Öz

Günümüz dünyasında firmalar rakiplerinden daha fazla müşteriye hizmet vermek ve rakiplerinden daha fazla pazar payı elde edebilmek amacıyla sürekli rekabet hali içerisindedirler. Firmaların rekabet sürecinde kalıcı avantajlar elde edebilmesi rakiplerine nazaran daha fazla yeteneğe sahip olmasını gerektirmektedir. Önemli olan firmaların sahip oldukları yeteneklerini pazarın dinamizmine göre yeniden yapılandırabilmesi ve pazarın koşullarına duyarlı hale getirebilmesidir. Bu süreçte firmaların ve yöneticilerin yeteneklerinin farkına varabilmeleri ve sürdürülebilir rekabet avantajı elde edebilmenin kaynağına ulaşabilmeleri gereklidir. Çalışmada; öncelikli olarak, organizasyonların sahip oldukları yeteneklerin dinamik mi yoksa operasyonel mi olarak değerlendirilmesi gerektiğinin ayrımı literatür desteğiyle ortaya konulmuştur. Bu bağlamda; dinamik yetenekler görüşünün firmaların pazar ve müşteri performanslarına nasıl katkıda bulunduklarını belirleyerek, hizmet sektöründe ağırlıklı rolü olan lojistik firmaları üzerinde yapılan nicel bir araştırma ile ortaya koymaktır. Araştırmanın bağımsız değişkenini dinamik yetenekler, bağımlı değişkenini müşteri ve pazar performansı oluşturmaktadır. Araştırma modelinde, değişkenler arasında bağlantı kurularak lojistik sektörü üzerindeki etkisi nicel bir çalışma ile ortaya konulmaya çalışılmıştır. Çalışmada, anket yöntemi kullanılmıştır. Tesadüfi örnekleme yöntemi ile Marmara bölgesinde İstanbul ilinde yer alan ve lojistik sektöründe yönetici olarak çalışan 122 yöneticiye anket uygulanarak veriler elde edilmiştir. Veriler, SPSS istatistik paket programı kullanılarak analiz edilmiştir. Yapılan analizler sonucunda, dinamik yeteneklerin müşteri ve pazar performansı üzerinde anlamlı bir etkisinin olduğunu göstermektedir.
