both SMEs (Small Medium enterprises) and large enterprises. Most enterprises with different sizes decide to transfer some or all of their IT services to outsourcing vendors. Implementing IT outsourcing has some advantages such as decreasing time required to enter a market, increasing quality, enhancing customer satisfaction, and allowing an organization to focus on its core areas. However, the use of IT outsourcing comes with many risks which need to be carefully evaluated before any engagement. This thesis surveys the recent literature for the most important risk factors inherent to the IT outsourcing such as increase in expenses, increased dependence on outsourcing firm, confidentiality and communication problems, etc. Herein, we focus on identifying the IT outsourcing usage characteristics and understanding the perception of IT outsourcing risk factors by conducting a survey in both IT companies and IT departments of the companies in Turkey. The conducted data obtained by the survey is used to discover the variance among the management levels of IT personnel, in the perceived factors that may lead to IT outsourcing risks. We analyze the survey data and portrayed the current situation of risks of IT outsourcing perceived by IT practitioners in Turkey.

    Turkey's relations with the Iraqi and Syrian kurds: A comparative approach
    (Işık Üniversitesi, 2018-09-05) Alyüz, Işın; Kayhan Pusane, Özlem; Işık Üniversitesi, Sosyal Bilimler Enstitüsü, Uluslararası İlişkiler Yüksek Lisans Programı
    This thesis examines the striking variance in Turkish foreign policy towards the Iraqi and Syrian Kurds between 2011 and 2017, during the Syrian civil war. It explains the difference in Turkish foreign policy by focusing on the impact of socially constructed identities on actor behavior with the guidance of Lene Hansen’s discursive research model. This thesis argues that constructed identities, as the foundation and product of foreign policy, have a major role in shaping the difference in the incumbent Justice and Development Party’s (AKP) foreign policy practices towards the Kurdistan Regional Government (KRG) and the Democratic Union Party (PYD), as well as its armed wing People’s Protection Units (YPG). Although both the KRG and the PYD/YPG are pro-Kurdish political formations, the AKP government pursued an alliance with the former from 2007 onwards, while it identified thelatter as a national security threat. This thesis uses discourse analysis to inspect the tripartite relationship of these actors from the perspective of identity theory.

    The purpose of this study is to examine and better understand the effects of high technology manufacturing idea adoption for Turkey and South Korea. Selected countries are particularly appropriate for this analysis as they were standing at the almost similar economic circumstance many years ago. Moreover, this truth cannot be ignored: Turkey has had a definite better position, and a more hopeful development possibility right before the 1960s. It is also important to highlight that the Turkish economy and developmental progress has been impressively increased through structural state policies between 1923 and 1950. It might be right but, today's world economic development outcomes have been showing a miracle growth for South Korea; the growth rates of GDP, production, and incomes per capita have reached unprecedented heights. However, Turkey has been missing the sustainable economic development opportunities due to inefficient technology manufacturing approach and education incapability since 1960. In this parallel, South Korea has been trying to convert itself into high technology products producer country with the contemporary education system, and it's the innovated economy has already been matured to answers the world technology requirements in short period time. In today’s world, the developed countries have been preparing itself against upcoming Industrial Revolution 5.0. South Korea has not positioned itself as it possesses somethings for the paradigm change which has been approaching, it will smoothly enter a new period as it already established a required environment in the area of science and education. This paper intends to evaluate the impact of high technology of economic development on economic growth and shows whether is there a positive correlation between educational development and economic growth through empirical analysis.

    Türkiye’de contemporary İstanbul’a alternatif çağdaş sanat fuarları
    (Işık Üniversitesi, 2020-06-03) Döven, Ece Melis; Şarlak, Evangelia; Işık Üniversitesi, Sosyal Bilimler Enstitüsü, Sanat Kuramı ve Eleştiri Yüksek Lisans Programı
    20. yüzyılın başlarında, avangard akımların etkisiyle sanatın her alanında köklü bir değişim yaşanmıştır. Teknolojik ve küresel etkilerle birlikte 21. yüzyıldaki sanat anlayışı artık çok daha karma ve global bir karaktere bürünmüştür. Bu süreçte sadece sanatın üretimi değil, üretimden sonraki süreçlerin de değişimi başlamıştır. 1980’lerde giderek yaygınlaşan bienallerden sonra yeni sanat anlayışıyla üretilen eserlerin sergilendiği, sanatın alımlayıcıları ile sanatçıyı buluşturan yeni platformlara ihtiyaç duyulmuştur. Avrupa ve Amerika başta olmak üzere düzenlenmeye başlanan çağdaş sanat fuarları 2000 yılından sonra Türkiye’de de bir ihtiyaç olarak sanat piyasındaki yerini almıştır. Contemporary İstanbul Çağdaş Sanat Fuarı, Türkiye’nin ilk ve en önemli organizasyonu olarak 2006 yılında ilk edisyonunu gerçekleştirmiştir. 2019 yılına kadar giderek büyüyen ve genişleyen bir perspektifle İstanbul’un bir sanat merkezi olmasını amaçlayan Contemporary İstanbul, aynı zamanda çağdaş sanat fuarı olarak bir ekol haline gelmiştir. Katılımcı galeri, kurum, sanatçı ve koleksiner sayısını her geçen yıl yükseltten fuar, aynı zamanda Dünya’nın birçok ülkesiyle güçlü bağlantılar kurmayı başarmıştır. Heykel, resim, fotoğraf gibi klasik sanat türlerinin yanı sıra video-art, enstalasyon, performans, street art gibi çağdaş sanat türlerinin yer aldığı Contemporary İstanbul, zaman içerisinde alternatif fuarların oluşmasına da zemin hazırlamıştır. Art-Ankara, Step İstanbul, ArtWeeks Akaretler, İstanbul Sanat ve Antika Fuarı ile ArtContact gibi, bu çalışma kapsamında incelenen çağdaş sanat fuaları son yıllarda Türkiye’deki alternatif fuarlar olarak dikkat çekmektedir. Katılım, içerik, fiyat, konsept gibi konularda Contemporary İstanbul’a benzeyen veya ayrılan yönleriyle bu fuarlar da Türkiye’nin çağdaş sanat alanındaki diğer önemli adımlarını oluşturmaktadır. Bu tez çalışması, Contemporary İstanbul Çağdaş Sanat Fuarı ekseninde, alternatif fuarlar üzerinden bir karşılaştırma yapmayı amaçlamıştır.
