Az Başarılı Yenilikçi Ülkelerde Öğrenme Süreçlerinin Radikal İnovasyon Üzerine Etkisi: Türkiye Makedonya Slovenya ve Sırbistan

Son yıllarda hızla artan rekabet, yerel ve uluslararası piyasalarda ürün ve süreçlerde değer artışı sağlayabilmek için firmaları yeni fikirler bulmaya zorlamaktadır. Girişimler için işletmelerin başarısı ve sürekliliğinin anahtarı olan inovasyon piyasalarda şirketlere rekabet avantajlar sağlar. En önemli inovasyon türlerinden biri olan radikal inovasyon sürecinde öğrenme süreçleri çok önemlidir. Bu çalışmada radikal inovasyon ve öğrenme süreçleri yaparak öğrenme, çalışarak öğrenme ve araştırarak öğrenme arasındaki ilişki göreceli olarak az başarılı yenilikçi ülkelerden olan Türkiye, Makedonya, Sırbistan ve Slovenya için probit model kullanılarak firma düzeyinde BEEPS analiz edildi. Makedonya için öğrenme süreçlerinin radikal inovasyon üzerinde etkisi bulunmazken, Sırbistan ve Slovenya için araştırarak öğrenme sürecinin etkili olduğu görülmektedir. Türk işletmelerin radikal inovasyon yapmalarında yöneticilerin deneyimi çalışarak öğrenme ve şirketin ihracat performansının yaparak öğrenme etkili olduğu gözlemlenmiştir.

The Impact of Learning Processes on Radical Innovation in Less Successful Innovator Countries: Turkey, Macedonia, Slovenia, and Serbia

Competition that has been accelerating rapidly in domestic and international markets in last decades compels firms to apply new ideas to their activities in order to increase value on their products and processes. Innovation which is a key driver of a success and survival of enterprises provides them competitive adventure in the markets. Learning processes on radical innovation, which is one of the most valuable innovation types is crucial. In this paper we examined the relationship between radical innovation and type of learning processes learning by doing, learning by training, and learning by searching with using probit model and firm level data BEEPS in relatively less successful innovator countries, namely Turkey, Macedonia, Slovenia, and Serbia. According to our results, the impact of learning process on making radical innovation varies in the less successful innovator countries. Any of the learning processes do not affect radical innovation in Macedonia while Serbia and Slovenia make radical innovation only with learning by searching. Turkish enterprises are making radical innovation with their top manager’s experience learning by training and their success in export performance learning by doing .
