İŞLETMELERDE ÖRGÜTSEL KARAKTERİSTİKLERİN YENİLİK KAPASİTESİ ÜZERİNE ORTAKLAŞA ETKİSİNİN BELİRLENMESİ

Abstract

İşletmelerin yenilikçi sonuçlarının arkasında yatan örgütsel karakteristiklerin ve bunların birbirleri ile olan ilişkilerinin incelenmesi ve bu unsurların önem ve bağımlılık derecelerinin ortaya konulması, yenilikçi karakteristiklerle yenilikçi sonuçlar üzerine yapılan tartışmalara katkı sağlayarak, işletmelere stratejik yönelimlerinde ışık tutmaktadır. Bu kapsamda çalışmanın amacı, literatürden yararlanılarak oluşturulan model çerçevesinde belirlenen değişkenlerin Türkiye’de faaliyet gösteren büyük ölçekli imalat sanayi işletmelerini kapsayan çoklu örnek olay çalışması ile incelenmesi ve elde edilen bulguların sektörler arası karşılaştırma yoluyla analiz edilmesi suretiyle değişkenler arası ilişkilerin ortaya konulmasıdır. Araştırmanın ulaştığı sonuçlar, örgütsel karakteristiklerden pazar odaklılık, öğrenme odaklılık, bilgi yönetimi odaklılık ile yenilikçiliğin, yenilik ve yenilik kapasitesi üzerinde olumlu etkiye sahip olduğunu ortaya koymuştur. Bunun yanı sıra anılan karakteristiklerin birbirlerine eklemlenmesinin sinerjik etkide bulunduğu belirlenmiştir
