Öğe Corporate Reputation, Information Asymmetry, and Performance: An Analysis of International Container Ports(Springer Science and Business Media B.V., 2024) Ayaz, İlke Sezin; Sigalı, SeçilThis study aims to analyse the relationships between corporate reputation, information asymmetry, and performance in the international container ports. Corporate reputation has been examined from the views of many interdisciplinary theoretical perspectives. This study examines corporate reputation from the perspective of the signaling theory. Dealing with information asymmetry is crucial for developing a sound signaling environment between the companies and their stakeholders, since corporate reputation can act as a positive or a negative signal. Because of their roles in critical supply chains, the container ports have dynamic and complex structures, and the importance of corporate reputation is increasing day by day amongst the international container ports. The data consists of information about container throughput, market share, sustainability projects, awards and existence of official reports from the world’s leading container ports in the Europe, Red Sea and Persian Gulf. A panel regression analysis was applied on data collected from container port websites, annual reports, sustainability reports, environmental reports, and sectoral reports over 4 years (2016–2019). Findings revealed the existence of a relationship between corporate reputation and information asymmetry variables; however, the results for port performance variables were not consistent throughout the tested models. Results suggest that the disclosure of an annual report on the port web site affects corporate reputation significantly positive. © The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Switzerland AG 2024.Öğe How to integrate ports into the EU ETS: the CAS approach perspective(Emerald Publishing, 2024) Ayaz, İlke Sezin; Bucak, Umur; Esmer, SonerPurpose: The European Union's Emissions Trading System (EU ETS), which is already one of the EU's most impactful instruments for reducing greenhouse gases (GHGs), will soon include the maritime transport industry. Although ports are this industry's most environmental-friendly component, there are still some barriers to including ports in the system. Therefore, the purpose of the study is to identify these barriers and to reveal the barriers' interrelationships. Design/methodology/approach: The study was conducted by identifying barriers from a literature review before analyzing the barriers with the Fuzzy DEMATEL method. Finally, based on the Complex Adaptive System Approach, various solutions are proposed to overcome these barriers. Findings: The identified barriers were grouped into cause-and-effect groups. Two barriers, namely long payback period and high investment costs, were evaluated as triggers of the model while the others were more sensitive to the model. Research limitations/implications: This study only includes the perceptions of green certificated ports in Türkiye. The results revealed an expectation that elimination of financial concerns will alleviate other barriers to including ports in the system. The study's findings can guide port managers on the integration of the managers' processes into the system. Originality/value: This study provides novel findings regarding the relationships between barriers hindering ports from involvement in the EU ETS. © 2023, Emerald Publishing Limited.Öğe Investigating the Human Capital within the Scope of Global Container Lines: A Content Analysis(Ordu Üniversitesi, 2018) Yıldız, Ramazan Özkan; Ayaz, İlke Sezin; Baran, EsraThe purpose of this study is to examine the human capital indicators within the scope of container shipping industry. In order to reach the objective of the study a content analysis is carried out. The sample of study is determined as the top 5 ranked global container lines in Alphaliner Top100 list according to their market share. In the analysis judgmental sampling method is used. The human capital (HC) indicators obtained as a result of the literature review are used as the key words and search frame on the content analysis of web sites. According to findings of the study, some of the most frequently mentioned human capital indicators are “health and safety”, “training”, “experience”, “commitment”, “skill”, “recruitment”, “education” and “leadership”. It is determined that the main elements to which container lines give importance in their human capital approaches are as follows; the welfare, development and commitment of the employees. The findings of this study constitute a useful source for the human capital literature within the context of the global container shipping industry.Öğe STRATEGIC MANAGEMENT DISCOURSE OF TOP-LEVEL MANAGERS: AN ANALYSIS OF THE MARITIME INDUSTRY IN TÜRKİYE(Mersin University, 2024) Gökmen, Gökhan; Ayaz, İlke SezinIn today’s globalised and technologically advanced business landscape, businesses experience various challenges in securing future success. The maritime industry is among the sectors profoundly impacted by global shifts, necessitating decision makers to enhance and adapt their strategic management practices to navigate these challenges effectively. Despite the crucial role of strategic management in the industry, the literature lacks sufficient documentation of decision makers’ perceptions, approaches and practices related to strategy. This study addresses this gap by analysing top managers’ strategic management discourse. Using a dataset of 68 published interviews, the authors employed deductive content analysis based on a novel strategic management keyword dictionary. This process identified 56 keywords categorised under six distinct themes: Government and Markets, Positioning, Performance, Growth, Technology, and Human Resources. The findings revealed that top managers in Türkiye’s maritime industry placed the greatest emphasis on the Government, Markets, and Positioning themes. While top managers’ strong awareness of global environmental challenges signalled the industry’s awareness of sustainability issues, the fewer codes in the ‘Human Resources’ and ‘Technology’ themes suggested top managers’ limited attention to the working environment, required skills, and management styles. Future research can expand on this study by incorporating additional maritime industry-related magazines and publications and provide broader perspectives.
