Abstract

İşletmeler karşılaştıkları belirsizliklerle başka çıkabilmek için daha
fazla bilgiye sahip olmayı istemektedirler. Fakat günümüzde çok fazla bilgiye
sahip olmakta yeterli olmamakta, aynı zamanda bilginin doğru, güncel, eksiksiz
ve kullanılabilir formda olması da gerekmektedir. Bu yüzden son yıllarda,
tedarik zinciri görünürlüğü konusu oldukça dikkat çekmektedir. Bu çalışmanın
iki temel amacı bulunmaktadır. Birincisi, tedarik zinciri görünürlüğünün
çevikliği nasıl etkilediğini ortaya çıkarmaktır. İkincisi ise, bu iki değişken
arasındaki ilişkide büyük veri analitiğinin düzenleyici (moderatör) etkisini
incelemektir. Söz konusu amaçlara ulaşmak adına geliştirilen hipotezleri test
etmek için kısmi en küçük kareler yapısal eşitlik modeli (PLS-YEM)
kullanılmıştır. Doksan dokuz firma üzerinde yapılan araştırma sonuçları,
görünürlüğün çeviklik üzerinde olumlu bir etkisi olduğunu göstermektedir. Fakat
bu iki değişken arasındaki ilişkide büyük veri analitiğinin düzenleyici etkisi
tespit edilememiştir.

THE EFFECTS OF SUPPLY CHAIN VISIBILITY ON AGILITY

Abstract

Firms aim
to obtain more information to be able to cope with uncertainties that they
encounter. However, having more information is not sufficient today, and the
information also needs to be in an accurate, up-to-date, complete and usable
form. For this reason, in recent years, the issue of supply chain visibility
has attracted much attention. This study has two main objectives. The first one
is to reveal how supply chain visibility affects agility. The second one is to
investigate the moderator effect of the capability of big data analytics in the
relationship between these two variables. To test the hypotheses that were
developed to reach these objectives, partial least squares - structural
equation modelling (PLS-SEM) was utilized. The results of the study conducted
on ninety-nine firms showed that visibility has a positive effect on agility.
However, a moderator effect of big data analytics could not be determined in
the relationship between these two variables.
