Journal Title: International Journal of Business and Management Invention - Year 2017, Vol 6, Issue 2

Abstract

As the need for the use of technology in production increases, the complexity of the systems are becoming harder to conduct (Cerulli & Filipetti, 2012: 877). So, enterprises need effective capabilities in management of technology in their plants. The present study aims to define the antecedents of technological capabilities by using the date obtained from some companies in Technology Development Zones (TDZs) in Turkey. A scale is adapted from the literature and sent to randomly defined sample. 195 usable responses are obtained and the data is analyzed via descriptive statistics, correlations and factor analyses. The findings showed that the new scale is good at explaining some antecedents of technological capabilities, where some are failed to be statistically be proven. The research also contains some implications for practitioners and academics for further research.
