Problem Durumu: Teknoloji üretimi yapan işletmelerin, değişen teknolojik gelişmeler
karşısında, yaşamlarına devam edebilmeleri için değişimlere ayak uydurmaları,
değişimlere öncülük etmeleri ve/veya değişimleri kendi bünyelerinde
meydana getirerek sektörlerine sunmaları gerekmektedir. Bu doğrultuda işletmeler
için örgütsel öğrenme ve yenilik yapabilme yetenekleri çok önem kazanmıştır.
Bu yeteneklerin önemi, işletmelerin örgütsel öğrenme ve yenilik kavramlarını,
yoğun rekabet ortamında ve performanslarını artırmak için anahtar faktörler olarak
görmelerine neden olmaktadır. Bu kavramların işletme performansı ile ilişkilendirilerek,
detaylandırılması ve açıklanması, işletmelerin yeteneklerini, daha
etkin ve verimli kullanmaları için yardımcı olacaktır.
Araştırmanın Amacı: Bu araştırma, örgütsel öğrenme kapasitesinin nasıl artırılabileceğini;
buna bağlı olarak işletmelerin yapacakları yenilikleri nasıl etkileyeceğini
ve performanslarında nasıl bir değişim meydana gelebileceğini açıklamayı
hedeflemektedir. Araştırma bunun yanında yenilikleri de detaylandırarak, işletme
performansındaki değişimi de açıklamayı amaçlamaktadır.
Yöntem: Araştırma; Marmara Bölgesi’nde yer alan, yazılım, yonga, ileri teknolojik
aletler ve çözümler üzerine çalışan teknoloji üreten işletmelerin orta ve üst
düzey yöneticilerinin katılımı ile gerçekleştirilmiştir. Katılımcılara sorular yüz
yüze, internet üzerinden ve elden teslim edilen anket formları ile sorulmuş ve cevap
alınmıştır. Toplanan veriler, SPSS 18.0 istatistik paketi ile değerlendirilmiştir.
Bulgular: Örgütsel öğrenme kapasitesinin alt faktörlerinden olan sistem yönelimi,
örgüt iklimi, etkin bilgi kullanımı ve bilgi paylaşımının; düzeltici ve keşifsel
yenilik ile işletmenin finansal performansı üzerinde olumlu; keşifsel ve düzeltici yeniliğin de işletme finansal performansı üzerinde olumlu etkileri olduğu ortaya
koyulmuştur.
Sonuçlar: Teknoloji üreten firmaların, örgütsel öğrenme kapasitelerini artırmaları,
yenilik yapma faaliyetlerinde ve finansal performanslarında artışlara neden olduğu
görülmüştür. Yani, yenilik faaliyetlerini ve finansal performanslarını geliştirmek
isteyen firmaların, örgütsel öğrenme kapasitelerini geliştirmeleri gereklidir. Örgütsel
öğrenme kapasitesinin geliştirilmesi için işletmelerin sistem yönelimi, örgüt
iklimi, etkin bilgi kullanımı ve bilgi paylaşımı faaliyetlerine önem vermeleri
gerekmektedir. İşletmelerin finansal performansları, keşifsel ve düzeltici yeniliklerin
gerçekleştirilmesi ile de geliştirilebilir. Bu faaliyetler için firmaların düzenli
olarak düzeltici ve keşifsel yenilikler yapmaları gerekmektedir

to fulfill at least one of three following tasks in order to keep up with the latest
changes: bringing self-developed changes/inventions to market; copying, tailoring
and applying changes as a leading figure or keeping up with the latest changes.
That being said, organizational learning capacity and innovation making ability
are the key assets. The significance of these assets becomes obvious while
organizations strive to enhance their performance in highly competitive environments.
In this respect, elaboration and explanation of these key assets as well as
correlating them with organizational performance will help using them more effectively
and productively.
Purpose of the Study: This paper aims to study how to improve organizational
learning capacity; consequently how it will affect organizational innovations and
how a change in performance may occur. Research, as well as the refining innovations,
also aims to explain the change in organizational performance.
Method of the Study: The study is assessed with participation of middle and senior
managers working in organizations producing software, chip, advanced technological
tools and technology solutions in Marmara district. Face-to-face, online
and delivery by hand techniques are utilized in questionnaire survey. Collected
data were evaluated with SPSS 18.0 statistical package.
Findings and Conclusions: System orientation, climate for learning orientation,
knowledge acquisition and utilization orientation, information sharing and
dissemination orientation all of which are sub-factors of organizational learning
have positive effect over exploratory innovation and exploitative innovation. The
study also exposes that exploratory innovation and exploitative innovation have similar
positive effect over organizational financial performance.
The outcomes of the statistical analyses of this research have exposed considerable
conclusions that increase in capacity of organizational learning will result in
an increase in organizational innovation and financial performance. In other means,
organizations that are willing to extend their innovation and financial performance
should broaden organizational learning capacity. In order to broaden organizational
learning capacity; operations including system orientation, climate
for learning orientation, knowledge acquisition and utilization orientation, information
sharing and dissemination orientation should be developed. Organizational
financial performance can also be expanded by developing exploratory and
exploitative innovations. Thus, exploitative innovation should be carried out on
a regular basis and exploratory innovation should be achieved independently
