In recent years, environmental uncertainty and market orientation have been considered key elements of superior firm performance. Although environmental uncertainty and market orientation may affect firm performance, innovation also mediates these effects. In this study, a conceptual model was developed to test the mediating effect of innovation on the relationships between these constructs. Data for the study were collected from Turkey's Top 500 Companies. Hierarchical regression and multiple regression analyses were employed to test the research hypotheses. The findings of the study revealed that the direct effects of environmental uncertainty and innovation on firm performance were statistically significant, although the effect of market orientation was not. The results obtained from the present study seem to indicate a possible "dual effect" of market orientation on firm performance. The results also indicated that innovation, especially product innovation, mediates the relationship between environmental uncertainty and firm performance. The findings indicate that innovation, especially product innovation, is critical for firm performance.

A Case Study of Using Innovation Catcher as an Innovation Performance Assessment Framework for Housing Projects
Bilgin, Pınar; Dikmen Toker, İrem; Birgönül, Mustafa Talat (2020-11-14)
The crucial role of innovation in improving or even maintaining the strategic position and competitive advantage of construction companies in a highly competitive industry is widely acknowledged. In this sense, construction companies are spending a substantial amount of money and time on innovation activities. However, an in-depth literature review showed that available innovation assessment frameworks are not capable of revealing the outputs of these investments and capturing the actual innovation performa...
Using boolean- and fuzzy-logic-based methods to analyze multiple case study evidence in management research
Oz, O (SAGE Publications, 2004-06-01)
The case study method has been widely used as a research strategy in the management field. The issues of comparability and of generalizability when using this method, however, continue to raise profound challenges for researchers. Boolean- and fuzzy-logic-based methods offer a valuable basis for a contribution in this respect because they enable researchers to derive valid meaning from data and to introduce additional analytical rigor into case study research. Inspired by this opportunity, the present artic...
Understanding drivers of performance in the 3PL industry in Hong Kong
Huo, Baofeng; Selen, Willem; Yeung, Jeff Hoi Yan; Zhao, Xiande (Emerald, 2008-01-01)
Purpose - The aim of this paper is to develop an overarching framework to better understand drivers of performance in third-party logistics (3PL) linked to the operations strategy literature.
Using fuzzy risk assessment to rate cost overrun risk in international construction projects
Dikmen Toker, İrem; Birgönül, Mustafa Talat (Elsevier BV, 2007-07-01)
Determination of an appropriate mark-up while bidding for international construction projects is a critical decision. Level of mark-up is a function of risks associated with a project. Construction companies may benefit from a tool that helps them to assess the level of risk so that they can determine an appropriate mark-up. The aim of this paper is to propose a fuzzy risk assessment methodology for international construction projects and develop a tool to implement the proposed methodology. The proposed me...
A linear programming approach to quaity improvement project and product mix selection under inspection error and rework
Şarbak, Nedret; Köksal, Gülser; Department of Industrial Engineering (2006)
In this study, the effect of inspection error on the product mix and quality projects selection in a manufacturing environment where rework and inspection errors exist is examined. It is assumed that the products (items) for which rework is necessary are reprocessed at a separate work center and 100% inspection is performed for the products both after rework and processing operations. Markov chain approach is used to compute yield and rework rates. In addition, nominal-the-best type of a quality loss functi...
