Abstract
Purpose- Companies
have to open up to new markets in order to develop and increase their
competitiveness in the face of globalization and technological revolution.
Target market selection is an important issue that needs to be addressed with
priority in terms of efficient use of resources.
Methodology- The problem
of market selection is a multi-criteria decision-making problem due to its
nature which requires the evaluation of different and sometimes conflicting
criteria in the decision-making process. In real life problems decision makers’
choices and point of views can be vague which led to the development of fuzzy
methods. The Fuzzy VIKOR method considers the uncertainties in the
decisionmaking process, setting a compromise solution that provides the maximum
group benefit for the majority and minimum individual regret for the opponent.
Findings- In this
study, Fuzzy VIKOR method is used to select primary market selection with the
decision makers’ from 8 fresh fruitvegetable exporter companies and a
compromise solution is found.
Conclusion- In this
study, Fuzzy VIKOR method is used to determine the target market selection for
fresh fruit-vegetable companies. As a result of the evaluations made with the 8
exporting firms in the fresh fruit and vegetable sector, a compromise solution
has been proposed as to which of the 5 target markets - UK, Netherlands, Saudi
Arabia and Hong Kong - will be prioritized or the market will be selected in
terms of expanding the existing market share.
