The study area of this thesis is exploring institutional work theory and institutional maintenance within the context of healthcare project management in the Turkish branch of a multinational company. The main objective of this thesis is to understand how the projects as an institutional practice are completed successfully in a very challenging and dynamic environment, and how they are maintained in the organization. The study utilizes qualitative research techniques on data obtained from meeting, field observations, and interview notes of institutional actors. The findings indicate that there are mechanisms contributing to institutional maintenance. Internal interaction within each department provides the continuity of their own integrity and helps reproduction of their own meaning frameworks. Therefore, the departments are differentiated within themselves and this situation increases the need for coordination between different departments. Rules, norms, and relations are the main contributors to institutional maintenance. Rules and norms can be considered as value shapers in the institution and they enable actors to continue acting their roles, and since people live in a social context, the improved relationships with others increase productivity for everyone. There are also supporting mechanisms that increase the impact of both rules, norms, and relations.

Semantic transformation framework to enable statistical research on medical summaries Paçacı, Anıl; Altıngövde, İsmail Sengör; Doğaç, Asuman; Department of Computer Engineering (2015) One of the important aspects of the clinical research studies carried out in the pharmacovigilance and pharmacoepidemiology is the postmarketing drug surveillance. Utilization of the available Electronic Health Record (EHR) data is key to complement and strengthen the postmarketing safety studies. In addition, EHRs provide a huge, but still under-utilized source of information for the observational studies in clinical research. However, use of different EHR data models and vocabularies presents an important...

Trade-based manipulation in financial markets İmişiker, Serkan; Gaygısız Lajunen, Esma; Department of Economics (2013) The purpose of this thesis is to empirically explore the characteristics of the monetary transmission mechanism, with a particular emphasis on the role of banks, in Turkey. By looking at the banking sector at the micro level and exploiting dynamic panel data modeling approaches, the heterogeneity in banks’ response in terms of their lending and risk-taking to changes in policy interest rates is analyzed. The first essay is an empirical analysis of the bank lending channel of monetary transmission. In this r...
Potential Utilization of Building Information Models for Planning Maintenance Activities Akçamete Güngör, Aslı; Garrett, James H (2010-06-30) The opportunities for leveraging Building Information Models (BIMs) for facility operations are compelling and yet utilization of BIMs during building operation and maintenance is falling behind the BIM implementations for design and construction. Current studies of BIMs used for the operations phase and commercially available technologies focus on transferring information from the design and construction phases to the operations phase by enabling creation and capturing of digital facility information throu...
Event study methodology for the Borsa İstanbul s Başdaş, Ülkem; Oran, Adil; Department of Business Administration (2013) The primary research question of this thesis is to try to determine the appropriate event study methodology for studies carried out on the Borsa Istanbul. In order to find the most appropriate methodology we compare the performance of different models (mean adjusted returns, market adjusted returns, market model) in the Turkish Stock Market with two parametric (portfolio time-series standard deviation test, Patell test) and two non-parametric tests (generalized sign, generalized rank tests) under different ...
