KOBİ’lerde Düşük Katma Değer Üretiminin Nedenleri ve Stratejik Yönetimin Önemi

Abstract

This study focuses on the value added by SMEs in Turkey and underlying reasons for low added-value, such as low management capacity, low capacity utilization, low productivity, limited access to finance, low R & D investment, the use of inadequate information technology, and insufficient planning. Later, the relationship between these variables are explained on the Management-Capacity-Production Model for SMEs, and comparative statistics for each of these variables were discussed in order to shed a light on low addedvalue in SMEs in Turkey. The final section discusses the importance of strategic management in SMEs and the applicability of strategic management in SMEs. We suggest that the theoretical model proposed in the study is a potential testable model for future studies.
