“SÜRDÜRÜLEBİLİR REKABET ÜSTÜNLÜĞÜ” KAVRAMI ÜZERİNE BİR İNCELEME

Abstract

“Sürdürülebilir rekabet üstünlüğü SRÜ ” kavramı stratejik yönetim alanında belki de en sık kullanılan kavramdır. Ancak, onu açıkça tanımlama girişimleri oldukça sınırlı olmuştur. Dolayısıyla, sürdürülebilirliğin tam olarak ne anlama geldiği açık değildir. Bu çalışmada, SRÜ kavramına açıklık getirmek amacıyla; SRÜ kavramının tanımı, SRÜ’nün uzun dönemli daha iyi finansal performansla ilişkileri, değişik yazarlara göre SRÜ’nün kaynakları ve SRÜ’nün ekonomi alanındaki yeri literatür taramasına dayalı olarak incelenmiştir. Böylece, SRÜ kavramına ilişkin anlayışın zenginleştirilerek, yöneticilerin SRÜ arayışlarında daha etkili olmalarına yardımcı olmak amaçlanmıştır.
