Abstract

Purpose: In this study, it is aimed to rank the factors affecting the innovation productivity of enterprises.
Methodology: The Pythagorean Fuzzy Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP) method, which gives successful results in modelling uncertainty and uses Pythagorean fuzzy sets, is used to rank the factors affecting innovation productivity according to their importance.
Findings: In the application part of study firstly, the factors affecting the innovation productivity were determined and as a result of expert evaluations, the steps of the method were applied and the factors were ranked according to their importance. Finally, the most important factors were determined by performing a sensitivity analysis. When the results obtained from the study are examined, it has been determined that the factor of preparing the technology roadmap affects the innovation productivity the most, while the sector and market structure affect the innovation productivity the least among the determined factors.
Originality: It is the first study in the literature in which the factors affecting innovation productivity are determined and ranked according to their importance.

İnovasyon Üretkenliğine Etki Eden Faktörlerin Pisagor Bulanık AHP Yöntemi İle Değerlendirilmesi

Abstract

Amaç: Bu çalışmada, işletmelerin inovasyon verimliliğini etkileyen faktörlerin sıralanması amaçlanmaktadır.
Yöntem: Belirsizliğin modellenmesinde başarılı sonuçlar veren ve Pisagor bulanık kümelerini kullanan Pisagor Bulanık Analitik Hiyerarşi Süreci (AHP) yöntemi yenilik üretkenliğini etkileyen faktörlerin önem derecelerine göre sıralanmasında kullanılmıştır.
Bulgular: Çalışmanın uygulama kısmında öncelikle inovasyon verimliliğini etkileyen faktörler belirlenmiş ve uzman değerlendirmeleri sonucunda yöntemin adımları uygulanmış ve faktörler önem sırasına göre sıralanmıştır. Son olarak duyarlılık analizi yapılarak en önemli faktörler belirlenmiştir. Çalışmadan elde edilen sonuçlar incelendiğinde, belirlenen faktörler arasında inovasyon verimliliğini en çok teknoloji yol haritası hazırlama faktörünün etkilediği, en az ise sektör ve pazar yapısının inovasyon verimliliğini etkilediği tespit edilmiştir.
Özgünlük: İnovasyon üretkenliğine etki eden faktörlerin belirlendiği ve önem derecesine göre sıralandığı literatürdeki ilk çalışma özelliği göstermektedir.
