The Concept of Key Person Risk in Enterprises

Öz

Günümüze kadar organizasyonlarda kilit çalışan olmak çok iyi karşılanmakta idi. Hatta kişisel gelişim kitapları ve pazarlama kitapları nasıl kilit kişi olunuru anlatıyordu. Ancak son yıllarda kilit çalışanlarının başlarına kötü durumlar gelmesi veya işten ayrılmasının ardından ortaya çıkan problemler işletmeleri finansal açıdan oldukça zora sokmuştur. Bu bağlamda kilit kişi riskinin araştırılması, literatürde daha önce bu konu hakkında çok az araştırma yapılmış olması ve çok sayıda işletmenin kilit kişi riskine maruz kalması nedeniyle önemli hale gelmiştir. Bu çalışmada az sayıdaki literatür ve şirketlerin son günlerde kilit yöneticilerinden kaynaklı yaşadıkları krizler araştırılarak kilit kişi riskleri analiz edilmiştir. Bu çalışma vaka inceleme yöntemi ile araştırılmış olup, işletmelerin üst düzey yöneticilerinin veya diğer önemli çalışanlarının olağandışı hareketlerinin veya işletmeden ayrılmalarının işletmeleri etkilediği ortaya çıkartılmıştır.

The Concept of Key Person Risk in Enterprises

Öz

Until today, being a key employee in organizations was very well received. Even personal development books and marketing books were described how to become a key person. However, in the recent years, the problems that emerged after the key employees' getting in to trouble or leaving their jobs have been financially difficult for the enterprises. In this context, the investigation of the risk of key persons has become important since there has been little research on this issue in the literature and many enterprises are exposed to the risk of key people. In this study, the smallest number of literature and companies' recent crisis in the last days were researched and key risk factors were analyzed. This study has been investigated with case study method and it has been revealed that the extraordinary movements of the senior managers or other important employees of the enterprises or their separation from the enterprises affect the enterprises.
