Özet

Dünya genelinde süregelen ekonomik bütünleşme ve ülke ekonomilerinin her geçen gün birbirlerine daha bağımlı hale gelmesiyle, işletmeler diğer ülke pazarlarında bulunan fırsatlara ulaşma konusunda daha da istekli hale gelmeye başlamışlardır. İşletmelerin uluslararasılaşmasında ve diğer ülke pazarlarında uygulayacakları pazarlama stratejilerinin belirlenmesinde psikolojik mesafe önemli bir kavram olarak karşımıza çıkmaktadır. Bu çalışma kapsamında, psikolojik mesafe ile ürün stratejileri arasındaki ilişkinin ortaya çıkartılması amaçlanmaktadır. Bu amaçla bazı hipotezler geliştirilmiş ve test edilmiştir. Verilerin toplanmasında anket yönteminden yararlanılmıştır. Çalışmada kullanılan veriler, Türkiye’deki şekerli ve çikolatalı mamuller alanında ihracat yapmakta olan işletmelerden toplanmıştır. 164 işletme sahibi/yöneticisinden eksiksiz olarak cevap alınabilmiştir. Sonuç olarak, psikolojik mesafenin ürün stratejileri üzerinde etkili olduğu belirlenmiştir. Çalışmanın, psikolojik mesafe ile ürün stratejileri arasındaki ilişkiyi Türkiye örneği üzerinden ele almasından dolayı; literatüre önemli katkılar sağlayacağı düşünülmektedir
