Transversal competences constitute a set of the knowledge, skills, and attitudes required for various positions and in different professions. Such competences include: entrepreneurship, teamwork, creativity, and communicativeness; they are increasingly listed by employers in different countries as the key requirements in the labor market. The article presents the model of accelerating the process of acquiring transversal competences, developed based on the analysis of data collected in four countries of the European Union: Poland, Finland, Slovakia, and Slovenia. In the analysis, multivariate additive regression spline method was used, along with artificial neural networks, in order to create the best model describing the influence of different variables on the acceleration of acquiring transversal competences. Herewith, we demonstrated that by accelerating the acquisition of the transversal competence of entrepreneurship is influenced by the following factors: rank of the training method in the developed matrix, student numbers and the weighted average of the pace of acceleration regarding the acquisition of the remaining transversal competences, i.e., teamwork, communicativeness and creativity by the given student. The results validate our new method of the acceleration of acquiring transversal competences by students. Students may be from various higher education institutions in different countries. Developed results may be used in the course of education within the framework of the already planned vocational courses and for developing the skills required by employers for various positions and in different professions.

Capturing knowledge in construction projects: Knowledge platform for contractors
Kivrak, Serkan; Arslan, Gokhan; Dikmen Toker, İrem; Birgönül, Mustafa Talat (American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE), 2008-04-01)
Managing knowledge effectively is critical to the survival and advance of a company, especially in project-based industries such as construction. However, capturing knowledge in construction projects is a tedious task, as knowledge is usually experience based, tacit, and hard to pass on to others. In this study, a survey was carried out among eight leading Turkish construction contractors that are operating within the international construction market. The specific objectives of this survey are to find out ...
MULTIECHELON VS SINGLE-ECHELON INVENTORY CONTROL POLICIES FOR LOW-DEMAND ITEMS
HAUSMAN, WH; ERKIP, NK (Institute for Operations Research and the Management Sciences (INFORMS), 1994-05-01)
Multi-echelon inventory systems are often controlled as a network of single-echelon inventory systems for simplicity of managerial authority, organizational control, and performance monitoring. This paper explores the amount of suboptimization in such a situation, using an actual demand data set provided by other researchers. We consider low-demand, high-cost items controlled on an (S - 1, S) basis, with all warehouse stockouts met on an emergency-ordering basis. We demonstrate that the suboptimality penalt...
Flexibility analysis: a methodology and a case study
Kahyaoglu, Y; Kayaligil, S; Buzacott, JA (Informa UK Limited, 2002-11-10)
A methodology for analysing manufacturing flexibility is proposed. A real-life case is discussed to demonstrate the proposed methodology. The case involves the grinding operations of an engine manufacturer. As an integral part of the methodology, statistical analyses using response surface methodology are carried out. Potential applications of the proposed methodology are discussed. Planning models and flexibility measure used are outlined in the appendices.
Strategic perspective of Turkish construction companies
Dikmen Toker, İrem; Birgönül, Mustafa Talat (American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE), 2003-01-01)
Whether extensively planned or not, all companies have a strategic perspective which is analogous to the personality of an individual. However, a clear strategic perspective is a must to achieve strategic integration that further leads to competitive advantage. In order to define a strategic perspective, four determinants should be put together: objectives, strategies; competencies; and competitive rules. There are two way linkages among objectives, strategies, and competencies that are affected from compet...
Mutual relevance of investor sentiment and finance by modeling coupled stochastic systems with MARS
Kalayci, Betul; Ozmen, Ayse; Weber, Gerhard Wilhelm (Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2020-08-01)
Stochastic differential equations (SDEs) rapidly become one of the most well-known formats in which to express such diverse mathematical models under uncertainty such as financial models, neural systems, behavioral and neural responses, human reactions and behaviors. They belong to the main methods to describe randomness of a dynamical model today. In a financial system, different kinds of SDEs have been elaborated to model various financial assets. On the other hand, economists have conducted research on s...
