Öğe Agile approach as an answer to internal uncertainty: a case study in large-scale manufacturing(Inderscience Publishers, 2023) Özgen, A.; Gençer, M.The success of agile product development in the software industry has attracted the attention of new product development (NPD) community. Agile approach has the potential to overcome the uncertainty that dominates today’s business conditions. However, there is little research regarding the performance of agile practices, most of which were developed in the software industry, in other contexts. Through a case study methodology, we explore how agile practices address organisational uncertainty in a large-scale manufacturing firm. The study, based on semi-structured interviews, covers two NPD projects with a total of 12 sub-teams. Our results indicate that in a large organisation, internal sources of NPD uncertainty dominate external sources. The three factors in organisational uncertainties are interdependency, team volatility and distributed teams. Furthermore, we develop a model to explain how various agile practices can provide the NPD teams with capabilities to mitigate these organisational uncertainties.

By 'forking' a new branch of development separate from the main project, development diverges into a path in order to relieve tensions related to specialization, which later encounters new tensions. In this study, we first classify forces and patterns within this divergence process. Such tensions may stem from a variety of sources including internal power conflicts, emergence of new environmental niches such as demand for specialized uses of same software, or differences along stability vs. development speed trade-off. We then present an evolutionary model which combines divergence options available to resolve tensions, and how further tensions emerge. In developing this model we attempt to define open software evolution at the level of systems of software, rather than at individual software project level. © 2012 IFIP International Federation for Information Processing.Öğe The ghost in the system: Critical management studies in Turkey(Taylor and Francis, 2016) Oba, B.; Gençer, M.Critical Management Studies (CMS) did not find a place and could not establish itself in Turkish business schools. This is not a new claim; it has been argued by extant research. In an analysis of papers presented in the National Management and Organization Congress (NMOC) and examining curricula of Turkish business schools. Ozcan (2012) claims that in Turkey, management literature and management programmes have not been permeated by Critical Management Studies. Alakavuklar and Parker (2011) make similar claims; in its current forms, critical management would not find a place in Turkey due to the socio-economic realities of the country. Turkey does not have a strong tradition of anti-imperialist, civil society movements or did not experience industrial revolution. That being said, they also propose that in a developing country, local problems can be different than the ones faced by the Global North where the critical theories originated and thus, in the production of critical management, the local priorities should be taken into consideration. In an effort to explore the ideology inherited by the most popular management/organization textbooks written by Turkish academicians, Çoşkun (2009) asserts that all these textbooks strictly utilize a discourse that promotes neo-liberal ideology and neglects alternative arguments. © 2016 Christopher Grey, Isabelle Huault, Véronique Perret and Laurent Taskin.Öğe Open innovation ecosystems in the software industry(Palgrave Macmillan, 2014) Gençer, M.; Oba, B.Computers have an increasing variety of uses in virtually every aspect of our personal life and work-related activities. Children from early ages play games on tablets, Grandma uses a small digital device to track her blood pressure, and parents work with smartphones and laptops during their commutes. A common characteristic of computers is that, for the most part, they rely on software to accommodate different uses. © Refik Culpan, 2014.Öğe Structure and collaborative aspects of internet standards(2007) Gençer, M.Standardization efforts have become an increasingly central issue as business interoperability demands mount. However research on the development process of standards is limited. This study investigates the organizational features of Internet standards developed and published under coordination of the Internet Engineering Task Force. In addition to longitudinal changes in standards development process, patterns of links between standards and authors, and extend of deliberation and collaboration were investigated. © 2007 IEEE.
