EMPIRICAL STUDIES OVER A DECADE • The observations and remarks following will be based on several empirical studies distributed over a decade starting in 1997. • Automotive • Cement • Electronics • White goods’ suppliers • Automotive suppliers (technology management) • Electronics (NPD capability) • Machine building • Innovation in manufacturing industries (2004,2006) • Innovation models in manufacturing and innovation networks Gündüz Ulusoy

  43. RANKING OF PRACTICES IN RELATION TO THEIR IMPACT ON THE SUCCESS OF THE COMPANY* *Ulusoy, Moving Forward, TÜSİAD Report, Istanbul, 2003. Ulusoy, İkiz, "Benchmarking best manufacturing practices: a study into four sectors of the Turkish industry", International Journal of Operations and Production Management, 21, 1020-1043, 2001.

  44. RANKING OF OUTCOMES IN RELATION TO THEIR IMPACT ON THE SUCCESS OF THE COMPANY* *Ulusoy, Moving Forward, TÜSİAD Report, Istanbul, 2003. Ulusoy, İkiz, "Benchmarking best manufacturing practices: a study into four sectors of the Turkish industry", International Journal of Operations and Production Management, 21, 1020-1043, 2001. Gündüz Ulusoy

  45. COMPETITIVENESS STRATEGIES FOR MANUFACTURING FIRMS IN TURKEY* • In general, the manufacturing industry in Turkey had based its competitiveness strategy on low price rather than product differentiation. • But, rapid design change and rapid new product introduction were within the first five competitive priorities of all sectors involved. • Furthermore, decreasing the new product development time was within the first five manufacturing objectives. • The manufacturing firms were fully aware that in order to survive in the market process and product quality are necessary requirements. • There were areas open to improvement in quality issues of which companies seem to be aware. Consistent quality level was designated as the highest competitive priority. *Ulusoy, Moving Forward, TÜSİAD Report, Istanbul, 2003. Ulusoy, İkiz, "Benchmarking best manufacturing practices: a study into four sectors of the Turkish industry", International Journal of Operations and Production Management, 21, 1020-1043, 2001. Gündüz Ulusoy

  46. COMPETITIVENESS STRATEGIES FOR MANUFACTURING FIRMS IN TURKEY* • In line with these observations Total Quality Management came out to be the most popular action plan. • Based on these observations we can conclude that the Turkish manufacturing industry will increase the weight of product differentiation strategy against the low cost strategy within its mixed strategy. *Ulusoy, Moving Forward, TÜSİAD Report, Istanbul, 2003. Ulusoy, İkiz, "Benchmarking best manufacturing practices: a study into four sectors of the Turkish industry", International Journal of Operations and Production Management, 21, 1020-1043, 2001. Gündüz Ulusoy

  47. COMPETITIVENESS STRATEGIES FOR MANUFACTURING FIRMS IN TURKEY • The agenda of the Turkish manufacturing industry is to be able to manufacture quality goods at low cost and to increase their market share. • Firms also aim at introducing products with high added value in order to increase their profitability. • These strategies are consistent with the increasing emphasis on product differentiation and the increasing importance of new product development. Gündüz Ulusoy

  48. COMPETITIVENESS • At the macro level, competitiveness in Turkey suffers from three weaknesses: • Informal economy • Macroeconomic and political instability • Governmental ownership • Nonoperational profits were high. Gündüz Ulusoy
