    The formulation of strategies to mitigate supply risks
    (Springer, 2017) Sorkun M.F.; Onay M.
    The integration of markets through globalization leads to the formation of global supply chains in which supply chain partners and operations disperse to wide geographical areas. Although global supply chains refer to the expansion of markets and the higher production efficiency, they embed higher number of and more serious risks than domestic/traditional supply chains have. For this reason, firms being part of global supply chains need to manage their supply chain risks more elaborately. They need to have systematic approach to identify all supply risks and should be able to prepare the priority list of these supply risks with appropriate tools and techniques. Next, it is imperative for these firms to determine the right strategy so that they are able to both prevent themselves from the destructive negative impacts of risky events and reduce the amount of expenditure made on the actions to mitigate their supply risks. © Springer International Publishing AG 2017.

    The Effects of Companies’ Reverse Logistics Motivations on Their Reverse Logistics Networks
    (Springer, 2018) Sorkun M.F.; Onay M.
    The aim of this paper is to show how the differences in the motivations of companies to implement reverse logistics affect their reverse logistics networks. Effective reverse logistics management facilitates the accomplishment of many goals for companies, such as reducing operational costs, increasing customer satisfaction, boosting brand value, and meeting the requirements of environmental regulations. However, the prominence of these motivations may vary according to sector. In some sectors, the strict government regulations in force may compel companies to implement reverse logistics, while in others, consumers may be highly conscious of the environmental-friendly production, encouraging companies to engage into reverse logistics activities. This situation calls for studies that analyse the differences in companies’ motivations to implement reverse logistics, and explain in turn how these differences shape their reverse logistics networks. Hence, this study has adopted a multiple-case study analysing reverse logistics activities of four companies each representing one of the following sectors: textile, battery, building materials, and food. Such cross-sectoral analysis enables an examination of the reverse logistics network design according to different motivation factors. The results reveal that different RL motivations have an impact on three reverse logistics design issues: the collection of returns, the location to inspect returns, and forward/backward integration on RL networks. This study explicates the theoretical and practical implications of these results as well. © 2018, Springer International Publishing AG, part of Springer Nature.

    Dynamics of sustainable entrepreneurship: A proposed 4s model
    (Springer Nature, 2019) Yilmazer M.; Onay M.
    The aim of this study is to research the dimensions of sustainable entrepreneurship in the industrial sector and to bring out the effects on sustainable development. For this purpose, activities of sustainable entrepreneurship of two firms operating in Turkey are examined. Considering the theoretical basis of the concept sustainable entrepreneurship and the practical studies on the subject, a new model called 4S has been developed involving economic, environmental, technological and social sustainability dimensions. In the study, multiple, exploratory and qualitative case study is preferred. Findings of the research show that firms’ accomplice a cost lowering production with a technology that increases source efficiency, and this increases both the firms’ competition force and profitability and fulfills the social and economic responsibilities. © 2019, Springer Nature Singapore Pte Ltd.
