Administration
Chapter 2
Our department has no special administrative office, we are communicating in the way of nature! Departmental issues are discussed in the departmental board meetings which are holding at least one session per month. Faculty members have rights to vote on decisions while we are seeking a consensus.
2.1. Code of Ethics and Code of Research
There are two comprehensive examples which can be considered to define department's code of ethics. We hope somebody need to write it in the future for the department itself. Until then, these two seem to be meaningful for the department.
ACM Code of Ethics and Professional Conduct, https://www.acm.org/about/code-of-ethics
Software Engineering Code of Ethics and Professional Practice, https://www.acm.org/about/se-code
There is a well written code of research from AIS, maybe we can put some issues on the table for Turkish academia soon.

2.2. Delegation and Tasking
Chair's office is the main contact point and it is responsible for ALL activities of the department in the official sense. Assigning various tasks to members of the department is one of the tasks of the chair's office. All assignments should be ready to discuss, present, or share at the due date by the respective members.

The Department of Management Information Systems developed written policies in order to set a clear shared expectation for processes that we will hold ourselves accountable to the school (see Appendices).
2.4. Communication
We communicate each other via mobile phone calls, text messages, and e-mail messages. Additionally some mobile apps like WhatsApp are really helpful for sharing instant ideas, photos, or short documents. In the professional sense, we are using Microsoft 365.
Our department has an X (Twitter) account, @ybs_bakircayedu and an Instagram account, @ybs_bakircayedu to share some important topics and valuable links with students.
2.5. Websites and Content Management System
We have two websites; the official one, https://ybs.bakircay.edu.tr is integral part of the corporate identity and the chair's portal, http://mis.academy is dedicated to more daily functions of the department.
We are using Mediawiki as a content management system (CMS) and a website. All information about the department is always updated on the chair's portal, http://mis.academy.
