Current Situation End of year 2002, Turkcell had total assets of $3.2 billion, revenues of $1.97 billion, net income of $101 million, and more than 2000 employees. They also held More than 60% of the Turkish market with 16.3 million subscribers as of March 31, 2003.
Strategic PostureMission: • No stated mission statement but the implied mission of the • company is to continue to hold the majority of the growing • Turkish market while expanding to more European countries • by differentiating the services provided from competition • and maintaining a loyal customer base.
Objectives • Increase customer base • Retain its current customers • Increase the amount of usage per customer (amount of • usage dropped from an average of 100 minutes per month to • 56.2 because of Turkey’s economic crisis in 2001.) • Maintain Good customer relations and social responsibility • Expand to other European Countries
Strategies • Attempt to lower the taxes applied to the Global System for Mobile Communication (GSM) • (currently 66% tax on earnings before interest.) • Combat the unfair competition of Aycell. (The Turkish government covers any losses of Aycell. • Turkcell has issued concerns to the regulator body in Turkey but can’t do much else.) • Be aware of possible opportunities to merge with or acquire another company. (Aycell, the • competition merged with Italian communications giant TIM.) • In an attempt to show social responsibility Turkcell provided 5,000 young girls with scholarships • and training in Eastern Turkey. (This is significant because daughters are generally neglected and • the family’s limited funds are normally spent on sons. Turkcell received Institute of Public • Relations (IPR) excellence awards in the category of Corporate Social Responsibility and the Cystal • Obelisk award from the Foundation of Women Executives (WEPR)) • To raise the amount of minutes per month educational campaigns are being considered. (Many • people in Turkey, especially in the rural areas do not know how to best use mobile communications • and are resistant to newer technologies.) • Considering expanding to other European countries. • Be aware of other competitors that may expand to Turkey. • Considering whether they should merge with another company to extend their European market or • if it should go at it alone. • Considering introducing 3G technology. (Not sure if the revenues will be enough to cover the costs • of implementing such an infrastructure.)
Policies • Have large amounts of consumer services • Stay on the forefront of technology • Promotion from within (Turkcell provides extensive • employee training which increases employee loyalty which • in turn helps to provide better service because of more • experience and a will to do a good job.) • Pay slightly above industry average (This also helps to • maintain employee loyalty and provide better service.) • Proactive approach • Result oriented • Minimum hierarchy • Full accountability • Simplicity
