Despite the advantages and dominance of globalization in today’s world economics; clusters, as a regional based development tool, still attract many researchers and policy makers from all over the world in order to obtain sustainable competitiveness. As a result of fast rising number of cluster development policies and initiatives, the importance of measuring the performance of clusters arises. The purpose of this thesis is to design a performance measurement model, which will be applied to industrial clusters in Turkey. A model framework is developed, based on expected outcomes of clusters which are classified as productivity, innovativeness, new business formations and social capital. Indicators are selected based on extensive literature survey under these four determinants, and a scorecard is developed. After the design phase, the performance of two cluster cases from Turkey is studied. In order to improve clustering approach, it is important to monitor, measure identify the progress of clusters. It is believed that this work will be utile for policy makers to identify whether the interventions, incentives and promotions are beneficial for the desired purposes and whether they are used effectively.

A complex dynamical systems model of education, research, employment, and sustainable human development
Erdoğan, Ezgi; Azizoğlu, Meral; Department of Industrial Engineering (2010)
Economic events of this era reflect the fact that the value of information and technology has surpassed the value of physical production. This motivates countries to focus on increasing the education levels of citizens. However, policy making about education system and its returns requires dynamical analyses in order to be sustainable. The study aims to investigate the dynamic characteristics of a country-wide education system, in particular, that of Turkey. System Dynamics modeling, which is one of the mos...
Preparing Civil Engineers for International Collaboration in Construction Management
Soibelman, Lucio; Sacks, Rafael; Akinci, Burcu; Dikmen Toker, İrem; Birgönül, Mustafa Talat; Eybpoosh, Matineh (American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE), 2011-07-01)
Economic globalization is increasingly affecting both the construction industry and academia. It is changing the traditional roles of civil engineers and construction managers. Cross-cultural collaboration and communication skills, multinational team management skills, the ability to overcome the social challenges of geographically distributed teams, and familiarity with construction materials, standards, and methods of foreign countries are vital for modern construction professionals. However, the traditio...
Analysis of foreign ownership, RD and spillovers in developing countries: Evidence from Turkey
Pamukcu, Mehmet Teoman (null; 2011-09-02)
In the past few decades globalization enabled a new playing field for emerging economies. With the falling costs of information and communication technologies, multinational companies (MNCs) from the developed world first took advantage of the low labor costs in the developing economies. However, recognizing the lower cost of skilled manpower in the same countries, MNCs started to take advantage of scientists and engineers as well. Therefore, Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) has been recognized as a major me...
ASSESSMENT OF "NOVELTY" AND "DISTINCTIVE CHARACTER" IN INDUSTRIAL DESIGNS
ELİBOL, GÜLÇİN CANKIZ; Korkut, Fatma (2014-09-10)
As the world economy has become more global towards the end of the 20th century, protection of intellectual property rights has gained a special importance for the free movement of goods. Intellectual property rights are generally organized into two categories: Copyright and industrial property. Copyright refers to the rights related to artistic and literary works whereas industrial property primarily refers to inventions, trademarks and industrial designs. As designs are intellectual outputs embodying both...
A DEA-based approach to ranking multi-criteria alternatives
Tuncer, Ceren; Köksalan, Murat; Department of Industrial Engineering (2006)
This thesis addresses the problem of ranking multi-criteria alternatives. A Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA)-based approach, the Method of the Area of the Efficiency Score Graph (AES) is proposed. Rather than assessing the alternatives with respect to the fixed original alternative set as done in the existing DEA-based ranking methods, AES considers the change in the efficiency scores of the alternatives while reducing the size of the alternative set. Producing a final score for each alternative that account...
