Abstract

Günümüz rekabet ortamında, rakiplerinden daha hızlı şekilde yeni teknolojileri edinebilmek, firmalar için çok kritik bir hal almıştır. Gelişmekte olan ülkelerdeki firmalar incelendiğinde, yurt içerisinde bulunan üniversiteler ile yapılan iş birlikleri neticesinde gerçekleştirilen teknoloji transferi (TT)’nin temel teknoloji edinim yöntemlerinden olduğu görülmektedir. Yazım alanı incelendiğinde, TT’yi gerçekleştirebilmek için firmaların kurumsal olarak, bilgi ve teknolojiyi edinme, asimile etme, dönüştürme ve ondan faydalanma yeteneğine sahip olmalarının gerekli olduğu görülmektedir. Söz konusu bu yetenek “Özümseme Kapasitesi (ÖK)” olarak adlandırılmaktadır. Bu durumda TT hedefleyen firmaların ÖK yeteneklerini geliştirmeleri, firmaların TT performanslarını yükseltebilmeleri için, ÖK’yi artıran faaliyetleri tespit ederek bunları arttırmaya dönük çalışmaları yapmaları gerekmektedir. Bu değişkenlerin tespiti ve ÖK üzerindeki muhtemel etkilerinin ortaya konulması, bu çalışmanın sorunsalı olarak tespit edilmiştir. Ankara ilinde yer alan 157 teknopark firmasına yukarıdaki sorunsal kapsamında ölçek uygulaması yapılmıştır. Yapılan regresyon analizleri neticesinde, teknopark hizmetleri ile teknopark içi iş birliklerinin firmaların ÖK’ni anlamlı bir şekilde etkilediği tespit edilmiştir.
