Abstract

For the research, data were collected from technology-oriented production companies operating in Istanbul. The reason for choosing these companies is that global capabilities become even more important in the world of technology in terms of innovation and production performance. In this context, it is aimed to examine the effects of both global capabilities and learning orientation in the constantly changing technology world. A sample of 1044 participants was taken to set up and test the model and analyzes were performed using SmartPLS 3.3.5. In the research, it can be explained by supporting the hypotheses that both innovation and production performances are positively affected if technology-oriented production companies have global capabilities and can realize the learning orientation.

TEKNOLOJİ ODAKLI ÜRETİM YAPAN ŞİRKETLERDE GLOBAL YETENEKLERİN VE ÖĞRENME ODAKLILIĞIN İNOVASYON VE ÜRETİM PERFORMANSINA ETKİLERİNİN İNCELENMESİ

Abstract

Çalışma için istanbulda faaliyet gösteren teknoloji odaklı üretim yapan şirketlerden veriler toplanmıştır. Bu şirketlerin seçilmesinin nedeni, inovasyon ve üretim performansı açısından teknoloji dünyasında global yeteneklerin daha da önemli hale gelmesidir. Bu kapsamda araştırma da sürekli değişim halinde olan teknoloji dünyasında hem global yeteneklerin hem de öğrenme yöneliminin etkilerinin incelenmesi amaçlanmıştır. Modelin kurulması ve test edilmesi için 1044 katılımcıdan oluşan bir örneklem alınmış ve SmartPLS 3.3.5 kullanılarak analizler gerçekleştirilmiştir. Araştırmada, teknoloji odaklı üretim yapan şirketlerin global yeteneklere sahip olmaları ve öğrenme yönelimini gerçekleştirebilmeleri durumunda hem inovasyon hem de üretim performanslarının olumlu yönde etkilendiği hipotezlerin desteklenmesiyle açıklanabilmektedir.
