Digital Twin Technology and Digital Entrepreneurs: On the Trail of Digital Transformation Towards A Sustainable Future

Year 2023, Volume: 7 Issue: 13, 86 - 100, 31.12.2023

Abstract

Digital twin technology enables the development of sustainable business models for digital entrepreneurs through factors such as product lifecycle optimization, waste reduction and carbon footprint reduction. In this way, digital entrepreneurs embrace the principles of sustainability in terms of both innovation and environmental responsibility and utilize the potential of digital twin technology in this context.
In this context, it is important to explore how today's technological innovations and entrepreneurial spirit can serve as a tool to build a sustainable future and how digital twin technology and digital entrepreneurs can contribute to addressing environmental and social issues.
The aim of the research is to examine digital entrepreneurs' approaches to digital twin technology and to evaluate these outputs from a sustainability perspective. For this purpose, digital entrepreneurs' perceptions of digital twin technology were evaluated with the technology acceptance model (TAM). As a result of the model tested with structural equation analysis, among the variables of TAM model; ease of use has a significant effect on perceived usefulness, perceived usefulness has a significant effect on attitude and intention, and attitude has a significant effect on intention. However, it was observed that ease of use had no significant effect on attitude.

Dijital İkiz Teknolojisi ve Dijital Girişimciler: Sürdürülebilir Bir Geleceğe Doğru Dijital Dönüşümün İzinde

Year 2023, Volume: 7 Issue: 13, 86 - 100, 31.12.2023

Abstract

Dijital ikiz teknolojisi, ürün yaşam döngüsü optimizasyonu, atık azaltımı ve karbon ayak izinin azaltılması gibi faktörler aracılığıyla dijital girişimciler için sürdürülebilir iş modellerinin geliştirilmesine olanak sağlamaktadır. Bu sayede dijital girişimciler hem inovasyon hem de çevresel sorumluluk açısından sürdürülebilirlik ilkelerini benimsemekte ve dijital ikiz teknolojisinin bu bağlamdaki potansiyelinden faydalanmaktadır.
Bu bağlamda, günümüzün teknolojik yeniliklerinin ve girişimcilik ruhunun sürdürülebilir bir gelecek inşa etmek için nasıl bir araç olarak hizmet edebileceğini ve dijital ikiz teknolojisinin ve dijital girişimcilerin çevresel ve sosyal sorunların ele alınmasına nasıl katkıda bulunabileceğini araştırmak önemlidir.
Araştırmanın amacı, dijital girişimcilerin dijital ikiz teknolojisine yaklaşımlarını incelemek ve bu çıktıları sürdürülebilirlik perspektifinden değerlendirmektir. Bu amaçla dijital girişimcilerin dijital ikiz teknolojisine yönelik algıları teknoloji kabul modeli (TAM) ile değerlendirilmiştir. Yapısal eşitlik analizi ile test edilen model sonucunda, TAM modelinin değişkenlerinden; kullanım kolaylığının algılanan fayda üzerinde, algılanan faydanın tutum ve niyet üzerinde, tutumun ise niyet üzerinde anlamlı bir etkiye sahip olduğu görülmüştür. Ancak kullanım kolaylığının tutum üzerinde anlamlı bir etkisinin olmadığı görülmüştür.
