Abstract:

 The digitalization of production and business processes, one of the components of Industry 4, can offer numerous advantages, such as increasing production and resource efficiency and reducing costs. Due to the contribution of digitalization to the sustainability of national economies, industrial policies support SMEs. The study aims to analyze the impact of manufacturing SMEs attitudes towards digitalization on their digitalization levels and investigate the perspectives of manufacturing SMEs that benefit from KOSGEB digitalization support. The quantitative research method was used in the study; the sampling method was not used, and a complete census was conducted. The data for the research were collected and analyzed from manufacturing SMEs benefiting from KOSGEB digitalization support. According to the regression analysis results, it was concluded that SMEs attitudes towards digitalization positively affect their digitalization levels and that SMEs are generally satisfied with the way KOSGEB support is provided, the support criteria, and the support rate.

 Endüstri 4ün bileşenlerinden biri olan üretim ve iş süreçlerinin dijitalleşmesi, üretim ve kaynak verimliliğinin artırılması ve maliyetlerin düşürülmesi gibi sayısız avantaj sunabilmektedir. Dijitalleşmenin ülke ekonomilerinin sürdürülebilirliğine katkısından dolayı sanayi politikaları ile KOBİler desteklenmektedir. Bu doğrultuda, çalışmanın amacı, imalatçı KOBİlerin dijitalleşmeye yönelik tutumlarının dijitalleşme düzeylerine etkisini analiz etmek ve KOSGEB dijitalleşme desteğinden yararlanan imalatçı KOBİlerin desteğe bakış açılarının araştırılmasıdır. Çalışmada nicel araştırma yöntemi kullanılmış olup, örnekleme yöntemi kullanılmamış, tam sayım yapılmıştır. Araştırmaya ilişkin veriler KOSGEB KOBİGEL-KOBİ Gelişim Destek Programından yararlanan imalatçı KOBİlerden toplanmıştır. Toplam 105 KOBİden toplanan veriler SPSS 26.0 paket programından yararlanılarak analiz edilmiştir. Yapılan regresyon analizi sonucuna göre KOBİlerin dijitalleşmeye yönelik tutumlarının dijitalleşme düzeyleri üzerinde olumlu bir etkisi olduğu sonucuna ulaşılmıştır.
