Abstract :
It is well known that it is the tradition of Istanbul University Journal of the School of Business Administration to devote each issue to the invaluable professors who left a trace. And we have decided to devote this issue to Professor Erdogan Kumcu. It cannot be denied that Kumcu acted like an honorary education ambassador to the Ball State University leaving a lot of invaluable works behind. Since I did not have the honor to meet Prof. Kumcu in person, allow me to express my deepest respect for this distinguished personality and to celebrate his fertile imagination.
