The balanced scorecard (BSC) and strategy map (SM) methods developed by Kaplan and Norton [1] are widely utilized both in academic studies and in practice to measure organizational performance. On the other hand, these methods are criticized in the literature due to their inability in quantifying bi-directional causalities among strategies, aggregating performance measures, reflecting dynamic nature of real-life behavior, and making simulations to understand implications of future scenarios to support strategic decision-making. The aim of this research is to develop a dynamic SM model by incorporating scenario analysis and systems dynamics to enhance strategic planning (SP) and performance management (PM) practices of international construction companies. To develop a dynamic SM model, this research uses BSC and SM methods of Kaplan and Norton [1], future scorecard model of Fink et al. [2] and Systems Dynamics method of Forrester [3] and Sterman [4]. To develop and test the dynamic SM model, this research is conducted in five consecutive phases with the collaboration of one of the biggest Turkish construction companies. Some serial Group Model Building sessions are conducted with the participation of company experts in order to ensure structural and behavioral validity of the model as well as to test whether the model has a potential to enhance strategic decision-making. The simulation tests conducted with the Company revealed that, the model improves the quality of strategic decision-making as it simulates impacts ofalternative strategic options and possible future scenarios on organizational performance. Thus, this research has potential to offer a reliable methodology and a model for scholars and industry practitioners about how to develop dynamic SMs via SD modeling and utilize them during strategic decision-making and PM.

Development of a lessons learned management process model and a web-based tool for construction companies
Eken, Görkem; Birgönül, Mustafa Talat; Dikmen Toker, İrem; Department of Civil Engineering (2017)
Organizational memory formation and its effective utilization is a source of competitive advantage especially in project-based industries such as construction industry as it may eliminate potential problems in projects leading to higher profitability and less errors. However, project-based nature also poses challenges for establishing organizational memory as it is hard to capture knowledge of temporary project teams and transfer different types of knowledge between projects. This study presents a “Lessons ...
Prediction of organizational effectiveness in construction companies
Dikmen Toker, İrem; Birgönül, Mustafa Talat (American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE), 2005-02-01)
Investigation of literature on organizational effectiveness (OE) reveals that the researchers have been in consensus for the difficulty of defining, modeling, and measuring OE, which is important for attaining high performance. Major focuses of this paper are, therefore, to construct a conceptual framework to model OE, to derive major determinants of OE from this framework, and to measure OE by constructing prediction models based on artificial neural network (ANN) and multiple regression (MR) techniques. B...
A Fuzzy structural equation model to analyze relationships between determinants of safety performance in construction sites: development of a safety performance index assessment tool
Özdemir, Mustafa; Birgönül, Mustafa Talat; Department of Civil Engineering (2015)
The principal aim of this study is to examine the relationships between determinants of safety performance in construction sites. In this study, 168 observable variables and 16 latent dimensions affecting safety performance of construction sites were collected together from detailed literature review, expert opinions and face-to-face interviews with 15 construction safety professionals. Relationships between observed variables and latent dimensions of safety performance of construction sites were studied an...
Development of effective STEM education materials.
Tomaç, Cemre; Eryılmaz, Ali; Department of Mathematics and Science Education (2019)
The aim of this study is to develop STEM Project-Based Learning (STEM PBL) activities for 9th grade level by using ASSURE Model. During the literature research, it was found that there was no systematic material development process in the development of existing STEM PBL activities. To fill this gap in the literature, firstly, the characteristics of STEM activities were determined and ASSURE Model was revised to form these characteristics. Subsequently, with this model, 3 STEM PBL activities were developed....
Investigation of the Applicability of AASHTO LRFD Live Load Distribution equations for Integral Bridge Substructures
Erhan, Semih; Dicleli, Murat (SAGE Publications, 2009-08-01)
In this study, applicability of the AASHTO LRFD girder live load distribution equations (LLDEs) for integral bridge (IB) abutments and piles is investigated. For this Purpose, numerous 3-D and corresponding 2-D structural models of typical IBs are built and analyzed under AASHTO LRFD live load. In the analyses, the effect of various superstructure properties such as span length, slab thickness, girder spacing and stiffness are considered. The results from the 2-D and 3-D analyses are then used to calculate ...
