TEKNOLOJİ TRANSFERİNİN TOPLAM KALİTE YÖNETİMİNE ETKİSİ

Abstract

The aim of this study is to determine whether technology transfer affects on the total quality management. In order to achieve this purpose, a survey was conducted on the companies by sending out a questionnaire. 200 manufacturing companies participated in our research. Structural equation modeling was used for research model analysis. The results of research show that technology transfer affects total quality management positively and technology transfer performance have difference effects on the different total quality management criteria. Technology transfer performance have the most impact on innovation management, knowledge and analysis criteria.
