Abstract

The purpose of this study is to empirically investigate the effects of artificial intelligence and blockchain technologies on supply chain resilience. To achieve this objective, data were collected from 237 mid- and senior-level managers through a survey conducted with firms operating in various sectors in Kocaeli and Istanbul. The research hypotheses were tested using structural equation modeling. The findings indicate a positive relationship between artificial intelligence and supply chain resilience. However, no significant relationship was found between blockchain technology and supply chain resilience.

Özet

Bu çalışmanın amacı, yapay zeka ve blokzincir teknolojilerinin tedarik zinciri dayanıklılığı üzerindeki etkilerini ampirik olarak araştırmaktır. Bu amaç doğrultusunda, Kocaeli ve İstanbul’da çeşitli sektörlerde faaliyet gösteren firmaların orta ve üst düzey yöneticileriyle iletişime geçilerek, anket tekniğiyle 237 yöneticiden veri elde edilmiştir. Araştırma hipotezleri yapısal eşitlik modeli ile test edilmiştir. Bulgular, yapay zeka ile tedarik zinciri dayanıklılığı arasında pozitif bir ilişki olduğunu göstermektedir. Ancak, blokzincir teknolojisi ile tedarik zinciri dayanıklılığı arasında anlamlı bir ilişki bulunamamıştır.
