  • Turkey Aerospace & Defense
    TURKEY AEROSPACE & DEFENSE 2016 AEROSPACE TURKEY TURKEY AEROSPACE & DEFENSE 2016 Aerospace - Defense - Original Equipment Manufacturers Platforms - Clusters - Multinationals - Sub-Tier Suppliers Distinguished GBR Readers, Since the inception of the Undersecretariat for Defense Industries 30 years ago, significant steps have been taken to achieve the goals of having the Turkish armed forces equipped with modern systems and technologies and promoting the development of the Turkish defense industry. In the last decade alone, the aerospace and defense (A&D) sector's total turnover quadrupled, while exports have increased fivefold, reaching $5.1 billion and $1.65 billion in 2014, respectively. The industry's investment in research and development (R&D) reached almost $1 billion in 2014. The total workforce in the A&D industry reached 30,000 personnel, of which 30% are engineers. Even more remarkable, Turkey is now at the stage of offering its own platforms for both the local market and to international allies, and has commenced a series of follow up local programs. Although this progress has been achieved under the circumstances of a healthy and consistent political environment and in parallel with sustained growth in the Turkish economy, the proportion of expenditure for defense in the national budget and as a percentage of Turkey’s GDP has been stable. With the help of the national, multinational and joint defense industry projects that have been undertaken in Turkey by the undersecretariat, the defense industry has become a highly capable community comprising large-scale main contractors, numerous sub- system manufacturers, small- and medium-sized enterprises, R&D companies who are involved in high-tech, niche areas, research institutes, and universities.

In making their recommendation, the Independent Directors have carefully considered a full range of expert advice available to them. Therefore you should take no action. The principal reasons for recommending that shareholders do not accept are: _ Having regard to a full range of expert advice now available to the Independent Directors (including the Independent Adviser’s valuation range of $1.28 to $1.57 per FPA Share), the Independent Directors consider that the Offer of $1.20 per FPA Share does not adequately reflect their view of the value of FPA based on their confidence in the strategic direction of the Company; and _ FPA is in a strong financial position and, as the Independent Adviser notes, FPA is at a “relatively early stage of implementation of the company’s comprehensive rebuilding strategy”.

Gentjan ULAJ İstanbul, October 2019 iii ÖZET ULUSLARARASI MARKALAŞMA SÜRECİNDE ULUSLARARARASI PAZARLARAR GİRİŞ YÖNETEMİN ÖNEMİ ARCELİK A.Ş ÜZERİNDE BİR ARAŞTİRMA Yüksek Lisans, İşletme Yönetimi Tez danışmanı: Prof. Dr. Figen Yıldırım Ekim- 2019, xv + 113 Sayfa Globalleşme ve teknoloji nedeniyle ekonomik koşullar çok hızlı değişiyor ve şirketlerin bu hızlı değişime ayak uydurmaları gerekiyor. Günümüz dünyasında, şirketler uluslararası pazarların bir parçası olmak için varlık buluyorlar. Ancak uluslararası olma ihtiyacının farkına varmak, sadece başlangıç. Şirketlerin belirli bir pazara girerken kullanacakları en iyi yöntemi, bu kararlarını etkileyen birçok faktörü göz önünde bulundurarak bulması çok önemlidir. Aynı zamanda, tüketiciler için istediğiniz her ürünü bulabileceğiniz bir dünyada yaşıyorken ve özellikle ürünler birbirleriyle daha benzer hale gelirken, onları birbirinden ayırmak çok zor, bu nedenle şirketler tüketicilerin karar verme süreçlerinde akıllarında yer almak için sürekli çaba sarf etmek zorundalar. Bir şirket için yerel pazarda markalaşmak kolay değildir, fakat uluslararası bir marka yaratmak çok zordur.
