It is becoming difficult for enterprises to compete by
producing classical products and services in the markets that turn into a
dynamic structure with the rapid increase of technological developments. For
this reason, R&D and innovation activities in recent years have an
important issue for the development of enterprises. In this study, it was aimed
to determine the factors affecting innovation activities in SMEs and to
determine the importance level of the factors using Fuzzy Dematel Based
Analytical Network Process (BDANP) method. As a result of the analysis, it was
determined that the variables of cooperation with the financial institutions
and the cooperation with the universities are the most important criteria and
the variables of the age and organizational structure of the enterprises have
the least importance.

KOBİ’LERDE İNOVASYON PERFORMANSINI ETKİLEYEN FAKTÖRLERİN BULANIK DEMATEL TABANLI ANALİTİK AĞ SÜRECİ (BDANP) YÖNTEMİYLE ANALİZİ VE BİR UYGULAMA

Teknolojik
gelişmelerin hızla artmasıyla birlikte dinamik bir yapıya dönüşen pazarlarda
klasik ürün ve hizmet üreterek rekabet edebilmek işletmeler için zor bir hal
almaktadır. Bu nedenle son yıllarda Ar-Ge ve inovasyon faaliyetleri
işletmelerin gelişmesinde önemli bir yer tutmaktadır. Bu çalışmada KOBİ’lerde
inovasyon faaliyetlerini etkileyen faktörlerin belirlenmesi ve Bulanık Dematel
Tabanlı Analitik Ağ Süreci (BDANP) yöntemi kullanılarak faktörlerin önem
derecesinin belirlenmesi amaçlanmıştır. Analiz sonucunda, finans kurumları ile
işbirliği ve üniversiteler ile işbirliği değişkenlerinin en önemli kriterler
olduğu, işletme yaşı ve örgütsel yapı değişkenlerinin de en az öneme sahip
olduğu tespit edilmiştir.
