Corporate governance and firm performance in emerging markets: Evidence from Turkey
(Elsevier, 2019) Çiftçi, İlhan; Tatoğlu, Ekrem; Wood, Geoffrey; Demirbağ, Mehmet; Zaim, Selim; Tatoğlu, Ekrem; Zaim, Selim; Yönetim Bilimleri Fakültesi, İşletme Bölümü
This is a study of the relationship between context, internal corporate governance and firm performance, looking at the case of Turkey, an exemplar of family capitalism. We found more concentrated ownership, often in the hands of families, led to firms performing better; concentrated ownership means that controlling families bear more of the risks of poor performance. Less predictably, given that the institutional environment is so well attuned to family ownership, we found that mechanisms that accord room for a greater range of voices and interests within and beyond families – larger boards and foreign ownership stakes – seem to also make for positive performance effects. We also noted that increase in cross ownership did not influence market performance, but was negatively associated with accounting performance. Conversely, we found that a higher proportion of family members on boards had no discernable effect on performance. Our findings provide further insights on the relationship between the type of institutions encountered in many emerging markets, internal corporate governance configurations and firm performance.
Board composition, family ownership, institutional distance and the foreign equity ownership strategies of Turkish MNEs
(Elsevier, 2018) İlhan-Nas, Tülay; Okan, Tarhan; Tatoğlu, Ekrem; Demirbağ, Mehmet; Wood, Geoffrey; Glaister, Keith W.; Tatoğlu, Ekrem; Yönetim Bilimleri Fakültesi, İşletme Bölümü
In much of the developing world, families represent the dominant form of firm ownership. This study investigates how this influences equity ownership strategies when firms venture abroad. Drawing on agency theory and institutional theory, we investigate the direct effect of board composition and family ownership on the equity-based ownership strategies of multinational enterprises (MNEs) in their affiliates, and how institutional distance may moderate this. Examining foreign affiliates of listed Turkish MNEs, we find that a high ratio of independent directors is negatively linked to levels of equity ownership of MNE affiliates. We also find that a high ratio of inside directors on the board is positively associated with the equity stake of MNEs in their affiliates. The significant interaction effect between board composition, family ownership and institutional distance helps explain the unexpectedly weak effects of institutional distance.
Brand management practices in emerging country firms - exploring the patterns of variation and its impact on firm performance
(Nomos Verlagsgesellschaft, 2018) Tatoğlu, Ekrem; Sahadev, Sunil; Demirbağ, Mehmet; Tatoğlu, Ekrem; Yönetim Bilimleri Fakültesi, İşletme Bölümü
Firms in emerging countries often face different sets of challenges in developing their brand management strategies. Drawing on the dynamic capabilities view, the present study examines brand management practices among firms in an emerging country. Drawing on a survey of 224 firms in Turkey, the study first aims to segment firms in terms of their adoption level of brand management practices and then relate them to their overall firm and brand performances. A three-cluster solution emerging from a K-means cluster analysis reveals that firms show significant differences with respect to both performance dimensions. The findings of the study also provide evidence to the view that brand management practices add to the dynamic capabilities of emerging country firms. Finally, the study concludes with practical implications and avenues for future research.
The effects of ownership concentration and institutional distance on the foreign entry ownership strategy of Turkish MNEs
(Elsevier, 2018) İlhan-Nas, Tülay; Okan, Tarhan; Tatoğlu, Ekrem; Demirbağ, Mehmet; Glaister, Keith W.; Tatoğlu, Ekrem; Yönetim Bilimleri Fakültesi, İşletme Bölümü
We investigate how ownership concentration and institutional distance both directly influence the equity-based ownership strategies of a sample of Turkish MNEs, and also how institutional differences moderate the link between ownership concentration and the equity-based ownership strategies of these firms. The findings suggest that neither ownership concentration nor institutional distance significantly affects the level of equity ownership. Although institutional distance variables have no direct effects on equity ownership, they tend to moderate the relationships between the ownership concentration and foreign equity ownership strategy of Turkish MNEs. In particular, we provide evidence that the regulative and normative dimensions of institutional distance affect the strength of the relationships between equity ownership strategy of MNEs and ownership concentration more so than the cognitive dimension of institutional distance.
Turkish multinationals: Market entry and post-acquisition strategy
(Plagrave Macmillan, 2018) Ayden, Yüksel; Demirbağ, Mehmet; Tatoğlu, Ekrem; Tatoğlu, Ekrem; Yönetim Bilimleri Fakültesi, İşletme Bölümü
This book explores the internationalization of Turkish multinationals by examining a set of firms from various industries and providing eleven detailed case studies. The authors aim to discover the reasons behind the drive for internationalization within the firms, and how their internationalization processes work. By focusing on a medium-sized emerging country, which is strategically located at the intersection of European, Asian and African markets, Turkish Multinationals provide a significant contribution to research on multinational firms in emerging countries. Topics discussed include: strategic motives for and drivers of internationalization at multiple levels (firm, industry and institutional); the location, ownership and entry modes of multinational firms; and their market entry and post-acquisition strategies, which are critical to the evolution of the internationalization process. This innovative book will offer an alternative perspective to current debate on emerging markets, and will be of great interest to both academics of global strategy and international business, and policy-makers.
