Abstract

This study aimed to show the differentiation in the perception of export problems among exporting companies based on a professional in-house team dealing with export processes. For this purpose, exporting companies were categorized into three groups: (i) Manufacturing exporters without an export department, (ii) manufacturing exporters with an export department, and (iii) domestic export intermediaries. The effects of export rate and export year on the perception of export problems were also analysed. As a result, it was observed that the presence of a professional team in companies that deals explicitly with export processes makes a significant difference in the perception of export problems and the effects of export rate and export year on this perception.

Abstract

Bu çalışmada ihracat yapan işletmelerin ihracat sorunları algısının firmada ihracatla uğraşan profesyonel bir ekibin bulunmasına göre farklılaşma durumunu göstermek amaçlanmıştır. Bu amaçla işletmeler; ihracat departmanı olmayan üretici ihracatçılar, ihracat departmanı olan üretici ihracatçılar ve yerel aracı ihracatçılar olarak üç farklı gruba göre değerlendirilmiş ve analizler bu doğrultuda gerçekleştirilmiştir. Ayrıca ihracat oranı ve ihracat yapma yılının ihracat sorunlarına etkisi incelenmiş ve sonuçta işletmede ihracatla ilgilenen profesyonel bir ekibin bulunmasının, ihracat sorunları algısında ve bu algıya ihracat oranı ve ihracat yapma yılının etkisinde büyük farklılık oluşturduğu gözlemlenmiştir.
