Article Citation - WoS: 41Citation - Scopus: 65Adoption Factors of Electronic Health Record Systems(Elsevier Ltd., 2019) Spatar, Daria; Kök, Orhun; Başoğlu, Ahmet Nuri; Daim, Tuğrul U.The main goal of the study is to investigate the factors that affect adoption of EHR systems. The adoption has been looked at through four lenses: users' satisfaction, impact on quality of care, infusion and diffusion of the technology. The study incorporates the results of the most important studies in the field. The findings of the research allow decision-makers to select an EHR that better suits needs of the users, to choose a strategy to avoid users' resistance and lack of support. The study offers a comprehensive framework that can be used in different settings, i.e. small and large clinics, developing and developed countries, etc. Also it contributes to the state of knowledge, as it provides an extensive analysis of the factors, both system- and user-related, that affect user adoption and proves applicability of TAM in the healthcare settings.Article Citation - WoS: 22Exploring Adoption of Augmented Reality Smart Glasses: Applications in the Medical Industry(Higher Education Press, 2018) Başoğlu, Nuri; Göken, Müge; Dabic, Marina; Özdemir Güngör, Dilek; Daim, Tuğrul ÜnsalThis study explores the use of augmented reality smart glasses (ARSGs) by physicians and their adoption of these products in the Turkish medical industry. Google Glass was used as a demonstrative example for the introduction of ARSGs. We proposed an exploratory model based on the technology acceptance model by Davis. Exogenous factors in the model were defined by performing semi-structured in-depth interviews, along with the use of an expert panel in addition to the technology adoption literature. The framework was tested by means of a field study, data was collected via an Internet survey, and path analysis was used. The results indicate that there were a number of factors to be considered in order to understand ARSG adoption by physicians. Usefulness was influenced by ease of use, compatibility, ease of reminding, and speech recognition, while ease of use was affected by ease of learning, ease of medical education, external influence, and privacy. Privacy was the only negative factor that reduced the perceived ease of use, and was found to indirectly create a negative attitude. Compatibility emerged as the most significant external factor for usefulness. Developers of ARSGs should pay attention to healthcare-specific requirements for improved utilization and more extensive adoption of ARSGs in healthcare settings. In particular, they should focus on how to increase the compatibility of ARSGs. Further research needs to be conducted to explain the adoption intention of physicians.Article Citation - WoS: 1An Apprenticeship Project: Silversmithing in Kapalicarsi (the Grand Bazaar)(Intellect Ltd., 2019) Tarcan, Berilsu; Cox, Ayça TunçVarious cultural objects, crafts and traditional production techniques from Turkey have been research subjects in the field of design studies in recent years. During this time, definitions of tradition, culture and craft have changed and, therefore, these changes need to be revisited, in particular relating to product design. This study explores these changes through a field study conducted in Istanbul, Turkey, one of the key areas of craft production. Focusing on silversmithing, a traditional craft in Turkey, the study seeks to identify new ways in which craft can be used in and lead to the design of new products. The field study was conducted with students from the Industrial Design Department of Istanbul Bilgi University during their second-year studio course. For the study, they were paired with craftsmen in the Kapalicarsi (the Grand Bazaar) area, one of the most well-known and historic craft neighbourhoods in Istanbul. The aim was to investigate the relationship between traditional craft methods, craft knowledge and contemporary product design, specifically to find out how traditional craft knowledge and methods can be used to inform contemporary product design, and in return, how the craftspeople might benefit from this exchange.Article Citation - WoS: 2Citation - Scopus: 3Portrayal of Turkish-German Migratory Relations in Turkish Films of the 1980s: a Call for an Alternative Reading(Routledge, 2019) Tunç Cox, AyçaPopular imagination of an age-old and very common phenomenon - migration - depends on images and stories in circulation. Mediated images of migration, refugees and diasporas play an important role in ethnic and cultural identification processes. This article explores how Turkey has accounted for its own diasporic subjects through cinematic narratives. Focusing on two salient Turkish examples from the 1980s that contradict the dominant narrative tendencies in Turkish-German/German films of the time, this article aims to present a fresh outlook. It strives to explore how these films question stereotypes and problematize essentialist readings of Turkishness and nationhood via a descriptive-interpretive analysis.Article Citation - WoS: 49Citation - Scopus: 52What Will It Take To Adopt Smart Glasses: a Consumer Choice Based Review?(Elsevier Ltd., 2017) Başoğlu, Ahmet Nuri; Ok, Ali Emre; Daim, Tuğrul U.Wearable technologies have become a reality already. Their impact in some fields has already been seen. We explore the factors which are important and help the adoption of these technologies. Specifically we study the adoption factors of smart glasses. Technology adoption process depends on preferences and needs of people who use the systems under study. We explore these phenomenon through two frameworks: Product Characteristics and User Intention Characteristics. The purpose of the first framework is to examine the effects of smart glass design features; Stand-alone device, field of view, interaction, price, and display resolution on user preference through an experimental study and we use conjoint analysis. The second framework explore many more factors such as self-efficacy, anxiety, involvement, risk-task characteristics, enjoyment, usefulness, ease of use, attitude and intention. A web survey supplemented by visual aids was used.Article Citation - WoS: 6Citation - Scopus: 7A Study on the Relationship Between Task, Information, and Individual Performance(Elsevier Ltd., 2016) Çayır, Sinan; Başoğlu, Ahmet Nuri; Daim, Tuğrul U.The goal of this study was to find an abstract model that would address the relationship between information and task and thus lead to better business performance. The relationships among information, task, and performance are analyzed in the natural environment against job-related beliefs and technology. The final instrument was applied to professionals mainly from the Finance and Information and Communication Technology (ICT) sectors. Statistical analyses were used to quantify the relationships. The goal of the study was also to develop a model of task information fit (TIF). Results indicate that the tool has been successful and models the underlying structure between system characteristics, task characteristics, information characteristics, and their impact on perceived business success to some degree. A reduced TIF model was targeted to discover the relation between task characteristics, information characteristics, and their effect on business performance on a per-item basis. The correlations between the items supported the proposed relations.Article Citation - WoS: 3Citation - Scopus: 5Comparative Analysis of Recruitment Qualifications of Industrial Designers in Turkey Through Undergraduate Education Programs and Online Recruitment Resources(Springer Verlag, 2013) Erkarslan, Önder; Kaya, Nazife Aslı; Dilek, ÖzgünAlthough the term "industrial designer" is a well known title, the understanding of industrial design as a profession is still unclear, as evidenced by its application in the sector. In light of this, schools of industrial design should, despite the immense contributions to the sector made by their past graduates, continuously revise their curricula and review their deficiencies to provide a better correlation between their graduates and the needs of the industry. The aim of this study is to ascertain the role of the industrial designer from the perspective of industry by analyzing the specifications stated in job adverts for the recruitment of industrial designers. This study was conducted in three phases. In the first phase, an in-depth literature review was completed. The second phase was dedicated to the identification of the industrial designer in terms of education institutions, and to realize this, the curricula and course contents of industrial design undergraduate programs selected from ten universities in Turkey were analyzed. The third phase was directed towards identifying the profile of the industrial designer from the perspective of industry. Thus, the analyses were made through an investigation of the job opportunities available in the industrial design profession announced in seven major job search websites during the last 4 months of 2009. The results of this study are crucial for all parties involved as they help to satisfy the recruitment expectations of industrial design education, the industry, and the graduates.
