    IT Multisourcing in a telecommunication company
    (Int Business Information Management Assoc-IBIMA, 2012) Aydın, Mehmet Nafiz; Bingöl, Erdem
    Organizations have used numerous sourcing strategies to lower IT costs and improve IT service levels. However, a number of these sourcing strategies have failed to deliver on their expected outcomes. Multisourcing has been advanced as a form of sourcing which addresses the deficiencies of other failed strategies. From the Telecommunication case, we found that the benefits of multisourcing IT infrastructure stem from an ability to lower IT costs, improve IT service levels and enabling access to specialist vendors for flexible capability. The costs and risks of IT multisourcing were addressed as the ongoing management of vendors and the underlying importance of a service management layer in organizations.

    The concept of ‘Work’ and ‘Workplace’ started to change in recent decades in parallel with developments in information and communication Technologies. New ways of working have been defined as flexible, mobile and multi-locational. Co-working spaces have emerged worldwide as a new type of workspace concept. These places offer a flexible and appropriate work environment with various usage options.

    Social responses to Turkey’s recent economic crises of 2008-2010
    (Istanbul University, 2012-11-25) Soykut Sarıca, Yeşim Pınar
    The objective of this article is to discuss how the labor market can respond to challenges facing enterprises and workers during the crisis as well as the key ingredients of overcoming the crisis. Responses may be both of a macro and micro character. Following some introductory remarks, micro-level decent responses are introduced first. This is followed by examining national (macro) responses to the crisis, including financial and fiscal policy measures, labor market initiatives and social dialogue. The need for, and possibility of, coordinating through mutual adjustment at the national level increase especially in times of crisis, as the stakeholders come to recognize the necessity for system-wide solutions. Also, achieving consensus and comprehensiveness become more possible at higher levels. Thus, in the final analysis, stimulating economic recovery is important in making labor market adjustments with a view to prevent social crises and promote social cohesion, but the importance of taking adequate firm-level (using the terminology of the International Labor Office) “decent”, measures should not be overlooked either.
