Abstract

Strategic R&D, innovation and technology can be described as the “tremendous strategic triad” which makes the competitive price elasticity of the demand of target customers in the national and global markets harder, which serves as the locomotive in the economic growth and export of enterprises, sectors and countries. This trio has become strategically competitive weapons since the early 2000s. In this regard, it is seen that nine sectors have come to the forefront strategically on a global scale and these have become the medium and long-term “strategy documents of countries”. In this study, the current effects and future importance of strategic R&D, innovations and technology on the economic growth in terms of strategic management, export and national scale are emphasized, inter-business and international comparisons are made and the relationship between R&D and export is presented.

STRATEJİK YÖNETİM AÇISINDAN STRATEJİK AR-GE FAALİYETLERİNİN İHRACATA VE EKONOMİK BÜYÜMEYE ETKİLERİ

Abstract

Stratejik Ar-Ge, yenilik ve teknoloji, işletmelerin, sektörlerin, ülkelerin büyümesinde ve ihracatında, lokomotif görevi gören, ulusal ve küresel pazarlardaki hedef müşterilerin talebinin rekabetçi fiyat elastikiyetini göreceli olarak sert hale getiren “müthiş stratejik üçlü” olarak nitelendirilebilir. Bu stratejik üçlü 2000’li yılların başından itibaren, stratejik rekabetçi silahlar haline gelmiştir. Bu konuda, küresel ölçekte, stratejik olarak, dokuz sektörün ön plana çıktığını, bunların, ülkelerin/ülkeler topluluklarının orta ve uzun vadeli “strateji belgeleri “ haline dönüştüğü görülmektedir. Yapılan araştırmalarda ve Türkiye örneğinde, Ar-Ge bütçesi ile ihracat ve ekonomik büyüme arasında yakın bir korelasyon olduğu görülmektedir. Bu korelasyonun ileri teknoloji ürünlerinde daha yüksek olması beklenmektedir. Bu çalışmada, stratejik yönetim açısından, ihracat ölçeğinde ve ulusal ölçekte stratejik Ar-Ge’nin, yeniliklerin ve teknolojinin ekonomik büyüme üzerinde mevcut etkileri, gelecekteki önemi üzerinde durulmakta, işletmeler arası ve uluslararası kıyaslamalar yapılmakta, Ar-Ge ve ihracat arasındaki ilişkiye yer verilmektedir.
