Özet

Bu çalışmanın amacı rekabet avantajı ile ülke markalaması arasındaki ilişkiyi vatandaşların algıları üzerinden incelemektir. Ülke markalaması, bir ulusun sürdürülebilir rekabet edebilirliğinin yönetilmesinde hayati bir rol oynayan yönetimin özüdür. Ülke rekabeti, bir ülkenin küresel rekabet alanındaki rakiplerinden ne kadar farklılaşabileceğini gösteren bir kavramdır. Anketler, Türkiye'de Erzurum ve İran'da ise Urmiye şehrinde yapılmıştır. Anketlerin uygulanmasında, kolayda örnekleme yöntemi kullanılmıştır. Eksik girdiler hariç tutularak verilerin geçerliliği belirlenmiş olup, analizi yapmak için 604 katılımcı dikkate alınmıştır. Çalışmanın Türkiye’deki örneklemini 286, İran’dakini ise 318 kişi oluşturmaktadır. Çalışmanın sonucunda, Türk vatandaşlarının İran vatandaşlarına göre kendi ülkelerinin daha fazla duygusal, fiziksel, finansal ve sosyal çekiciliğe sahip olduğunu düşündükleri görülmüştür. Ayrıca her iki ülkede de fiziksel, finansal ve liderlik bileşenleri ile rekabet avantajı arasında pozitif yönlü anlamlı bir ilişki bulunmuştur.Anahtar Kelimeler: Ülke Markalama, Rekabetçi Avantaj, Türkiye, İranJEL Sınıflandırması: M30, M31, N30
