Antecedents to supply chain innovation
(EMERALD GROUP PUBLISHING LTD, 2020) Fatma Nur Karaman Kabadurmus; Kabadurmus, Ozgur; Karaman Kabadurmus, Fatma Nur; Kabadurmuş, Fatma Nur Karaman
Purpose The purpose of this study is to examine organizational and environmental (competition capital scarcity and organization of labor) factors that affect firms' innovation activities within the supply chain. Design/methodology/approach This study empirically examines the factors that affect firms' innovation activities using firm-level data from the last round of Business Environment Enterprise Performance Surveys (BEEPS). The analysis covers major supply chain functions: production delivery and support systems. Findings The study shows that drivers of innovation vary with the type of innovation activity, as such innovation efforts across supply chain functions should prioritize strategic resources that will create competitive advantages. Our results also reveal that sustainability efforts in the Eastern Europe and Central Asia (EECA) region should prioritize labor market reforms over capital market reforms. Originality/value Current research on innovation and supply chain issues does not explicitly analyze innovations that occur in different sustainable supply chain functions and empirical studies that focus on the determinants of innovations in the supply chain network are very limited. The data used in this study cover 30 economies in EECA many of which are low- and middle-income countries and thus contribute to the implementation of sustainable practices in developing countries.
Competition and product innovation by Turkish firms
(IGI Global, 2016) Fatma Nur Karaman Kabadurmuş; Sajal Lahiri; Lahiri, Sajal; Karaman Kabadurmus, Fatma Nur
This chapter examines empirically the determinants of research and development (R&D) activities by Turkish firms. It focuses on the question of how competition affects product innovation and not process innovation in Turkey. In particular we test if there is a non-linear relationship between R&D activities of a firm and the degree of competition in that industry. We use Turkish firm-level data from the Business Environment and Enterprise Performance Survey (BEEPS) and find strong support for an inverted-U relationship between the two variables. © 2016 Elsevier B.V.

Corruption and innovation: the importance of competition
(Emerald Group Holdings Ltd., 2022) Fatma Nur Karaman Kabadurmuş; Kevin Sylwester; Karaman Kabadurmus, Fatma Nur; Sylwester, Kevin; Kabadurmus, Fatma Nur Karaman
Purpose: The purpose of this study is to examine how corruption affects the prevalence of product and process innovation by firms. Design/methodology/approach: This study uses firm-level data from the 2012–2016 Business Environment Enterprise Performance Surveys and utilizes a conditional mixed process model to address endogeneity concerns taking bribery as a measure of corruption. Findings: The study shows that measures of bribery are positively and robustly associated with innovation but mainly for firms reporting many competitors. The results are stronger for firms reporting more obstacles. Both findings support the inference that bribes facilitate innovation by allowing firms to evade regulatory obstacles. Originality/value: The current research on corruption's effect on innovation restricts the association to be uniform across the sample but this study shows that the impact depends on the degree of competition faced by a firm. In addition the data used in this study cover 30 economies in Eastern Europe and Central Asia and thus contributes to determining the effects of anticorruption practices in emerging countries. © 2022 Elsevier B.V.
