The business of music is one of the most creative, innovative, and profitable businesses in the world in general, with a value more than 18 billion USD in total. In today’s global world, the music industry is in an era where the digital service providers or digital channels have a critical role and digital sales are on the front burner. Digitalization is also changing music supply chains all over the world. In this dynamic environment new actors emerge to meet the online needs of customers better and existing relationships between key actors are challenged. This thesis examines the effect of digitalization on the current Turkish music supply chain structure from a supply chain complexity perspective. Supply chain complexity is investigated by distinguishing between detail (i.e., number of actors, variety of actors, and interaction between actors) and dynamic complexity. Furthermore, in order to generate further insights in relation to relationships between actors, power (i.e., type and balance) characteristics are investigated. Adopting a single case study approach, 23 semi-structured interviews were conducted with the executives of several key actors in the Turkish music supply chain. The results provide rich insights regarding how the supply chain complexity of the Turkish music industry increased with increasing number of actors, interactions, and dynamism in relation to digitalization and how the structure became more decentralized with increased alternative channels.

The Impact of supply base complexity on firm performance Memiş, Huriye; Akın Ateş, Melek.; Department of Business Administration (2019) Supply chain complexity has become a significant concern of the companies especially in the past decade. As a response to this, there have been several studies examining supply chain complexity and performance implications. However, studies focusing on upstream supply chain complexity is rather scant. Sources of supply base complexity and their impacts on firm performance is still under-investigated. The aim of this research is to investigate the impact of supply base complexity on firm performance. Supply ...
The impact of intangible assets on the productivity of manufacturing firms in Turkey Üçdoğruk Gürel, Yeşim; Kılıçaslan, Yılmaz (Orta Doğu Teknik Üniversitesi (Ankara, Turkey), 2016-4) As the experiences of industrialized economies have shown, “intangible capital” such as R&D expenses, patents, copyrights, franchises or licenses, and trademarks, represents a key component of the knowledge of firms that are crucial to their performance. The aim of this paper is to investigate the impact of capital inputs on productivity in Turkish manufacturing industry. Using firm-level data from 2003 to 2012, we compare the impact of tangibles and intangibles, as well as different types of intangibl...

Patents are the one of the factors that affect innovation performance of these firms. At this point, the main purpose of the thesis is revealing the actual impact of patent incentives on the innovation performance of technology-based firms. In order to measure the impact, the study field of the thesis is identified as the METU Technopark. The pioneering step of ...
An architecture for supply chain integration and automation on the Internet Cingil, I; Doğaç, Asuman (2001-07-01) Electronic commerce is happening at a very fast pace and business-to-business ecommerce is taking the lead, a very important part of which is the supply chain integration and automation. There is a high demand for well accepted interoperability standards which need to be fitted together for supply chain integration to meet the business demands such as being able to integrate catalogs from different companies. This will facilitate product comparisons and producing customized catalogs. Given an anchor product...
A comparison of pure manufacturing and hybrid manufacturing–remanufacturing systems under carbon tax policy Alegoz, Mehmet; Kaya, Onur; Bayındır, Zeynep Pelin (2021-10-01) Collection and remanufacturing of used products can be considered as one of the options to improve the sustainability of a manufacturing system. In this study, we focus on production and sustainability level decisions in pure manufacturing and hybrid manufacturing–remanufacturing systems and compare the systemwide performances and the performances of supply chain actors under different settings in terms of economic and environmental performance measures. We consider four settings as follows. In the first se...
