Abstract

Yenilikçiliğin ülkelerin ve şirketlerin rekabetçiliklerinde önemli rol oynaması son zamanlarda birçok araştırmanın yapılmasına büyük katkı sağlamıştır. Çalışmada temel olarak yenilikçilik ve kültür arasındaki ilişki açıklanmaktadır. Çalışma özellikle, Türkiye'nin kültürel özellikleri ile yenilikçilik arasındaki ilişkiyi ortaya koymaya çalışmaktadır. Çalışma daha çok konu ile ilgili farklı literatürlerin birleştirilmesi yoluyla derleme, analiz ve değerlendirme yoluyla oluşturulmuştur.

Çalışma her ne kadar kültürel özellikler bakımından Türkiye'nin potansiyelinin düşük olduğunu gösterse de, Türkiye'de kendi dinamik ve şartları çerçevesinde yenilikçilik faaliyetlerine katılmakta ve geliştirmeye çalışmaktadır. Önemli olanda zaten sahip olduğumuz şartlar ve dinamikler içerisinde yenilikçiliğe giden yolların keşfedilmesi ve desteklenmesine çalışılmasıdır. Diğer taraftan da yeniliğe teşvik eden temel altyapı ve unsurların da oluşturulması ve geliştirilmesi gereklidir. Bu sayede Türkiye'de yenilikçilikten üzerine düşen payı alabilecektir.

Anahtar Kelimeler: Kültür, Kültürel Değerler, Yenilikçilik, Türkiye.

Abstract

Some countries and companies performing better than others in term of innovation performance has led the researcher to look for the factors behind this phenomenon. This study explains the link between cultural characteristics and innovation. The study particularly investigates the link between Turkish cultural characteristics and innovation. The study is done through combining the various related literature, analyzing and evaluating.

Although the study shows that Turkey has a low potential in term of the cultural characteristics, Turkey takes part in innovation activities and tries to develop them within its capacity and conditions. What is important is to discover the ways that leads to innovation and to support them. On the other hand, the infrastructure and other elements that promote and support innovation need to be developed. By doing so, Turkey will obtain its innovation share that it deserves.
