Abstract

Bu çalışmanın amacı, Türkiye’de farklı endüstrilerde faaliyet gösteren işletmelerin Covid-19 salgınından nasıl etkilendiklerini, oluşan yeni zorlu koşullara verdikleri yanıtları ve önümüzdeki süreç için öngörülerini analiz etmektir. Bunun için iki farklı elektronik kaynaktan elde edilen ve beş aylık bir süreyi kapsayan toplam 84 haber metni nicel olarak incelenmiştir. Elde edilen bulgulara göstermektedir ki, salgının dayattığı ortak deneyimler bulunsa da krizin etkileri endüstri düzeyinde farklı biçimlerde yaşanmaktadır. Veriler, işletmelerin kriz koşullarına verdikleri tepkilerde, aldıkları önlemlerde ve gelecek beklentilerinde önemli bir çeşitliliğe işaret etmektedir. Salgının işletmelere getirdiği zorluklar kendini hemen hemen tüm iş yapış biçimlerinde ve süreçlerinde gösterirken, lojistik, satış-pazarlama, sağlık ve eğitim gibi endüstrilerde yenilikçi uygulamalar ve dijitalleşme yönünde radikal değişimler yaşanmaktadır. Bu bulgular, hem araştırmacılara hem uygulayıcılara örgütsel sürdürülebilirlik temelinde mevcut bakış açılarını ve modellerini gözden geçirme konusunda önemli bir fırsat sunmaktadır.
