Abstract

Teknolojideki gelişmeler, teknolojik değişimlerin gözlemlenmesini ve sürecin işletmelerde gerekli teknolojik gidişata uygun şekilde yürütülmesini sağlamıştır. Bu nedenle işletmeler yönetim stratejilerinde gerekli bazı değişiklikleri yapmışlardır. İşletmeler için süreci yönlendirmek, gerekli değişiklikleri yapmak, işverenler ve çalışanlar arasındaki koordinasyonu sağlamak, geleceğe yönelik iyi bir vizyon oluşturmak için inovasyon temsilcilerini oluşturma sürecine öncülük etmektedirler. İşletmelerde stratejik değişiklikler çerçevesinde yapılan uygulamalar, yeniliklerin toplumda doğrudan veya dolaylı olarak benimsenmesini desteklemektedir. Bu çalışma toplumda teknolojik dönüşüm için alt yapı oluşturmuştur. Teknolojik dönüşümü gerçekleştirmek için toplumun tüm kesimlerinde teknoloji bilincini oluşturmak, fırsat eşitliğinin sağlanması açısından çok önemlidir. Bu çalışmada, literatürde konuyla ilgili kaynaklar taranmış, teknolojik ürünlerin tüketiciler tarafından benimsenmesine ve algılanmasına yönelik farklı kabul modelleri araştırılmış, elde edilen veriler sentezlenmiş, teknoloji temsilcilerinin ve temsilciliklerinin görev ve sorumlulukları anlatılmıştır. Teknoloji yenilik liderlerinin işlev ve rollerinin ele alınmasına göre teknolojik ürünlerin ülkede yaygınlaşmasına katkısı, tüketicilerin dijital teknolojileri benimseme sürecine katkıları tartışılmaktadır.
