Özet

Yeni IT-destekli ağ pazarlamasında rekabet giderek globalleşmekte ve müşterilerin ihtiyaç ve beklentileri hızla değişmektedir. Pazar bilgilerine erişilebilirliğin artması ile hem alıcılar hem de satıcılar için web üzerinden rakip ürün ve hizmetlerin kalitesi ve fiyatı hakkında bilgilere ulaşmak kolaylaşmıştır. Bu durum, küresel olarak rekabet edebilmek için hem maliyet etkin hem de farklılaştırılmış bir şekilde rekabet etmeyi gerekli kılmaktadır. Bu çalışmada, rekabet güçleri ve bu güçlerle başa çıkabilmek için uygulanan rekabet stratejileri detaylı olarak açıklanmakta ve ayrıca İnternetin ve küresel rekabetin işletmelerin strateji seçimlerindeki artan etkisi tartışılmaktadır. Bu çalışmada, “Ortada Takılı Kalma”nın IT-destekli ağ pazarlamasında bir tehlike oluşturmadığı ve küresel rekabette başarılı olmak için gerekli olduğu fikri desteklenmektedir.
