IN BUSINESSES DETERMINING THE USE OF BLOCKCHAIN TECHNOLOGY KÜTAHYA PROVINCIAL EXAMPLE

Öz

In the conditions of increasing competition, businesses need technology to increase their profits and ensure their sustainability. Blockchain technology is one of these technological innovations. Blockchain technology provides benefits in many business activities such as payment systems, supply chain management, transparency, speed, cost and data security. The aim of this study is to determine the concepts that private sector enterprises emphasize in the technological, organizational and environmental context in the process of adaptation to blockchain technology in the province of Kütahya. In this direction, qualitative research methods were used in this study. Interview technique is used as the data collection technique and a case study was conducted. This study covers 97 enterprises operating in Kütahya Organized Industrial Zone and all technology companies in Kütahya, and interviews were conducted with 48 companies in total. In line with the findings obtained from the participants; 35 sub-dimensions in the technological context, 30 sub-dimensions in the organizational context and 25 sub-dimensions in the environmental context have been reached. It will contribute to the literature in a theoretical sense by revealing the attitudes and thoughts of businesses on blockchain technology.
