Özet

Verimlilik faktörünü büyütmeye çalışırken, organizasyon yöneticileri tarafından çeşitli stratejiler ve yöntemler uygulanmaktadır. Modern çağımızda, Bilgi Teknolojileri bu amacı gerçekleştirmek için en ileri araç olarak ortaya çıkmıştır. Bu yazı, bir vaka çalışması olarak Gambiya firmalarına atıfta bulunarak inovasyon yeteneklerinin geliştirilmesi yoluyla organizasyonel üretkenliği artırmak için Bilgi Teknolojisini operasyonda uygulama ihtiyacını incelemektedir. Araştırma, Gambiya şirketlerinin Bilgi Teknolojisi yatırımı, firma inovasyon yeteneği ve organizasyonel üretkenliği arasındaki ilişkiyi araştırıyor. Ayrıca, Bilgi Teknolojilerinin, şirketlerin operasyonları üzerinde bir etkisi olup olmadığını araştırmaktadır. Bu nedenle araştırma, teknolojik yenilikçiliğe dayalı ilişkiyi belirlemek ve verimlilik düzeyini ölçmek için nicel araştırma yöntemini kullanır. Bulgulara göre, Gambiya'nın Bilgi Teknolojisi yatırımı, teknolojik yenilikçiliği ve verimliliği arasında pozitif bir ilişki var.
