Abstract

In this study, we develop and empirically examine the idea of the inner circle within the context of Turkish family business groups. The question we ask is "what work and educational experiences distinguish professional managers who get into the inner circle of the family leader?" Findings show that those who get into the inner circle are likely to have longer internal tenure and public sector experience relative to other highranking managers. There is only a weak relationship between international work experience and inner circle membership. Of the two institutional-theoretic perspectives that we consider, these findings lend greater support to the national version than the economic one. For educational backgrounds, we find no empirical support for separate hypotheses predicated on each of these perspectives.

Özet

Bu çalışmada, iç halka fikrini Türkiye'deki büyük aile holdingleri ortamına taşıyıp, görgül olarak inceliyoruz. Sorduğumuz soru, holdingin başında bulunan aile üyesinin etrafındaki iç halkaya dâhil olabilen profesyonel yöneticileri hangi iş ve eğitim deneyimlerinin ayırt ettiğidir. Bulgular, iç halkaya girenlerin uzun holding kıdemine ve devlet deneyimine sahip olmaları ihtimalinin diğer üst düzey yöneticilere kıyasla daha yüksek olduğunu göstermektedir. Yurtdışında çalışma deneyimi ile iç halka üyeliği arasında zayıf bir ilişki vardır. Bu sonuçlar, kuramsal temel olarak aldığımız iki kurumsalcı yaklaşımdan ulusal kurumsalcılığa, iktisadi olanına kıyasla daha fazla destek sağlamaktadır. Yöneticilerin eğitim geçmişine dair, yine bu iki yaklaşıma dayalı, hipotezlerimiz ise görgül destek görmemektedir
