...and from major global brands in the export arena, Arcelik embraced change so that it can respond quickly to market requirements for new and innovative products, better value, and enhanced customer service. To meet its competitor’s acquisition strategy, Arcelik looked to acquire foreign brands as well. The first big success for Arcelik was to establish the Beko brand of white goods and TV sets in the UK at the beginning of 1990s, extended to France, Germany, and Spain. By the late 1990s, the company had set up sales offices in France, Germany and the UK and identified specific strategies to enter each market. The 2000s saw the flowering of Arcelik’s internationalization strategy, aimed to expand its brand portfolio, market penetration and product mix in Europe. Building on the experience acquired while bidding unsuccessfully for Brandt, Arcelik made major purchases of brands in 2002 – Blomberg (a subsidiary of Brandt) in Germany, Elektra Bregenz and Tirolia in Austria, and Leisure (cookers) and Flavel (appliances and TV sets) in Britain. In 2004 Arcelik acquired the brand name Grundig, after the German firm went bankrupt. In Romania, Arcelik acquired Arctic; it immediately invested to modernize the company’s operations and doubled its productive capacity. Arctic made washing machines and ranges as well as TV sets; it now has 50% domestic market share in refrigerators and exports close to 40% of its output. In June 2005 Arcelik launched the construction of a refrigerator and...

...Holding: Arcelik White Goods Group: 10B The International Expansion of Arcelik started in 1980s and the export department was established. With the reduction in tariffs on trade between Turkey and The European Community, the interest in exports increased significantly. After the study of the market reach, Arcelik decided upon Western Europe as being the most appropriate to start international business. An added dimension was to learn from a healthy competition from the joint venture of the German giants Bosch & Siemens. Since the Turkish Government has already reduced the import tariff interest to nil, Arcelik’s domestic market was vulnerable to competition from Bosch & Siemens-the largest household appliance makers in Western Europe and Germany. Arcelik’s most successful European market-United Kingdom- was established in 1989. This was chosen keeping in mind that UK was a price sensitive market with no domestic domination, thus empowering Arcelik with the opportunity to capture market share through volatile consumer purchasing power. The lack of domestic brand dominance provided a chance for Arcelik to establish customer-base and loyalty by providing good quality appliances at cheaper prices. Two-thirds of the refrigerator sales attributed to table-top refrigerators. The retail prices (including taxes) for these were £150, and on sales in 1997 of approximately 200,000 units would yield revenue around 30mn. After an expenditure on advertising 0.6mn, Arcelik is expected...

...objective of duplicating its success in Turkey at the global scale. Consumer Durables Developments in the durable consumer goods sector In 2014, the white goods market is estimated to have grown 2.4% and the LCD TV market by 1.6% worldwide over the prior year. The European white goods market, one of Arceliks main markets, expanded about 4% over the previous year. While the growth in the Western European market neared 4%, the Eastern European market grew 5.6% due to rapid market growth across the region during the last quarter. In the Middle East and North Africa, upheavals across the region have created significant pressure on the markets. The white goods market contracted over 10% in Egypt, and by nearly 3% in South Africa, the largest and most developed economy on that continent. Turkey remained the largest production hub in Europe for the white goods sector. According to data by the Turkish White Good Manufacturers Association (BESD), exports in the white goods grew 5% year-over-year to 16.9 million units as of end-2014, while the domestic market shrank 1.8% to 6.7 million units.

İşletmede bir ürünün hammadde aşamasından fabrikadan ayrılana kadar geçirdiği işlemleri gösteren bir süreç diyagramı hazırladım. Bu araştırmalarla birlikte işletme işleyişinin kavranması ve analizinde endüstri mühendisliği bakış açısını görmeyi amaçladım. 1.KURULUŞA AİT GENEL BİLGİLER 1.1 Adı Arçelik A.Ş. Ankara Bulaşık Makinesi İşletmesi 1.2 Kuruluş Tarihi Ocak 1992 yılında proje çalışmalarına başlanan Ankara Bulaşık Marinası İşletmesinin temeli, 22.09.1992 tarihinde atılmıştır. İşletme 1 yıldan daha az sürede imalata başlayarak 15.09.1993 tarihinde montaj bandında ilk deneme üretiminden sonra Çayırova işletmesinde bulunan Bulaşık Makinesi ile ilgili teçhizatın da Ankara işletmesine transfer edilmesi ile birlikte 20.10.1993 tarihinde seri üretime başlamıştır.

...Koç Holding: Arçelik White Goods (Case No. 2) I. Problem statement: How much KOC Holding emphasis should place on international sales & which geographical markets to concentrate on; II. Alternatives: • Status Quo. Do not do anything. • Building technological capabilities and organizational adaptation . • Developing international marketing capabilities and distribution networks. III. Analysis: 1. Status Quo. Do not do anything different. If nothing is done, the company would be subject to many geopolitical & macro economic challenges that were facing Turkey. From the case study, it was stated that the Turkish government had agreed to a phased program of tariff reductions with the European Community. Turkish tariffs on imports from the EC, which ranged between 40% and 55%, would be reduced to zero between 1992 and January 1996 . As a result, exports into Turkey of Western European appliances would become progressively more price competitive and possibly challenge Arçelik’s dominance of the Turkish market. Moreover, the company was subject to a fierce competition from Arçelik’s principal white goods competitor Peg Profilo. The Peg Profilo had been sold to Bosch-Siemens of Germany in 1995, thus, Arcelik dominance of the premium end of white goods market was being challenged by an aggressive international advertising and presence. From reading, there was some evidence of strained relations as Bosch-Siemens tried to impose formal contracts on dealers used to...

...implementation upon evaluation of the driving factors and available options. Asset-Exploitation and Asset-Seeking There are various modes to engage in international business activities with exporting with the lowest risk to direct foreign investment on the other end of the spectrum. According to the conceptual framework by Dunning (1981, 1988), a company chooses among three modes of internationalization (exporting, licensing and FDI) on the basis of three different but interrelated advantages (ownership, location and internationalization). While in accordance to the Uppsala model, internationalization is incremental, sequential and learning based, occurring in stages, based on cumulative market knowledge and commitment (Erdilek 2008), Arcelik has the capability to operate in volatile and turbulent environments, giving a competitive advantage to adapt and survive. At the same time, Mathews (2006) spearheaded another perspective of ‘asset seeking’ and developed the “resource linkage, leverage, and...
