Bu çalışmanın amacı teknopark ve teknoloji transfer ofislerinin KOBİ’lerin sürdürülebilirliğindeki rolünü analiz etmek ve KOBİ’lerin bu süreci verimli bir şekilde ilerletebilmeleri için uygun bir yol haritası ortaya koymaktır. Araştırmada veri toplama yöntemlerinden nitel yöntem tercih edilmiş bire bir görüşme tekniği uygulanmıştır. Bu çalışmada Düzce Teknopark bünyesindeki KOBİ’ler ve yönetim ofisinde çalışan uzman personel ile görüşmeler gerçekleştirilmiştir. Bu doğrultuda KOBİ’lerin sürdürülebilirliğine yönelik destekler ve teknopark-teknoloji transfer ofisi yapılanmasının KOBİ’lerin sürdürülebilirliğindeki rolü incelenmektedir. Verilerin toplanması aşamasında bire bir görüşme tekniği kullanılmıştır. Araştırmanın örneklemini Düzce Teknopark ve Düzce Teknoloji transfer ofisinin hizmet sağladığı KOBİ’ler ve yönetim ofisi uzmanları oluşturmaktadır. Bu çalışma sonucunda teknopark ve teknoloji transfer ofisinin destek sağladığı firmaların finansal sürdürülebilirliğine ve personel istihdamı sürdürülebilirliğinde sorunlar yaşadıkları görülmektedir. Bunun yanında, Teknopark ve Teknoloji Transfer Ofisi’nin sağlamış olduğu desteklerin KOBİ’lere ulaşması noktasında yaygınlaştırma faaliyetlerini arttırmaları gerektiği ortaya çıkmaktadır. Ayrıca ulusal ve uluslararası fon mekanizmalarına erişim noktasında firmaların problemler yaşadığı ortaya çıkmıştır. KOBİ’lerin sürdürülebilirlik düzeyini arttırmak için izledikleri politikalar incelenmiş ve bu süreçten daha fazla verim alabilmeleri adına yol haritaları ortaya konulmuştur.

THE ROLE OF TECHNOPARK AND TECHNOLOGY TRANSFER OFFICES IN SUSTAINABILITY OF SMEs

Öz

The aim of this study is to analyse the role of technoparks and technology transfer offices in the sustainability of SMEs and to put forward an effective road map for SMEs to advance this process efficiently. Qualitative method was preferred among the data collection methods in the research and one-to-one interview technique was applied. In this study, interviews were conducted with SMEs within Düzce Technopark and expert staff working in the management office. In this direction, supports for the sustainability of SMEs and the role of technopark-technology transfer office structuring in the sustainability of SMEs are examined. One-to-one interview technique was used in the data collection phase. The sample of the research consists of SMEs and management office experts who receive service from Düzce Technopark and Düzce Technology Transfer Office. As a result of this study, it is seen that the companies supported by Technopark and Technology Transfer Office have problems in financial sustainability and personnel employment sustainability. In addition, it is revealed that the support provided by Technopark and Technology Transfer Office should increase dissemination activities at the point of reaching SMEs. In addition, it has been revealed that companies have problems in accessing national and international funding mechanisms. The policies followed by SMEs to increase the level of sustainability have been analysed and road maps have been put forward in order to get more efficiency from this process.
