Elektronik Ticaret Denkleminde Yer Alan Sosyal Ticaretin Marka Değeri Oluşturmadaki Başarısı

Öz

Sosyal medya platformları insanların iletişim kurmasını ve alışveriş yapmasını kolaylaştırmıştır. Kullanıcıların sosyal medya platformları üzerinden alışveriş yapmaları anlamına gelen sosyal ticaret (s-ticaret) hacmi gün geçtikçe artmıştır. Bu da marka değeri oluşturmada s-ticaretin ağırlığının artmasını sağlamıştır. Bu çalışmanın amacı, s-ticaret alanında alanyazın incelemesi yapılarak s-ticaretin markaların gelişimine olan katkısına bakmaktır. Bu amaç doğrultusunda, Dicle Üniversitesi, Veri Tabanı Erişim ve İstatistik Sistemi (Vetis) ile Scopus, Science Direct, Web of Science gibi sitelerde yer alan çalışmalar incelenmiştir. Özellikle son yıllardaki çalışmalar baz alınarak s-ticaret ve marka oluşturma arasındaki ilişki araştırılmıştır. Alanyazı incelemesinde, s-ticaretin gelişmesiyle beraber marka bilinirliğinin artığı görülmüştür. Çalışmanın sonucunda, marka yaratma ve marka değeri oluşmasında s-ticaretin önemli katkılarının olabileceği düşünülmüştür. Ayrıca s-ticaretin firmaların marka değeri oluşturmadaki başarısını hızlandırdığı tahmin edilmiştir.
