Abstract

Bu çalışma, makro boyutun Libya'daki menşe ülke perspektifine olan etkisini araştırmıştır. Araştırmacı, birkaç yıl içinde yapılan muhtelif çalışmaları gözden geçirdi ve makro faktörlerin menşe ülkesinin tüketici perspektifi üzerinde önemli bir etkisi olduğunu ve daha sonra satın alma karar sürecini yönlendirdiğini buldu. Önceki çalışma, ekonomik faktörün diğer faktörlerden daha yüksek bir etkiye sahip olduğunu, ancak bu ampirik çalışmada siyasi faktörün daha yüksek bir etkiye sahip olduğunu bulmuştur.

Bu araştırma, makro boyutun Libya'daki menşe ülke perspektifine etkisini, Arapça dillerinde 650 anket dağıtarak Türk giyim üzerine incelemeyi amaçlamaktadır. anket, Libya'daki 650 kişiye gönderildi. Tamamen ve düzgün bir şekilde doldurulmuş 610 anket aldık (98,1%). ancak, menşe ülkesi ve Türk kıyafetleri hakkında hiçbir şey bilmediklerini ve 40 anketin geri dönmediğini belirten katılımcıların 46 anketini iptal etti. Böylece kalan anket sayısı 564 ankettir. Güvenlik durumu nedeniyle, beş şehirde (Trablus, Misratah, Aszawiyah, El Khums ve Zwara) 650 katılımcı incelenmiştir.

Mevcut çalışma, gelişmekte olan bir ülkede, özellikle Libya'da yapılan benzer birkaç çalışmadan biridir. Mevcut çalışma, tüketicinin menşe ülkesi perspektifi üzerindeki etki makro boyutuna ilişkin ampirik bilgiler sunmaktadır. Bulgular, COO araştırmasının yanı sıra Libya gibi gelişmekte olan ülkelerde faaliyet gösteren işletmeler için de önemli olacaktır. Çalışma, Libyalı müşterilerin Türkiye'de yapılan kıyafetlere karşı olumlu bir imajı olduğunu ve Türk kıyafetlerini siyasi bir faktöre dayalı olarak satın almayı tercih ettiklerini tespit etmiştir.
