Özet: In the global competition environment, enterprises have to focus on their Supply Chains performance to have a competitive advantage. The use of both Intellectual Capital Management (ICM) and Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) systems are the most important factors that affect system performance. However, there are many other factors affecting the performance of Supply Chain and these factors have to be inspected in accordance to some metrics. The ICM literature has produced tens of models to support the various ICM activities, such as identification, measurement, valuation, acquisition and reporting of intellectual capital. Nevertheless, the practice of applying various ICM models seems to be a fairly new issue in many countries and organizations. Turkey is one of those countries that have just been introduced with ICM. In this study, a questionnaire-based research has been made on Turkish enterprises to analyze ICM’s and ERP’s effects on Supply Chain performance. Understanding of these relationships is vital for realizing the importance of ICM and ERP. Questionnaire results have been analyzed with statistical methods to summarize the current situation in Turkish enterprises. Results of this study have showed that both ERP and ICM have positive effects on improving the performance of Supply Chain system. Also these results can be used in the comparison of international differences of the effects of ERP implementations and application of ICM models on Supply Chain performance.
