Within the scope of this research, factors contributing to the decline and failure in the Turkish construction industry are examined by the aid of a broad literature review and a Delphi Study conducted among respondents selected to be civil engineers who experienced organizational decline and/or bankruptcy throughout their professional lives. Based on the identified factors and their interrelations, Analytical Network Process (ANP) is used to quantify the relative importance of these factors on “Organizational Decline/Bankruptcy of the Turkish Construction Companies”. Organizational Decline/Bankruptcy evaluation and prediction model to be used by the construction company managers as a decision support tool is constructed. As a result of the ANP analysis, importance of management competency and companies’ intangible resources such as organizational knowledge and its technical and technological capabilities came out to be the most important factors effective on the fate of the company to success or bankruptcy whereas external factors such as economic and political changes; which are effective on all kind of industries commonly, occurred to be the least effective factors that directly affect business failure.

Development of a risk management decision support system for intarnational construction projects Arıkan, Arif Erdem; Dikmen Toker, İrem; Department of Civil Engineering (2005) It is agreed upon by many researchers that, although risk management (RM) is accepted as one of the critical success factors for construction projects, project participants generally do not have sufficient knowledge pertinent to risk management concept and the number of risk management support tools which facilitate the process is rather low. In order to facilitate risk management activities, decision support tools that will enable risk identification, analysis and response strategy formulation should be de...
Institutionalization of construction firms: Turkish contractors’ experience Yavuzyılmaz, Özlem; Birgönül, Mustafa Talat; Department of Civil Engineering (2010) Literature studies on institutionalization are mainly predicated on repetitive work performing sectors, in which firms are more prone to developed institutionalization processes in literature. But, in this study, it is aimed to examine reasons behind low tendency of construction firms to institutionalization process in Turkey. In literature, two main obstacles against institutionalization are shown as firms’ resistance to change and founder family acts on firm. So, family businesses and their effects on fir...
Performance evaluation of existing medium rise reinforced concrete buildings according to 2006 Turkish Seismic Rehabilitation Code Düzce, Zeynep; Sucuoğlu, Haluk; Department of Civil Engineering (2006) Linear elastic and nonlinear analysis procedures of 2006 Turkish Seismic Rehabilitation Code are applied to medium rise reinforced concrete buildings. In this study, four storey residential buildings are designed according to the 1998 and 1975 Turkish Seismic Design Codes, and the analysis procedures are verified on these case studies. In addition to these buildings, the analysis procedures are tested on an existing school building before and after retrofitting. The assessment procedures employed in the 200...
Mapping Uncertainty for Risk and Opportunity Assessment in Projects Qazi, Abroon; Dikmen Toker, İrem; Birgönül, Mustafa Talat (Informa UK Limited, 2019-01-01) Risk management is deemed as a critical process toward achieving the objectives of any project. A number of tools and techniques have been developed to help project managers reduce the risk involved in complex projects as risk is generally perceived as a negative event. However, uncertainty, which may lead to risk events may well result in opportunities. With the main aim of managing both risk and opportunity within an interdependent setting of interacting project uncertainties, we present a new thinking, c...
Meta-Modeling of Complexity-Uncertainty-Performance Triad in Construction Projects Dikmen Toker, İrem; Erol, Huseyin; Birgönül, Mustafa Talat (Informa UK Limited, 2020-07-01) Although conceptualized in various ways within the project management literature, complexity is usually identified as one of the drivers of uncertainty, which may result in deviations from the expected project performance in the construction industry. Effective strategies to manage risk and complexity can only be formulated by understanding the complexity-uncertainty-performance triad in construction projects and modeling the non-linear interactions between these factors. In this study, a meta-modeling appr...
