A wrong decision may prevent multinational enterprises from exiting foreign markets.

Due to the importance of organizational longevity in sustaining, this study aims to determine factors affecting foreign market entry decision. To this end, the authors apply to the literature review and synthesis techniques and hence identify nine antecedent factors affecting foreign market entry decision.

Özet

Uluslararası pazara giriş kararı çok fazla faktörün bir arada değerlendirilmesini gerekli kılan, karmaşık bir süreç gerektirir. Yanlış verilebilecek bir karar firmanın girdiği pazardan çıkışını engelleyebilir ve yaşamını tehlikeye atabilir. Nitekim yabancı pazara girilirken kullanılan kaynakların (sermaye, insan kaynağı, teknoloji) ve yatırımların geri dönmeme ihtimali de bulunmaktadır. Örgütsel sürekliliğin temininde taşıdığı önemden dolayı bu çalışma, çokuluslu işletmelerin yabancı pazara giriş modu seçiminde dikkate alması gereken faktörleri belirleme amacı taşımaktadır. Bu amaca yönelik olarak alanyazın tarama tekniğinden yararlanılmış ve yabancı pazara giriş kararı verilirken dokuz farklı faktörün belirleyici role sahip olduğu sonucuna ulaşılmıştır.
