Abstract

İşletmeler teknoloji ve yenilik temelli küresel rekabet ortamında, işletme stratejilerinde yapısal dönüşümlere gitmektedirler. Bu dönüşüm içerisinde üretim ve pazarlama yeteneklerinin önemi daha da artmakta ve işletme stratejilerinde hayati bir rol almaktadır. Bu süreçte temel amacı, müşteri memnuniyeti sağlayarak işletme performanslarını artırmak olan işletmelerin üretim performansları ile birlikte pazarlama performanslarının da artırılması önem kazanmaktadır. Bu çalışmada işletme performansının artırılmasında önemli bir rolü olan üretim ve pazarlama yeteneklerinin işletme performansı üzerindeki etkisi, üretim ve pazarlama performansı aracılığı ile test edilmiştir.

Bu bağlamda bu çalışmanın temel amacı üretim ve pazarlama performansının işletme performansı üzerindeki etkisini tespit etmektir. Uygulama Konya Aykent Ayakkabı Sanayi Bölgesi’nde faaliyet gösteren işletmeler üzerinde gerçekleştirilmiştir. Yapılan analizler sonucunda hem üretim performansının hem de pazarlama performansının genel işletme performansı üzerinde pozitif etkisi olduğu tespit edilmiştir.
