Abstract

Amaç: Bu çalışmada, veri tabanı pazarlaması kullanımının endüstriyel pazarlarda faaliyet gösteren uluslararası B2B işletmelerinin satış büyümesine etkisi incelenmektedir. B2C işletmelerinde veri tabanı pazarlaması (DBM) araçları sıklıkla kullanılıyor olsa da B2B işletmeleri açısından aynı durumu söylemek çok mümkün görünmemektedir. Özellikle Türk işletmelerine yapılan bu çalışma, Türkiye’deki B2B işletmelerinin veri tabanı pazarlaması kullanımına dair veri elde edilirken, DBM kullanan firmalarda DBM ve satış büyümesi ilişkisine odaklanmaktadır.
Yöntem: Araştırmada veri tabanı pazarlaması kullanımının satış büyümesine etkisini analiz edebilmek amacıyla anket yöntemi ile veri toplanmış, internet üzerinden yayılan anket aracılığı ile 53 firmanın soruları doğrudan yanıtlaması sağlanmıştır. DBM ve satış büyümesi ilişkisini analiz edebilmek amacıyla regresyon testleri uygulanmıştır.
Bulgular: Analiz sonuçlarına göre 53 firmanın 7 tanesi uluslararası pazarlarda faaliyet göstermemektedir. 46 adet B2B işletmesinin ise 14 adedi DBM kullanmamaktadır. Regresyon analizi sonuçlarına göre DBM’in satış büyümesine etkisi az da olsa tespit edilmiştir.
Özgünlük: Çalışma, bu alanda Türkiye’deki uluslararası pazarlarda faaliyet gösteren B2B işletmelerine uygulanması açısından özgünlük taşımaktadır.
