Technological Development and SMEs: A General Literature Review and Modeling the Process of Adaptation to Technological Development with Evolutionary Game Theory

Year 2024, Volume: 3 Issue: 1, 17 - 47, 22.07.2024

Abstract

The aim of this study is to examine the advantages of small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in adopting technological developments, which are one of the important determinants of the globalization era. We are also going to examine the main obstacles and difficulties in the adoption of technological developments. Today, the world is working to develop new economic models that include less poverty, more employment and sustainable production. SMEs are of great importance in achieving these goals. However, although SMEs are a vital component in increasing the economic growth rates of countries, they have problems reaching their full potential if they cannot benefit from technological development sufficiently. This situation appears as one of the obstacles to countries reaching their potential growth levels. Therefore, the obstacles that prevent SMEs from keeping up with technological change and development should be identified and eliminated accurately. In the first part of the study, the importance and history of technological development will be discussed, in the second part, a literature review on the effects of technological development on SMEs will be conducted, and in the last part, the adoption process of new technology will be modeled using evolutionary game theory tools. Evolutionary game theory differs from classical game theory by questioning the existence of rational decision makers, incorporating people's special histories, emotionality, stubbornness, altruism, conformism and other emotions into modeling. With replicator dynamics, it allows the creation of realistic models.

Teknolojik Gelişim ve KOBİ’ler: Genel Bir Literatür İncelemesi ve Teknolojik Gelişime Uyum Sağlama Sürecinin Evrimsel Oyun Teorisi ile Modellenmesi

Abstract

Bu çalışmanın amacı, küçük ve orta ölçekli işletmelerin (KOBİ) küreselleşme çağının önemli belirleyicilerinden olan teknolojik gelişmeleri benimsemelerinin avantajlarını ve teknolojik gelişmelerin benimsenme süreçlerinin önündeki temel engel ve zorlukları incelemektir. Günümüzde dünya daha az yoksulluk, daha fazla istihdam ve sürdürülebilir üretimi içeren yeni ekonomik modeller geliştirmek konusunda çalışmaktadır. Bu hedeflere ulaşmada KOBİ’lerin önemi büyüktür. Ne var ki KOBİ’ler ülkelerin ekonomik büyüme hızlarının artmasında hayati bir bileşen olmalarına rağmen, teknolojik gelişimden yeterince faydalanamadıkları durumda tam potansiyellerine ulaşmakta sorun yaşamaktadır. Bu durum, ülkelerin de potansiyel büyüme seviyelerine ulaşmalarının önündeki engellerden biri olarak karşımıza çıkmaktadır. Dolayısıyla KOBİ’lerin teknolojik değişim ve gelişime ayak uydurmasının önündeki engeller tespit edilmeli ve giderilmelidir. Çalışmanın ilk bölümünde teknolojik gelişimin önemi ve tarihi tartışılacak, ikinci bölümde teknolojik gelişimin KOBİ’lere etkileri üzerine bir literatür taraması sunulacak ve son bölümde evrimsel oyun teorisi araçları kullanılarak yeni teknolojinin benimsenme süreci modellenecektir. Evrimsel oyun teorisi, rasyonel karar vericilerin varlığını sorgulaması, insanların özel tarihleri, duygusallığı, inatçılığı, altruizmi, konformizmi ve diğer duyguları modellemeye dahil edebilmesi ve replikatör dinamikleri ile klasik oyun teorisinden farklılaşarak gerçeğe uygun modellerin oluşturulmasını sağlamaktadır.
