Abstract

Purpose: In the article, it was aimed to investigate a theoretical model for the combined effects of structural factors on innovation in organizations.
Method: Data obtained from the interviews with top executives in the Turkish banking sector, were examined by descriptive and content analysis in the context of the research.
Findings: The preliminary results of relation model formed the conceptual framework and the reference intensity revealed a compound effect of the "environmental, competition and technical system" situational factors on innovativeness of the organizations. Among the innovation factors, the results also show that “corporate culture and senior management support, budget and resources, technological tools and processes” are determinant with the innovation ecosystem.
Originality: The empirical study to be carried out using the innovation ecosystem model will contribute to the relevant literature. Furthermore, the results of the study can be evaluated in the innovational transformation, reorganization and efficiency practices at sectoral scale.

ÖRGÜT YAPILARININ YENİLİKÇİLİK ÜZERİNDEKİ ETKİLERİ: BANKACILIK SEKTÖRÜNDE KAVRAMSAL BİR MODEL TASARIMI

Abstract

Amaç: Makalede, örgüt yapısını meydana getiren yapısal faktörlerin yenilikçiliğe olan bileşik etkilerine yönelik kuramsal bir modelin araştırılması amaçlanmıştır.
Yöntem: Makaleye konu olan araştırma kapsamında; Türkiye bankacılık sektöründen üst düzey yöneticilerle yapılan görüşmeler, gözlemler ve bankalardan sağlanan veriler betimsel ve içerik analiziyle incelenmiştir.
Bulgular: Kavramsal çerçeve kısmında oluşturulan ilişki modeli ile kodlamaya bağlı referans yoğunluğu kullanılarak gerçekleştirilen araştırmanın pilot çalışma kısmındaki öncül sonuçlar “çevre, rekabet ve teknik sistem” durumsal faktörlerinin örgütlerin yenilikçiliğe bileşik etkisine işaret etmektedir. Yenilikçilik faktörleri içerisinde ise “kurum kültürü ve üst yönetim desteği, bütçe ve kaynaklar, teknolojik araç ve süreçlerin” belirleyici olduğunu gösteren sonuçlar, örgütlerin inovasyon ekosistemi ile olan ilişkilerini meydana getiren unsurların yenilikçiliğe olan etkisine dikkat çekmektedir.
Özgünlük: Araştırmanın ortaya koymuş olduğu inovasyon ekosistem modeli kullanılarak yapılacak ampirik çalışma ilgili alan yazına katkı sağlayacaktır. Ayrıca sektörel ölçekte gerçekleştirilecek inovasyon dönüşümü, reorganizasyon ve verimlilik uygulamalarında da çalışmanın sonuçları değerlendirilebilecektir
