EVALUATION OF ENTERPRISES' USE OF WEBSITES: THE CASE OF TURKEY

Abstract

Websites are the reflections of the enterprises as being a key success factor in terms of competition and exchanging information. This research aims to evaluate the website usage of 11 enterprises based on 7 criteria collected from the Turkish Statistical Institute (TUIK). For this reason, WASPAS and TOPSIS, which are among the Multi-Criteria Decision Making Methods, were used to evaluate the performance of the enterprises. As a result of the analysis, the most effective enterprise for the last 4 years is the "accommodation and food service activities", while the "professional, scientific and support activities" enterprise is the last in 2020 ranking. These analysis results help to provide a more comprehensive understanding of website use in Turkey. The findings and conclusion address notable implications for academics and practitioners.
