    The moderating role of environmental munificence on innovativeness in B2B markets
    (Emerald Group Publishing Limited, 2019-09-30) Gül, Mısra Çağla
    Purpose: The purpose of this paper is to understand the relationship between two business orientations, namely, entrepreneurial orientation and market orientation, and innovativeness taking into account the moderating influence of environmental munificence. Design/methodology/approach: This is a multiple respondent quantitative study. A total of 312 marketing managers middle level and above from 79 firms participated in the survey. Multiple regression and hierarchical multiple regression was the method of choice for data analysis. Findings: Findings indicate that environmental munificence moderates the entrepreneurial orientation – innovativeness relationship. Findings reveal that even though a significant impact of entrepreneurial orientation is not present on innovativeness, this insignificance may be due to environmental munificence. Market orientation has a direct positive impact on innovativeness, and environmental munificence negatively moderates this relationship suggesting that when the environment is less munificent, the market orientation – innovation link becomes stronger. Practical implications: Managers should be aware that the more munificent an environment becomes, having an entrepreneurial orientation will be more important for innovativeness. In addition, results of this study suggest that being market oriented more strongly impacts a firm’s ability to innovate in non-munificent environments where growth opportunities are undesirable. Originality/value: This study is unique in that it is a multi-respondent study with respondents from different layers of each participating organization, incorporating the moderating impact of the business environment’s munificence on business orientations–innovativeness relationship.

    Relative effects of marketing effectiveness dimensions on firm performance: An empirical analysis with a multi-industry sample
    (Bogazici Universitesi, 2009) Gül, Mısra Çağla
    The aim of this study is to understand the influence of marketing operational efficiency and marketing system effectiveness on firm performance dimensions. Marketing operational efficiency and marketing system effectiveness are two dimensions of marketing effectiveness derived as a result of the exploratory factor analysis performed on the data. Firm performance dimensions used in the study are overall performance, ROI, percentage of new product sales, change in market share, and sales growth, all measured relative to competitors. Multiple respondent firm level data are collected through a survey of 74 firms operating in a variety of industries, resulting in 296 individual surveys. Findings indicate that marketing operational efficiency, a set of short-term, operational dimensions, positively influences all of the firm performance dimensions. On the other hand, marketing system effectiveness, measuring longer-term, strategic factors, does not have such an impact.

    Impact of COVID-19 on people-processing vs. information-processing services: case of food service and banking industries
    (Springer Nature, 2021) Gül, Mısra Çağla; Kaytaz, Mehmet
    Although COVID-19 pandemic is a health crisis, it has and will continue to have serious repercussions on business activities and the global economy, as well as a strong societal impact. This chapter focuses on comparing and contrasting the banking services sector and the food service industry in Turkey in relation to how these industries were impacted by and responded to the crisis caused by COVID-19 pandemic. Banking services are information-processing services and the food service business for the most part is people-processing. The distinction is that informationprocessing services can be provided both face-to-face in a high-contact fashion, and online/through the phone in an untact fashion. People-processing services, however, are mostly high-contact services where the person receiving the service must be present when the service is provided (Lovelock in Journal of Marketing 47: 9–20, 1983). Naturally, this distinction creates a difference in the response of these two different types of services to the COVID-19 crisis. This chapter analyzes the economic and social developments during the COVID-19 outbreak in Turkey along with current and expected future action steps by the government and NGOs. Findings suggest that innovative products, market-linking capabilities and investment in digitalization and trust building activities are effective in dealing with the new normal.
