Abstract

Amaç- Mevcut çalışmanın amacı tüketicilerin yeni nesil akıllı telefon seçimlerinde etkili olan fayda ve haz temelli kriterlerin ağırlıklandırılması ve seçim noktasında alternatiflerin sıralanmasıdır. Literatür taraması ve akademisyen görüşlerine başvurularak toplamda 4 ana kriter ve 14 alt kriter belirlenmiş ve Türkiye Pazar payı en yüksek olan 4 marka çalışmada değerlendirilmiştir.

Yöntem- Analiz için bütünleşik AHP-VIKOR yöntemi uygulanmıştır. AHP anketiyle toplanan veriler neticesinde bütün ana ve alt kriterlere ait öncelikler belirlenmiştir. Ardından bu öncelikler kullanılarak VIKOR yöntemi ile markalar sıralanmış ve öne çıkan kriterler belirlenmiştir.

Bulgular- Ana kriterlerden Ürün Özellikleri tüketiciler için en önemli kriter olmaktadır. Alt kriterler incelendiğinde ise Uygunluk, Markanın Etkisi, Kullanım Faydası, Keyif Alma ve Yazılım ve Donanım Özellikleri alt kriterleri öncelikli olmaktadır.

Sonuç- Mevcut çalışma beslendiği modeller çerçevesinde akıllı telefon tercihinde ürün özellikleri dışında diğer kriterleri de kapsamında tutarak bu alanda özgün bir bakış açısı sunmaktadır.
