Article Citation - WoS: 28Citation - Scopus: 31Benchmarking the Knowledge Management Practices of Construction Firms(Vilnius Gediminas Technical University, 2012) Kale, Serdar; Karaman, Erkan A.Knowledge management is rapidly becoming a key organizational capability for creating competitive advantage in the construction industry. The emergence of knowledge management in this capacity poses enormous challenges to executives of construction firms. This paper proposes a model for benchmarking those knowledge management practices of AEC firms that can guide and assist construction business executives in meeting these challenges. The proposed model incorporates benchmarking and knowledge management concepts with importance-performance analysis (IPA) maps. It is a simple visual tool that can provide powerful diagnostic information to executives of AEC firms by evaluating their firm's knowledge management practices, identifying their firm's comparative advantages and disadvantages with regard to each knowledge management practice, and setting priorities for managerial actions related to knowledge management practices that need improvement. A real-world case study is presented to illustrate the implementation and utility of the proposed model.Article Citation - WoS: 9A Fuzzy Logic Model for Benchmarking the Knowledge Management Performance of Construction Firms(NRC Research Press, 2011) Kale, Serdar; Karaman, Erkan A.Knowledge management is rapidly becoming a key organizational capability for creating competitive advantage in the construction industry. The emergence of knowledge management in this capacity poses enormous challenges to executives of construction firms. This paper proposes a model for benchmarking the knowledge management performance of construction firms that can guide and assist construction business executives in meeting these challenges. The proposed model incorporates benchmarking and knowledge management concepts with fuzzy set theory to adequately handle imprecision, vagueness, and uncertainty that prevail in this process. It uses the fuzzy-weighted average (FWA) algorithm to evaluate the knowledge management performance of construction firms. It is an internal reporting model that can provide powerful diagnostic information to executives of construction firms by evaluating their firm's knowledge management performance, identifying their firm's strengths and weaknesses with regard to each knowledge management practice, and setting priorities for managerial actions related to knowledge management practices that need improvement. A real-world case study is presented to illustrate the implementation and utility of the proposed model.Doctoral Thesis Exploring House Price Dynamics: an Agent-Based Simulation With Behavioral Heterogeneity(İzmir Institute of Technology, 2016) Özbakan, Ahmet Tolga; Kale, SerdarIn contemporary capitalist economies, housing is not only a shelter that satisfies a basic human need. It is also a commodity produced for exchange in markets and an asset for storing and enhancing wealth. As such, its mispricing can have repercussions for individuals, firms, industries, nationwide economies, and for the global economy. The purpose of this dissertation is to explore the price dynamics of this complex entity in an analytically tractable framework. In agreement with a recent but growing body of literature, the study shares the view that incorporating insights from behavioral economics can be valuable in such an undertaking. To support this statement, the dissertation first presents a theoretical framework that situates differing views on house prices in a wider split between neoclassical and behavioral economists. Then, the study proposes an agent-based simulation by extending a prominent real estate market model known as the Four Quadrant Model. Specifically, the extended model seeks to explore the extent to which behavioral heterogeneity and dynamic market behavior enhance the existing explanations of house price dynamics. The dissertation validates the proposed model by running a set of experiments with empirical data obtained from Istanbul’s housing market between January 2010 and September 2015. The results suggest that both the inclusion of behavioral heterogeneity and dynamic behavior are relevant in the exploration of house price dynamics. Based on the theoretical framework and the simulation results, the dissertation calls for action on the part of policy makers, researchers, and members of civic and professional organizations.Book Part Factors Affecting the Learning Process of Professionals in Architectural Design Firms(CRC Press, 2009) Ozturk-Barlak,G.B.; Arditi,D.; Gunaydin,H.M.; Kale,S.; Yitmen,I.Learning is considered to be a sophisticated process and a source of competitiveꀊadvantage. Learning is essential in project-based environments. The one-of-a-kind structure of the operations of architectural design firms triggers special learning needs and requires a continuous learning activity. Learning is considered to improve an architectural design firm’s efficiency by recognizing the role of individuals in enhancing the firm’s objectives. However, theoretical research on individual professionals’ learning process in the architectural design is rather uncommon. The process of individual learning is composed of (1) data acquisition (2) assessment of the acquired information and (3) implementation of the knowledge gained in a group setting. Ten factors were identified to assess the effectiveness of the learning processes of professionals. This study is the first study in the field of architecture that presents a conceptual model about the factors that affect the effectiveness of the learning process of professionals. © 2010 Taylor and Francis Group, London, UK.Article Citation - WoS: 13Citation - Scopus: 25A Diagnostic Model for Assessing the Knowledge Management Practices of Construction Firms(Korean Society of Civil Engineers, 2012) Kale, Serdar; Karaman, Erkan A.Knowledge management is rapidly becoming a key organizational capability for creating competitive advantage in the construction industry. The emergence of knowledge management as a key organizational capability for creating competitive advantage poses enormous challenges to executives of construction firms. This paper proposes a model for benchmarking the knowledge management practices of construction firms that can guide and assist construction business executives to meet these challenges. The