    Financial Constraints and the ESG-Firm Performance Nexus in the Automotive Industry: Evidence From a Global Panel Study
    (MDPI, 2025) Dincergok, Burcu; Pirgaip, Burak
    This study examines the complex relationship between environmental, social, and governance (ESG) and financial performance in the automotive industry, with a particular focus on how financial constraints shape this relationship. Using a global data set for the period 2008 to 2023 and employing a range of panel data techniques, including those addressing endogeneity concerns, we find that higher ESG scores positively affect financial performance. Specifically, a one-point rise in ESG score corresponds to an estimated 1-1.7% increase in the market-to-book ratio, with the effect reaching approximately 1.6% for firms facing financial constraints. These findings highlight the economic significance of ESG engagement, particularly for resource-constrained companies. The novelty of this study is that it focuses on the automotive sector, an industry with limited ESG-specific research, and that it makes a theoretical contribution by linking ESG performance outcomes to financial constraints, an angle largely overlooked in prior research. The findings offer critical policy insights, emphasizing the strategic importance of ESG initiatives for value creation under varying financial conditions.

    Turkuaz: the Modernization of an Erp Application With Agile Methodology in the Automotive Sector in Turkey
    (Association for Computing Machinery, 2021) Senyurt,B.S.; Yuksel,H.B.; Asilsamanci,E.; Ozkil,A.
    Thanks to the increased computing power of processors, developers can develop more complex software applications. Software developers need to follow the software design life cycle to meet consistent high standard software output. The only constant component of software projects is human. The diversity of the teams leads to different understandings during the exchange of information and communication between the teams. Using the traditional method can create inefficient processes and lower quality products. In addition, code readability, code management becomes difficult, and technical debt increases as overtime. The Agile method provides flexibility and high efficiency to teams. Teams that adopt the agile method have advantages in interaction with the customer, in rapid response to changes, and in strong communication. This paper presents the modernization of the teams experiencing the difficulties of the traditional method with the agile method with a real case study. Within the scope of modernization, it has been worked on under three main headings: changing the module-based way of doing business, reducing technical borrowing and renewing distribution strategies. With this transformation, we are able to prioritize customer requests, measure the value of the business, constantly make useful parts available, easily maintain software, and allocate time for new ideas. © 2021 ACM.
