Abstract

Information systems (IS) have long been considered as an asset of firms. In recent years, this perception has been changed in a way that IS form an ecosystem that creates value for companies. While IS and its applications have become a critical component for the firms, the relative use of IS applications on firm specific contingencies - ownership pattern, firm size, industry sector, and firm age - remained hidden in the extant literature. Therefore, we examine how the relative use of IS applications vary with these firm-specific contingencies based on a survey of 204 companies operating in a wide variety of sectors in Turkey. Using t-test and ANOVA, we find that the implementation of IS applications varies most with respect to ownership type and firm size and to a modest extent with industry and firm age.

Özet

İşletmeler bilişim sistemlerini (BS) uzunca bir süre sabit kaynaklar olarak değerlendirmiştir. Bu yaklaşım yakın zamanda değişerek BS uygulamalarının değer yaratan bir ekosistem oluşturduğu sonucuna varılmıştır. Genellikle araştırmalar işletmelerdeki BS uygulamalarının göreli kullanımları ile performans değerlendirmesi arasındaki ilişki üzerine yapılmaktadır. Firmaya özgü durumların - sahiplik örüntüsü, firma büyüklüğü, sektör, firma yaşı - ise literatürde değişmeyen unsurlar olarak görüldüğünden yeteri kadar üzerinde durulmadığı saptanmıştır. Bu yüzden, firmaya özgü bu olası durumlar temel unsurlar olarak kabul edilerek, Türkiye’de çeşitli sektörlerde faaliyet gösteren 204 firma ile saha araştırması yapılmıştır. Toplanan veriler t-testi ve ANOVA metodları ile analiz edilerek BS uygulamalarının göreli kullanımı ile firmaya özgü durumlar arasındaki etkileşim incelenmiştir. Araştırmamızın sonucunda, farklı BS uygulamalarının göreli kullanımının firmaya özgü olası durumlarda değişim gösterdiği tespit edilmiştir. Aynı zamanda çalışmamız, BS uygulamalarının göreli kullanımı sonucunda oluşan firmaya özgü durumlardaki değişimin etkileri hakkında çıkarımlar yapmamıza katkı sağlamaktadır.
