摘要:Abstract This study aims to identify the port innovations adopted and to reveal the effects of port information systems usage on port innovations. In accordance with the aim, a field study encompassing a sample of 39 Turkish ports was employed. The results showed that since the usage of port management information systems and terminal operating systems by Turkish ports has been accelerated in the recent years, the renewal of port information systems did not appear as a priority for the ports. The results revealed that port innovations employed are concentrated on eco-innovations, technological (equipment) innovations and port service innovations. Results supported all of the five hypotheses. An important finding was that port traffic type impacts the adoption of port innovations. Besides, it has been found out that while the usage of terminal operating systems has impacts on operational process innovations; the usage of port community information systems has effects on port service innovations.
