A Neglected Research Area: Internationalization of Turkish Firms via Outward Foreign Direct Investment

Bu makale Türk firmalarının yurtdışına doğrudan yatırım yoluyla uluslararasılaşma-sı konusunda bilimsel çalışma yokluğundan yola çıkarak bu konunun geniş kapsamlı olarak araştırılmasının, incelenmesinin ve değerlendirilmesinin gerektiğini belirtmektedir. Makale, dünya genelinde yurtdışına doğrudan yatırım faaliyetlerine genel bir bakış yapıp Türk firmalarının yurtdışına doğrudan yatırım yapmalarının çevresel faktörlerine (hükümet politikaları ve küreselleşmenin etkileri) değinerek, bunun sonucunda ortaya çıkan yatırımlarla ilgili bilimsel çalışma yapılması gereken alanları ve bir çok araştırma konusu önermektedir.