proposed model incorporates benchmarking and knowledge management concepts with Importance-Performance Analysis (IPA) and Comparative Performance Analysis (CPA) maps. The IPA and CPA maps are visual management tools that have been commonly used for continuous improvements in processes and the performance of firms. Yet they have not been used in the construction management literature or for evaluating the knowledge management practices. The proposed model can be used by construction firms as an internal performance measurement tool to evaluate their knowledge management practices. It can provide powerful diagnostic information to construction business executives of construction firms in order to evaluate their firm's knowledge management practices, identify their firm's comparative advantages and disadvantages with regard to each knowledge management practice, and set priorities for managerial actions related to knowledge management practices that need improvement. A real-world case study was conducted by administering a survey to 105 construction firms operating in Turkey and is presented to illustrate the implementation and utility of the proposed model.Master Thesis A Statistical Cash Flow Model for Developing Pricing Strategy in the Construction Industry(01. Izmir Institute of Technology, 2021) Söker, Ali İkram; Kale, SerdarThis thesis presents a cash flow model to identify the risks and develop a strategy including pricing for build-and-sell real-estate development projects, in which a flat-for-land agreement is made. Discrete Event Simulation method is used for the uncertain variables and MATCH Uncertainty Elicitation Tool is used to transform expert judgments to probability distributions for variables. The model aims to simplify the complex uncertainties in land acquisition, construction, and selling of the constructed properties and estimate a cash flow to evaluate the risk for profit and negative cash balance during the project. The construction cost, property sales times and prices, advance and monthly payments for each sale are simulated to estimate the cash flow. A real-life case study data was simulated to observe results and test the model. Results of the case study have shown that the risk of loss at the end of the project increases when Net Present Value is calculated as well as the profit decreases because the cash-out flow tends to be more at the early stages of construction while cash-in flow tends to be more near the end. Furthermore, the failure risk of the project was so high because of the months with negative cash balance which is with 77.6 % probability and at a range between 11 to 15 months. Finally, actions such as increasing or decreasing property prices, working capital, loan amount and loan duration to improve the project's performance are discussed together with their impact on profitability while avoiding negative cash balance.Doctoral Thesis A Model for Exploring Evolution of Strategic Alliances in Project-Based Industries - the Case of Construction Industry(Izmir Institute of Technology, 2021) Özçekici Olcar, Çisil; Kale, SerdarOrganizations should be flexible and responsive to today's rapidly changing business environment to sustain their long-term competitive advantage. One important alternative to accomplish this is to engage in strategic alliancing with other organizations. This thesis aims to examine the concept of strategic alliances through networks. It proposes a new configurational model that explores the evolution of strategic alliances in project-based industries with a social network perspective. Here, strategic alliances will be analyzed in terms of configurational network characteristics and alliance project-related characteristics they possess. Turkish Contractors' alliance projects will be under investigation to explore the evolution of an alliance network. This study will utilize a mixed-method technique that can rarely found in construction management studies. Social Network Analysis (SNA) and Qualitative Comparative Analysis (QCA) will be combined to strengthen the interpretations of the data and, consequently, give a more holistic view of the alliance network phenomenon in the construction industry.Article Citation - WoS: 2Citation - Scopus: 2Exploring House Price Dynamics: an Agent-Based Simulation With Behavioral Heterogeneity(Springer Verlag, 2019) Özbakan, Tolga A.; Kale, Serdar; Dikmen, İremThe objective of this study is to contribute to the understanding of price formations in housing markets through an agent-based simulation that conceptualizes insights from behavioral economics. For this purpose, the study uses a prominent real estate market model as a benchmark and extends it to account for (1) behavioral heterogeneity and (2) dynamic agent interaction. The validation of the model is carried out by using real data from the Turkish housing market. The results show that the introduction of a fitness-based behavior-switching regime with myopic agents improves the extent to which the observed market behavior can be replicated, in comparison to the benchmark model.Conference Object Dynamic Recognition of the Nucleosome Core Particle by Select Chromatin Factors(Elsevier B.V., 2025) Döseme, H.; Uluçay, T.; Kale, S.The intricate interactions between the nucleosome core particle and chromatin-binding proteins control essential biological functions templated by DNA. The nucleosome is a symmetrical and disc-shaped nucleoprotein which binds several chromatin factors in a 2:1 stoichiometry. We report computational evidence for a DNA-sequence-driven emergence of asymmetry whereby the nucleosome binding affinities of the chromatin factors are altered on each side even though the protein factors bind chemically equivalent proteinous interfaces of the nucleosome. Furthermore, none of these proteins interact directly with the nucleosomal DNA. Using atomistic molecular dynamics simulations, we surveyed five chromatin factors that are known to bind the nucleosome in a 2:1 stoichiometry. In four factors, we found that the nucleosomal gyre that binds DNA strongly is also more preferred. These factors are Sir3, PRC1, RCC1, and SAGA-DUB. However, a fifth chromatin factor, 53BP1, prefers the gyre with the weaker DNA binding with higher affinity. We argue that this tunability in nucleosome affinity could be related to the function of the chromatin interactors as 53BP1 could prefer loose DNA gyres to execute its DNA repair function. © 2025 The Authors.
