Abstract

Sınırların yok olduğu, bölgesel işbirliklerinin arttığı, küreselleşmenin hüküm sürdüğü günümüz iş hayatında işletmelerin uluslararasılaşması adeta bir zorunluluk haline gelmiştir. Başarılı, kendi markasına sahip, kaliteli ürünlere ve hizmet anlayışına sahip olan işletmeler yerel sınırlar içerisinde sıkışmaktan kurtulup uluslararası pazarlara açılmayı tercih etmişlerdir. Diğer yandan Türkiye Cumhuriyeti’nin kuruluşundan bu yana ülkenin lokomotif sektörü olma özelliğini sürdüren Türk tekstil ve hazır giyim sektörü Türkiye ekonomisinin ve istihdamının en önemli unsurlarından birisidir. Uzun yıllardır sağladığı istihdam ve yarattığı katma değerle ekonominin önemli mihenk taşlarından birisi olan hazır giyim sektörü aynı zamanda ülke ekonomisinin uluslararasılaşma sürecine de önemli katkılar sağlamıştır. Bu bağlamda, bu araştırmanın amacı Türk hazır giyim sektörünün uluslararasılaşma sürecini analiz etmektir. Bu amaç doğrultusunda başarılı, kendi markasına sahip olan ve uluslararasılaşma sürecinde yol kat etmiş Türk hazır giyim işletmelerini kapsayan bir anket çalışması gerçekleştirilmiştir. Elde edilen veriler değerlendirilerek Türk hazır giyim sektörünün uluslararasılaşma süreci analiz edilmiştir
