This study was conducted to determine the relationship among individuals' innovative competencies, management innovation, and organizational performance. This quantitative study was conducted with 531 business employees operating in various sectors at national and international levels, and the survey method was preferred as the data collection tool. The developed hypotheses within the scope of the study were tested by using Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS). As a result, significant findings were obtained in the relationship and impact analysis dimensions among innovation competencies, management innovation, and organizational performance. The results depict that innovation competencies and management innovation have a positive and significant effect on organizational performance (?=0.470, p<0.01; ?=0.503, p<0.01, respectively). Additionally, it was concluded that management innovation has a positive and significant mediating effect on the relationship between innovation competence and organizational performance (?=0.175; p<0.01).

The banking system’s role as an intermediary between depositors and borrowers makes its stability a crucial element of the economy. Individual bank stability impacts the stability of the financial sector and, consequently, the real sector and economic growth. This study is a detailed investigation of bank stability scores for the Turkish banking sector. Turkey experienced a major banking crisis from 2000 to 2001. However, with an improved regulatory environment and structural reforms, its resilience to shocks increased significantly in subsequent years. The present study contributes to the literature in three areas. First, it applies eight variations of the Z-score to the Turkish banking sector to test the importance of time and risk variation. Second, it investigates the impact on stability scores of several factors–the implementation of new capital regulations and Basel III liquidity rules, the Turkish lira crisis and the effects of COVID-19). Finally, it measures the contribution to systemic risk of each Turkish bank using the leave-one-out (LOO) Z-score method; this is the first study to use this method to analyse the contribution of different bank types to the overall stability of the sector.

This study aims to identify the most influential blockchain types for potential implementation areas in the transforming mobility ecosystem, considering application area-specific needs such as transparency, transaction speed, scalability, energy usage, security, and operating cost. The study demonstrated the hybrid blockchain suitability for most of the 13 distinguished mobility applications, while private and consortium blockchains are found applicable based on the needs of specific use cases. A public blockchain is only found suitable for two of the use cases. Proof of Authority and Proof of Stake matches well with most use cases, while Practical Byzantine Fault Tolerance and Proof of Work could be suitable in particular.
