YENİLİKÇİ KÜLTÜRÜN ÖRGÜTSEL YARATICILIK ÖĞRENME ÇABALARI ÜZERİNDEKİ ETKİSİ

Yeniliğe ihtiyaç duyan çevre koşullarında sürekli değişen talebin, firmaların faaliyet amaçlarının temel taşı olan devamlılık ve yüksek marka değeri ile buluşabilmesi için, daha esnek, daha uyumlu, girişim yetenekleri daha gelişmiş ve daha yenilikçi firmalar oluşturulması gerekliliği doğmuştur. Firmaların pazarda sürekli değişen talebe yanıt verebilmesi, yenilik ile ilgili süreçlere olan açıklığı ile doğru orantılıdır. Teknoloji, yeniliğin tabanını oluşturmakta ve yenilik ile yenilikçi kültür ortamının oluşmasına zemin sağlamaktadır. Firmaların teknolojinin yarattığı karmaşıklığa rağmen yenilikçi bakış açılarını örgüt kültürleri ile yoğurarak yenilikçi kültürü benimsemeleri, küreselleşen pazarlarda rekabetçi avantaj sağlamalarının en önemli koşulu olarak ortaya çıkmaktadır. Bununla birlikte örgüt içinde sağlanan yenilikçi kültür tek başına yeterli olmamakta, çalışanların yaratıcılıkları da yenilikçilikle desteklendiğinde bu avantajı maksimize etmek kolaylaşmaktadır. Dolayısıyla örgüt içinde yaratıcılığın öğrenilmesi ve devam ettirilmesi rakiplere karşı başka bir rekabet avantajı olarak, firmalar tarafından değerlendirilmektedir. Buradan yola çıkarak araştırmada yenilikçi kültürün örgütsel yaratıcılık öğrenme çabaları üzerine etkisi incelenmiş ve bu ilişkideki teknolojik karmaşıklığın etkisi irdelenerek literatüre bu alanda ışık tutulmaya çalışılmıştır.
