New communication technologies and many new concepts, which meet societies and trying to make sense of them, emerge in the axis of social changes and transformations at a dizzying pace. Gambling underlines the rhetoric that societies can no longer be treated with old concepts and theories and it states that after the industry western societies have become post-modern and even post-history (Kumar, 1995). These concepts, which are used to express the new world order and are constantly renewed, constitute the center of the debate on globalization. Each society develops a technological infrastructure whose form belongs to them. The characteristic of information age related to computer and computer-oriented developments, microchip, which is the main element of information technologies, consists of almost all information. While the industrial society is shaped by the presence of steel and the products connected to it; it is the concept of information production that determines the development criterion of the information society. In this context, Bozkurt focuses on the determinism of the processing and distribution of the production of information and its distinctiveness from the industrial society. (Bozkurt, 1997) In the process of transition to an information society, the transformation is not only in the product services produced but also in the quality of human resources. The unqualified worker based on the arm power of the industrial society is now replaced by the information worker. Human resources are among the most important competitive instruments in terms of enterprises. The necessity of having knowledge about marketing philosophy, aims, and applications of enterprises has emerged. While industrial products are emerging as tangible assets at the center of industrial society, in information societies, the information itself, the concepts under the leadership of the creativity and the thought become important (Köseoğlu, 2006).
