CONSIDERING THE FINANCIAL AND NON-FINANCIAL RATIOS USING TOPSIS ON THE PERFORMANCE EVALUATION, AN APLICATION IN INTERCITY HIGHWAY BUS SECTOR

Abstract

Every passing day, in the increasing competitive environment, businesses who want to maintain their market position, are having changes in many areas and need to manage this change. Therefore, enterprises, for all kinds of decisions they take, are to choose the right and the most suitable alternative. Reliability or objectivity of the decisions takes a very important role in business life. If the decisions are taken superficially and only based on estimation, businesses’ vision will be a superficial and predictive vision as well. For this reason, the classical methods of decision-making have been replaced by modern methods of decision-making. One of the most important features of modern methods of decision-making, as TOPSIS (Technique for Order Preference by Similarity to Ideal Solutions), is to help take decisions by considering many criteria, for a more objective performance evaluation. In this regard, TOPSIS known as Multi-Criteria Decision Making Methods now has a wide use in many areas of the private sector as well as the public sector. In this study, a four-year financial and nonfinancial data of Anadolu Transportation Corporation which performed very well despite the fact that it recently have begun operating in the transport sector were evaluated by TOPSIS method. In this evaluation, the performance of the company which showed success in the transportation sector is being examined before and after the Global Financial Crisis of 2008. A detailed review of the literature on TOPSIS Method takes place in the first section of the study. In the second section, matrices of TOPSIS method are described step by step. In the third section decision matrices were created by using financial and nonfinancial data of the company by years and tried to determine proximity values. In the fourth and final section of the study, success rating by years of the company was revealed and interpreted and the operating performance was displayed as a line chart
