Abstract

Bilişim teknolojilerinde yaşanan gelişmeler sonucunda internet kullanımının yaygınlaşması, işletmelerin web sayfaları aracılığıyla paydaşlarına daha fazla bilgi sunabilmesine olanak tanımaktadır. Bu çalışmanın amacı, İMKB’de işlem gören işletmelerin internet üze‐ rinden yapmış oldukları bilgilendirmeleri incele‐ mektir. Elde edilen bilgiler yardımıyla, işletmelerin internet üzerinden yaptıkları bilgi‐ lendirmeleri etkileyen faktörlerin bulunması ve yapılan bilgilendirmelerin işletmelerin kazançlarıyla olan ilişkisinin ortaya koyulması amaçlanmıştır. Yapılan analiz sonucunda, firmaların internet üzerinden yaptıkları bilgilen‐ dirme düzeyinin yüksek olduğu ve sektörlerin bilgilendirme düzeyleri arasında anlamlı bir farklılık bulunmadığı tespit edilmiştir. Ayrıca; varlık karlılık oranı, kaldıraç oranı ve firma büyüklüğünün bilgilendirme üzerinde bir etkisi‐ nin olmadığı sonucuna ulaşılmıştır.
