Abstract
The Ahi community represents an outstanding example of how various organizational structures and roles have successfully collaborated in the past, making it a suitable subject for business history research. The triangular structure, a fundamental multidimensional design where communication, interaction, and mutual integration occur, serves as the foundation for our research. Due to these structural features, various functions have been successfully implemented within a single organizational framework. Akhism, particularly from its inception until it evolved into the Gedik organization, had a distinct organizational structure compared to most contemporary organizations, successfully amalgamating various functions of fütüvvet, production, and bravery based on necessities. The primary reason the Ahi Community has sustained its presence over a long period is its robust approach to organization and business operations. The research aims to answer the questions: "What are the paradigms of organizational digitization?" and "How will they impact established historical communities?". The research methodology involves analyzing the Ahi community's organizational structures and comparing them with current digitization trends. The main findings indicate that the Ahi community could indeed be impacted by current organizational trends, such as digitization. The added value of this research lies in identifying the strengths and weaknesses of the Ahi Community's organizational structure and providing recommendations for adapting to new global trends. The conclusions suggest that although the Ahi Community has had a robust way of organizing and conducting its activities, it is crucial to adapt to new digitization paradigms to maintain its relevance in the modern world.
