    The impact of technology transfer performance on total quality management and quality performance
    (Elsevier Science Bv, 2016) Bolatan, Gulin Idil Sonmezturk; Gozlu, Sitki; Alpkan, Lutfihak; Zaim, Selim
    The purpose of this research is to define the critical factors of technology transfer performance (TTP) and to measure its impact on quality performance (QP) and total quality management (TQM). In this study, a questionnaire form was designed and later conducted face to face with manufacturing managers or quality managers of the manufacturing firms in Turkey. Two hundred organizations of the largest 1000 companies according to the classification of Istanbul Chamber of Industry have been evaluated. A model was developed to investigate the relationships among technology transfer performance, quality performance, and total quality management that is based on theoretical considerations. Technology transfer performance has a positive and strong impact on total quality management, but it has no significant impact on quality performance. A positive and strong relationship was determined between total quality management and quality performance. The relationship between technology transfer performance and quality performance has become significant with the mediating role of total quality management. (C) 2016 The Authors.

    Unlocking the relationships between strategic planning, leadership and technology transfer competence: the mediating role of strategic quality management
    (2022) Sönmeztürk Bolatan, Gülin İdil; Gölgeci, İsmail; Arslan, Ahmad; Tatoğlu, Ekrem; Zaim, Selim; Gözlü, Sıtkı
    Purpose This study aims to investigate the relationships between firms' strategic planning (SP), leadership and technology transfer competence (TTC) by specifically incorporating the mediating role of strategic quality management (SQM). Design/methodology/approach This study performs structural equation modeling using AMOS on survey data collected from 200 Turkish firms operating in multiple industries and sectors. Findings This study finds that leadership in Turkish firms operating in multiple sectors is positively associated with SQM. This study further finds that SQM positively influences Turkish firms' TTC and mediates the roles of SP and leadership in TTC. Research limitations/implications A key research implication from this study relates to the mediating role of SQM in TTC in an emerging economy context. This study highlights that SP and leadership can play an essential role in TTC through the mediating mechanism of SQM. Consequently, SQM emerges as a crucial linking pin in conveying the impact of quality management practices on technology transfer in emerging markets. Practical implications An essential managerial implication of this study relates to the critical roles of leadership, SP and SQM in TTC. For the managers of firms operating in a relatively uncertain emerging context such as Turkey, it is essential to adopt a supportive and empowering leadership style, where open communication and innovative activities are viewed positively and SQM is adopted holistically. Also, SP should be streamlined throughout the firm and followed by SQM to support TTC. Originality/value This paper links the technology (and knowledge) management and the strategy and leadership literature streams by focusing on the mechanisms of technology transfer and delving into the linkages between SQM, leadership, SP and TTC. It specifically presents SP and leadership as precursors to SQM in their joint influence on TTC. Accordingly, this research bridges technology, strategy and leadership research and provides a broader picture of technology transfer that encompasses the joint role of different processes in firms' TTC.
