KİŞİSEL ve ÜRÜN TEMELLİ YENİLİKÇİLİK: CEP TELEFONU KULLANICILARI ÜZERİNE AMPİRİK BİR UYGULAMA

Abstract

Yeni ürünlere yönelik talebin hacmi, yeniliklerin kabulü ve yayılması süreciyle ilgilidir. Bazı bireyler yeni teknolojileri kabul etmeye daha eğilimlidir. Literatürde tüketici yenilikçiliğinin tüketici davranış ve özellikleriyle ilişkili olduğu ileri sürülmektedir. Tüketici yenilikçiliğinin hem kişisel hem de belirli bir ürün kategorisi düzeyinde incelenen bir kavram olduğu görülmektedir. Bu çalışmada, tüketici yenilikçiliği kavramı hem kişisel özellik hem de belirli bir ürün kategorisi düzeyinde ele alınarak; risk alma eğilimi ve öz saygı gibi kişisel özelliklerle fikir liderliği, uzmanlık ve sosyal kimlik fonksiyonu gibi ürün kategorisine özgü kişisel özelliklerin bu iki yenilikçilik boyutu üzerindeki etkisi incelenmiştir. Bulgular, oluşturulan faktörlerin anlamlılığını ortaya koymaktadır.
