The adoption of sustainable energy not only improves our quality of life, but also ensures that we leave a habitable world for future generations. These policies can play a role in the changing of variables that affect all aspects of society, from national security to economic growth. Such important sustainable energy policies must be properly directed with the right policies. If not properly channeled, it is an undisputed fact that they can cause serious problems. Sustainable energy policies should be used effectively within the framework of existing goals. While national circumstances or special positions may sometimes change policies, changes are usually observed in the forms of implementation rather than policies. Just as different prescriptions can be written for individuals with the same diagnosis in the treatment of a disease, the same is true for sustainable energy policies. Policies must be carefully and meticulously created. Market structures, social order, and current habits should not be overlooked within the scope of policies. The successful development of policies can be achieved through everyone taking responsibility. Sustainable energy policies are strategically important for countries and individuals.Öğe Role of agility in the banking sector in competitive globalization era: Evidence from the Turkish banking sector(IGI Global, 2019) Mızrak, Kagan Cenk; Mızrak, FilizIn today's rapidly changing market conditions, organizations need to be agile to gain a competitive market advantage.

The increase in the share of renewable energy sources in the energy portfolio ensures that the renewable energy obtained from local sources is controlled nationally. Since energy is obtained by using local resources, control can be achieved completely. Ensuring the control of energy resources constitutes a priority step towards ensuring supply security. An important element of energy supply security is to ensure continuity of access to energy while meeting energy needs. If the continuity of access to energy is affected by any political, political, or economic factor and dragged into a negative direction, it is a risk factor for energy supply security. Reducing or eliminating the current risk will be possible by focusing on renewable energy sources. Investments in renewable energy resources will reduce foreign dependency as it will ensure energy supply stability through energy management and control. The fragility of access to energy will decrease. Energy supply security will be ensured by reducing the vulnerability of energy access. In this context, renewable energy investments are a factor that needs to be increased to ensure energy supply security.Öğe An evaluation for the use of alternative vehicle technologies and energy resources in logistic sector with a strategic approach(Springer Science and Business Media Deutschland GmbH, 2022) Mızrak, FilizIncreasing global energy consumption results in important problems. The decrease in traditional energy resources such as oil, coal, and natural gas reveals the necessity of using these resources more efficiently. In this scope, being one of the most key functions in the workflow of most business, logistics activities should be taken into consideration since these activities have a direct impact on issues such as environment, air pollution, and climate change. It is known that 60% of the oil and 25% of the energy used in the world is consumed by the transportation sector. This situation directly concerns environmental sustainability. In this respect, the purpose of the study is to review the most recent literature to evaluate the alternative vehicle technologies and fuels for logistic activities and propose the most practical, environmental friendly, and cheapest technology. As a result of the evaluation, it has been found out that electrical vehicles can be the most convenient ones in terms of sustainable logistics activities despite some drawbacks. Thus, some strategies have been put forward to increase the use of these vehicles in the near future.Öğe An analysis of the relationship between sustainable fuel management and competitive strategy in the aviation industry(Springer Science and Business Media Deutschland GmbH, 2022) Mızrak, Filiz; Türk, Abdullah; Mızrak, Kağan CenkAir transport is currently carried out with conventional aviation fuel derived from petroleum. However, it has been known that this fuel is not sustainable. The sector functions with many constraints due to its nature. Many problems need to be considered, such as mandatory aerodromes, capacity constraints, high labor costs, and of course, mandatory rules that must be endured for safe flight. When fuel, which is the biggest cost item, is added to all these, the strategic side of the management perspective becomes a more sensitive issue. In this context, the aim of the study is to develop various strategies to provide competitive advantage to airline companies with sustainable fuel management. The latest studies in the literature have been analyzed in this respect and as a result, various strategies have been proposed for airline companies to provide sustainable competitive advantage.Öğe Öğe The historical importance of the concept of business ethics and evaluation in terms of employees in human resources(IGI Global, 2021) Adıgüzel, ZaferTo provide a better and happier society, the framework of certain principles and the history of the concept of ethics aims to direct the people's behaviours constituting that society.

Three different Islamic banks operating in Turkey were taken to the scope of review. Within this framework, six different variables that are important for the banking sector have been identified. The data of these variables in the 2010-2018 period were analyzed by ARIMA method, and six different models were established. As a result, it is predicted that Islamic banking will grow in the future, and its profitability will increase. However, the ratio of non-performing loans is expected to increase, and capital is expected to decrease. Therefore, Islamic banks should be more cautious in this growth process. In this context, it is important to conduct an effective credibility analysis of customers to be loaned. This situation has a contributing effect on the sustainable economic development of the country.Öğe Determining optimal islamic financing methods for small-scale sustainable energy investments regarding socio-economic welfare(Springer Science and Business Media Deutschland GmbH, 2021) Kalkavan, Hakan; Eti, SerkanThe aim of this study is to determine appropriate Islamic financing methods (IFMs) for sustainable energy investments to reach a wider community. Since energy investments are costly projects, their financing should be carried out in the most efficient way. Likewise, the provision of environmentally friendly energy resources is essential for a sustainable human-society-nature balance. As a human duty to prevent climate change, everyone should be aware of personal consumption according to ecologically friendly. In this context, the use of Islamic financing instruments can help spread sustainable energy investments, particularly across Muslim countries. In terms of small-scale investments, it would be significant for the sustainable energy investments to reach people with religious sensitivity, as Islamic financial institutions have a closer business relationship with both SMEs and end-users. To put it briefly, it is vital to make the most appropriate decision regarding sustainable energy investments, considering the economic limitations of countries and people. According to the analysis result of the MCDM based AHP method; Murabaha financing comes to the fore in small-scale energy investments. Accordingly, Murabaha (cost-plus) financing can be a good alternative to interest-bearing credits with a variable interest rate. Respectively, the second-best weighted IFM is found as Mudarabah which is a special type of partnership where one party is a financier, and the other is an entrepreneur. In reverse, the least suitable method has been found as Ijarah. Thus, the Islamic banking system should develop various business models for energy investments through these two most appropriate IFMs. So much so that, thanks to small-scale sustainable energy investments, both environmentally friendly carbon emissions will be reduced, and the country’s external energy imports will be reduced via the production of extra energy. As a result, shifting from anthropocentric to ecocentric lifestyle that is self-sufficient in terms of energy and compatible with the environment can be generated for the sake of sustainability.
