Abstract

Company mergers can be considered as one of the ways for companies surviving in a situation if the sector population reaches to the end point. The aim of this study is to determine the key sectors in Turkey in which the merger strategies could be primarily needed. In this respect, the carrying capacities of 88 sectors according to the NACE level 2 codes were calculated with the sector population, company founding and disbanding data during 2006-2016. It was determined that in 68 sectors, the sectors populations are above the carrying capacities of sectors. This shows that 77.3% of all sectors may face sectorial resource problems in the future. 10 sectors in which merger strategies could have a more critical importance for the continuity of companies are identified from 68 sectors

TAŞIMA KAPASİTESİNİN BİRLEŞME STRATEJİLERİNDE ÖNCÜL BİR GÖSTERGE OLARAK KULLANILMASI

Abstract

Şirket birleşmeleri, sektör popülasyonunun sürdürülemez noktaya geldiği bir durumda şirketlerin hayatta kalma yollarından biri olarak düşünülebilir. Çalışmanın amacı Türkiye’de birleşme stratejilerinin öncelikli olarak ihtiyaç duyulabileceği sektörleri belirlemektir. Bu doğrultuda NACE düzey 2 koduna göre 88 sektöre ait 2006-2016 yılları arasındaki sektör popülasyonu, şirket kuruluş ve kapanış verileri kullanılarak sektör taşıma kapasiteleri hesaplanmıştır. 68 sektörde, sektör popülasyonunun sektör taşıma kapasitesinin üstünde olduğu tespit edilmiştir. Bu durum, tüm sektörlerin %77,3’ünün gelecekte sektörel kaynak sorunu ile karşı karşıya kalabileceğini göstermektedir. 68 sektörden şirketlerin devamlılığı için birleşmelerin daha kritik bir öneme sahip olabileceği 10 sektör belirlenmiştir.
