Abstract (Original Language): 
Artan küresel rekabet, yaşanan hızlı değişimler, belirsizlik ve karmaşıklık işletmelerin hayatlarını tehdit etmekte ve onları daha yaratıcı ve yenilikçi olmaya sevk etmektedir. Günümüz işletmeleri yenilikçiliğe eskisinden daha çok oranda ihtiyaç duymaktadır. İşletmeler her alanda yenilikçilik kapasitelerini artırmak için çaba sarf etmektedirler. Yenilikçilik o kadarda kalay bir iş değildir. Yenilikçilik ciddi anlamda çaba gerektiren ve birçok alanda değişikliği zorunlu kılan bir süreçtir. Yenilik konusunda özellikle son yıllarda çalışmalarda ciddi oranda artış olmuştur. Konunun farklı yönleri gerek teorik ve uygulama bağlamında araştırılmaktadır. Bu çalışmada yenilikçilik konusuna farklı iki perspektiften yaklaşılmaktadır. Birincisi, işletmelerde yenilikçilik performansı ile üst düzey yöneticilerin kültürel özellikleri arasındaki ilişki irdelenmektedir. İkincisi, firmaların rekabetçi öncelikleri ise yenilik performansı arasındaki ilişki araştırılmaktadır. Çalışmanın amaçlarına ulaşmak amacıyla Türkiye çapında bir alan çalışması yapılmış ve elde edilen veriler SPSS paket programı yardımı ile analiz edilmiştir. Çalışma sonuçları literatür ve uygulama bağlamında değerlendirilip tartışılmıştır.
