Abstract

Çin Halk Cumhuriyetinde ortaya çıkan koronavirüsün Almanya’ya da ciddi bir şekilde etkileri olmuştur. Ülkede bir çok sektör pandemi ilk çıktığı dönemlerde birkaç hafta faaliyetlerini durdurmuştur. Avrupa’nın en güçlü ekonomisine sahip olan Almanya’nın bilgi teknolojileri alanında dünyada etkili ülkelerden birisi olduğu bilinmektedir. Koronavirüs ile insanların iş, eğitim ve sosyal faaliyetlerini yoğunlukla dijital dünyaya aktarması, bilgi teknolojileri alanını daha da önemli kılmıştır. Almanya başta Amerika Birleşik Devletleri olmak üzere bazı ülkeler ile bu alanda ciddi bir rekabet içerisindedir. Bu çalışmanın amacı, bilgi teknolojileri alanında Almanya’da faaliyet gösteren önemli şirketlere koronavirüsün etkisinin araştırılmasıdır. Araştırmada Infineon Technologies, Deutsche Telekom, Wirecard ve SAP şirketleri ele alınmıştır. Almanya ve uluslararası pazarda rekabet içerisinde bulunan bu şirketlerin endeks değerlerindeki verileri ile Almanya’daki günlük koronavirüs vaka sayıları arasındaki ilişki incelenmiştir. SPSS paket programı ile yapılan analizler neticesinde, elde edilen bulgulara göre şirketlerin endeks değerlerini gösteren veri ile koronavirüs vaka sayısı arasında istatistiksel olarak anlamlı bir ilişki olduğu anlaşılmıştır. Almanya’da eğitim, yatırım, finans, sağlık gibi bir çok sektörde dijitalleşmeye geçilmesi ile teknoloji sektöründe rekabet hız kazanacaktır. Pandeminin bu sektöre etkisinin araştırılması da geleceğe yönelik çalışmalara katkı sağlayacağı öngörülmektedir.

A Research on the Impact of Pandemic on Information Technology Companies in Germany

Abstract

The coronavirus, which had firstly emerged in the People's Republic of China, had also serious effects on Germany. Many sectors in the country stopped their activities for few weeks when the pandemic first broke out. It is known that Germany, which has the strongest economy of Europe, is one of the most effective countries in the world in the field of information technologies. People's transferring their business, education and social activities to the digital world in the pandemic, has made the field of information technologies even more important than before. Germany is in serious competition with some countries, especially the United States of America. The purpose of this study is to investigate the effect of coronavirus pandemic on German’s IT companies. The findings of the research have been strategically evaluated after the analysis. Infineon Technologies, Deutsche Telekom, Wirecard and SAP companies which are in competition in German and the international markets, were discussed in the research. The relationship between the index values of these companies, and the daily number of coronavirus cases in Germany has been examined in the research. The analysis has been resulted by SPSS package program and it was found that there was a relationship between the data showing the index values of the companies and the number of coronavirus cases in Germany. Competition in the technology sector will gain speed with the transition to digitalization in many sectors such as education, investment, finance, and health in Germany. It is predicted that researching the effect of the pandemic on IT sector will also contribute to future studies.
