Abstract

Purpose- In this research it is aimed to
investigate the impact of marketing and research and development (R&D)
expenditures of companies on their financial performance in manufacturing
industry. 

Methodology- Data of 41 manufacturing companies
listed on Borsa İstanbul (BIST) was gathered for the period of 2009-2015 from
their financial statements. Since the data set is a panel data, methods of
panel regression analysis have been performed. 

Findings- As a result of the analysis, impact
of marketing and R&D expenditures on firms’ performance differentiate
according to financial performance measures and it is founded that they have no
effect on some financial performance indicators.







Conclusion- Test results imply that marketing
and R&D expenditures have positive contribution to manufacturing companies’
some of the financial performance indicators. However, manufacturing companies
cannot use marketing and R&D budgets in an effective and efficient way.
Manufacturing companies are not able to manage marketing and R&D activities
successfully.
