BIST İmalat Firmalarındaki Mühendis CEO’lar ve Firma Performansı

Öz

Bu çalışmada Borsa İstanbul’da 2009-2015 arası işlem gören 122 imalat firmasındaki icra kurulu başkanının (CEO) öğrenim geçmişi ile firma performansı arasındaki ilişki incelenmiştir. Faaliyet performansı ve piyasa bazlı performans olmak üzere iki farklı performans ölçüsü analiz edilmiştir. Bulgularımıza göre icra kurulu başkanı mühendislik kökenli olan firmalar, icra kurulu başkanı diğer öğrenim geçmişlerinden olan firmalara kıyasla varlıkların getirisi bakımından daha yüksek faaliyet performansı göstermektedir. Ayrıca, icra kurulu başkanı mühendis olan firmalar Tobin’s Q oranı bakımından da daha iyi piyasa bazlı performans göstermektedir. Mühendislik kökenli icra kurulu başkanı sahibi olma ile firma performansı arasında göstermiş olduğumuz pozitif ilişki, firma düzeyindeki çeşitli kontrol değişkenlerinin çok değişkenli analizimize dahil edilmesinden etkilenmemektedir. Ayrıca bu pozitif ilişki daha küçük boyutlu halka açık imalat firmaları için daha belirgindir.