Countering uncertainty: High-commitment work systems, performance, burnout and wellbeing in Malaysia
(Routledge, 2020) Wahab, Mastura Ab.; Tatoğlu, Ekrem; Glaister, Alison J.; Demirbağ, Mehmet; Tatoğlu, Ekrem; Yönetim Bilimleri Fakültesi, İşletme Bölümü
This study examines the effect of high-commitment work systems on firm performance, employee burnout and wellbeing, and the mediating role of organisation support and employee effort in Malaysia. Through a survey of 215 employees working in manufacturing firms, the results show that high-commitment work systems have a significant positive direct impact on firm performance and a significant negative effect on employee burnout, yet no significant positive effect on employee wellbeing. Organisation support partially mediates the effect of high-commitment work systems on burnout. Both employee effort and organisation support fully mediate the effect of high-commitment work systems on wellbeing. The paper contributes to an understanding of how high-commitment work systems increase performance and highlights the centrality of organisation support in the context of low-skill, highly intense production work.
Why do emerging market firms engage in voluntary environmental management practices? A strategic choice perspective
(Wiley, 2020) Tatoğlu, Ekrem; Frynas, Jedrzej George; Bayraktar, Erkan; Demirbağ, Mehmet; Sahadev, Sunil; Doh, Jonathan; Koh, S. C. Lenny; Tatoğlu, Ekrem; Yönetim Bilimleri Fakültesi, İşletme Bölümü
In this paper, we investigate firms’ decisions to engage in voluntary environmental management (VEM) practices within an emerging market context. Drawing on the strategic choice and the resource-based view perspectives, we report results from a survey of VEM practices – a specific form of self-governance – drawing on a sample of 519 Turkish firms from various industries to identify important strategic antecedents of firms’ decisions to engage in such practices. We find that as firms become more customer focused, more inclined to pursue a differentiation strategy and subject to a higher level of strategy-oriented stakeholder focus, they tend to implement higher levels of VEMpractices, with important implications for research, policy and practice for both emerging and developed markets.
Exploring the internationalization strategies of Turkish Multinationals: A multi-perspective analysis
(Elsevier, 2021) Ayden, Yüksel; Tatoğlu, Ekrem; Glaister, Keith W.; Demirbağ, Mehmet; Tatoğlu, Ekrem; Yönetim Bilimleri Fakültesi, İşletme Bölümü
Drawing on a multi-perspective framework integrating the dynamic capabilities view, the resource- based view, and the industry-based view, we study the internationalization process of emerging country multinational enterprises (EC MNEs). A multiple-case study research method was adopted to explore the internationalization strategies of a set of EC MNEs from Turkey with a specific focus on the enabling role of dynamic capabilities (i.e., sensing, seizing, reconfiguring) in their international expansion. The findings identify four non-mutually exclusive internationalization strategies (infiltration, catch-up, extender, and challenger), representing trajectories that EC MNEs pursue to expand their foreign operations. We contribute to research on the internationalization of EC MNEs by illustrating and comparing the variations in respect to their strategic behaviors.
HRM and performance the role of talent management as a transmission mechanism in an emerging market context
(Wiley, 2018) Glaister, Alison J.; Karaçay, Gaye; Demirbağ, Mehmet; Tatoğlu, Ekrem; Tatoğlu, Ekrem; Yönetim Bilimleri Fakültesi, İşletme Bölümü
This paper investigates the link between HRM practices, talent management (TM), and firm performance and examines the role of HRM/business strategy alignment in an emerging market context. Through survey evidence gathered from 198 respondent firms, this study shows that TM, when focused on a series of practices aimed at developing workforce networks and social capital, is a key transmission mechanism mediating the relationship between HRM and firm performance. HRM strategy and business strategy alignment increases these performance impacts but is not an essential component in the HRM-TM-performance link.
Building higher value-added firm practices in challenging contexts: Formal networks and talent management in Turkey
(SAGE Publications, 2024) Demirbağ, Mehmet; Tatoğlu, Ekrem; Wood, Geoffrey; Glaister, Alison J.; Zaim, Selim; Nair, Smitha R.; Tatoğlu, Ekrem; Zaim, Selim; Yönetim Bilimleri Fakültesi, İşletme Bölümü
Where do high-impact human resources management practices thrive, and how do they make a difference in environments with limited institutional support? This study delves into the realm of talent management (TM) in Turkey, where institutional coverage is incomplete and unstable. Drawing on survey data, we explore the conditions under which TM succeeds, supplementing previous research on internal networks by examining the impact of external networks that encompass the entire firm. We find that when firms have closer ties with customers, suppliers and competitors (and hence, the basis for formal network tie building), TM is more prevalent and more likely to be successful. While conventional wisdom in comparative institutional literature suggests that such dense ties might be less effective in emerging markets owing to the absence of advanced complementarities found in mature economies, our study challenges these assumptions. In the eyes of managers, TM is not merely a tool to overcome disadvantages; it is perceived as a source of opportunities. This prompts a critical question: what specific advantages does the emerging economy system confer on firms embracing TM? Our study seeks to unravel these dynamics and contribute to a deeper understanding of the interplay between institutional contexts and TM.
