Özet

İşletmelerin büyüme stratejilerinden birisi de diğer işletmeleri satın almaktır. Büyüme, işletmenin esas faaliyet alanı ile ilgili olabilirken, farklı sektörlerden farklı faaliyet alanlarını da içerebilmektedir. Bu çalışmada sınırlı sayıda işletmenin (Amazon, Google, Microsoft, Facebook gibi.) oluşturduğu oligopol bir yapıya sahip internet sektöründe önemli bir şirket olan Google Inc.’nin satın alma stratejisi incelenmiştir. 2001 ve 2017 tarihleri arasında 177 adet satın alma işlemi incelenmiştir. Bu inceleme sonucunda Google Inc.’nin farklı teknolojik alanlarda üretim yapan işletmeleri satın aldığı fakat bu satın almalar sonucunda esas faaliyet alanında elde ettiği gelirleri artıracak yeteneklere sahip olduğu görülmektedir. Sonuç olarak, seçilen Google örneğinde 177 satın alma arasında “kısıtlı ilişkili çeşitlendirme” modeli, temel işin performansını arttırmaya yönelik en sık gözlenen strateji olarak belirlenmiştir.
