A TRAVELER TOWARDS WORLD CITIZENSHIP
I would like to start a discussion. Do you think that we have ascribed a deeper meaning to the “customer” concept than we needed to? In 1990s, we discovered that “the customer is the king”. It was one of the indicators that we abandoned the philosophy "You have to buy whatever we produce", and moved on ...
Look at the background of a dress that you paid a lot of money to buy. Question the company that manufactured it. Look into its relationships with its employees and suppliers. Look through its purchase contracts. You don’t have to read its policies about environmental awareness. Just ask non-governmental organisations how much these policies are ...
If historians wanted to give a name to the twentieth century a few years later, they wouldn’t be able to find a better word than "Monopoly". We used to play Monopoly not only when we were young but also when we got older. Back then, we would sit down to play Monopoly as a board game. ...

In other words, we borrow them from nature. However, we never want ...
Salim Kadibesegil is one of the most important names in Turkey in terms of strategic communication management and reputation, but his real distinguishing feature is that he has been thinking over social benefit, ecology and sustainability for a very long time as well as acting about them. We have asked difficult questions about the physical ...
“The multi-cornered scandal of a round ball”. This heading was written by Ertugrul Ozkok. He discussed in detail what was happening at independent FIFA in his column, in Hurriyet. Ozkok was talking about Chuck Blazer. You will remember Chuck Blazer as someone who is known for the way he spends his money more than the ...
I don’t know how countries were measuring their development levels in 1500s. When asked, I didn’t have a satisfactory reply yet. There are some indicators on size and power in the war battles, but these are not indicators of welfare levels. In 20th century, dollar was measured as the indicators of development, welfare and so called ...
