Öz

Bu çalışma rekabetin şiddetli olduğu sektörlerde stratejik ittifakların sürdürülebilir rekabet avantajı sağlamadaki rolünün ortaya konulmasına yöneliktir. Mobil iletişim sektöründe faaliyet gösteren firmaların stratejik ittifakları, değer zinciri analizinin temel faaliyetlerine göre gruplandırılarak, sektördeki firmaların stratejik ittifak modeli çıkartılmıştır. Sonuç olarak değer zincirinin temel faaliyetlerine göre tedarik ittifakı, teknoloji ittifakı ve dağıtım ittifakları değer yaratarak, sürdürülebilir rekabet avantajını arttırmaktadır. Servis ve içerik ittifakları ve pazarlama ittifaklarında ise oluşturulan ittifak sayısından çok ittifakı oluşturan işbirlikçilerin sayısının değer yaratarak, sürdürülebilir rekabet avantajını arttırdığı sonucuna ulaşılmıştır.
