Abstract

The main purpose of this study is to examine whether collaboration networks have a positive effect on innovation performance of firms, and to understand which collaboration type has the more relative effect on innovation. A survey was developed to measure collaborative network frequency and innovation performance of firms in technoparks which are in Istanbul. For achieving the objectives of the research, quantitative methods such as the one-way analysis of variance and regression analysis were used. As a result, it has been identified that collaboration networks within technopark have a positive and significant effect on innovation performance of the firms. Recommendations were presented for actors operating within technoparks and for researchers to guide their future researches.

Özet

Bu çalışmanın temel amacı, işbirliği ağlarının firmaların yenilik performansı üzerinde olumlu bir etkisinin olup olmadığını incelemek ve hangi işbirliği türünün yenilik üzerinde göreceli olarak daha fazla etkiye sahip olduğunu anlamaktır. İstanbul'da bulunan teknoparklardaki firmaların işbirlikçi ağ sıklığını ve yenilik performansını ölçmek için bir anket geliştirilmiştir. Araştırmanın amaçlarına ulaşmak için tek yönlü varyans analizi ve regresyon analizi gibi nicel yöntemler kullanılmıştır. Sonuç olarak, teknopark bünyesinde yer alan işbirliği ağlarının firmaların inovasyon performansı üzerinde pozitif ve anlamlı bir etkiye sahip olduğu tespit edilmiştir. Teknopark bünyesinde faaliyet gösteren aktörlere ve araştırmacılara gelecek araştırmalarına yön verecek önerilerde bulunulmuştur.
