Abstract

Bu çalışmanın amacı, örgütlerde çalışanların sürdürülebilir rekabet avantajını desteklemede stratejik zekanın etkisini belirlemektir. Stratejik zeka, örgütün gelecek vizyonu, stratejik odak, yaratıcılık ve stratejik uygulama inşa etmek için zekaya, bilgiye ve deneyime sahip liderleri bulma yeteneği olarak açıklanmıştır. Örgütsel mükemmellik, örgütün ilgili bilgileri doğru bir şekilde toplayarak ve analiz ederek tüketiciye ve pazara odaklanma yeteneği olarak açıklanmıştır. Bu çalışma ayrıca stratejik zekanın daha başarılı örgütsel kararlar almak için en önemli gerekliliklerden biri olduğunu göstermektedir. Stratejik zeka ile karar alma süreci arasında bir ilişkinin varlığı bilinmekte ve örgütlerde yöneticilerin uygun kararları hızlı ve etkili bir şekilde almalarına yardımcı olduğu bilimsel araştırmalarla tespit edilmiştir. Bu çalışmada, stratejik zekayı geliştirmeye ve çalışanların rekabet avantajı elde etmelerine farklı boyutları açıklığa kavuşturmaya odaklanan gelecek çalışma programları geliştirilmesini önermektedir.
