“…Contrary to our expectations, we did not find evidence for H2 in which the moderating role of ED on the MC-firm performance relationship was tested. One explanation for this unexpected finding is that the Turkish automotive industry suffers from the heaviest industry-specific tax burden globally, enacted by the Turkish Government (Go ¨nu ¨l et al, 2021). Additionally, Turkey's economic and human development indicators have been worsening over the past 10 years, and this situation made the business environment more brutal in Turkey.…”

Purpose This study aims to explore the roles and relations of dynamic capabilities (DCs) and marketing capabilities (MCs) to generate firm performance through new empirical data from the automotive industry in an emerging market, Turkey, where volatile market conditions may compel firms to use both their DCs and MCs. The automotive industry dynamic character, which is shaped by fierce competition among car manufacturers, fluctuating customer demands and strong effect of environmental forces, provides an ideal context for examining the performance outcomes of MC and DC in non-static environments. This study aims to show whether better financial performance can be achieved through an integrated MC and DC framework; if the level of environmental dynamism (ED) influences the utilization of MCs; and the impact of MC and DC convergence on firm performance by using emerging market data, which is rare in the extant literature. Design/methodology/approach This paper empirically investigates the role of MCs on the relationship between DCs and firm performance and the effect of ED in marketing capability development through a study of 162 top level managers from the automotive industry in Turkey using multiple regression methods. A self-administered questionnaire was used to collect data. A maximum concern was given to obtain at least three questionnaires from each firm to minimize the risk of getting biased answers from only one manager. Findings The data were analyzed by the regression method, and the mediation and moderation tests were conducted to test the established hypotheses. The direct relationship between MCs and firm performance was examined through linear regression, and a significant relationship was found (ß = 0.408; t = 5.656; p < 0.001). Pricing (ß = 0.404; p < 0.001), marketing research (ß = 0.367; p < 0.001) and marketing strategy and implementation (ß = 0.336; p < 0.001) had the strongest association with firm performance. The mediating role of MC on the relationship between DC and firm performance was assessed, and the analysis result yielded a significant result (ß = 0.439; t = 6.174; p < 0.001). Finally, the moderating effect of ED on the direct relationship between MC and firm performance was assessed. Yet, the interaction term was insignificant (ß = 0.013; t = 0.103; p = 0.918) in predicting firm performance. Research limitations/implications Although the data set covers a broad range of firms operating in the Turkish automotive industry, the generalization of findings should only be possible through obtaining fresh evidence from other emerging markets that possess the similar market characteristics of Turkey. The cross-sectional nature of the study may offer insights only for a certain period of time; thus, additional longitudinal studies are recommended to see the dynamic changes on the constructs and relationships between them. Future studies may also include qualitative methods, i.e. interviews with top managers to have a deeper understanding on how DC–MC interaction creates better performance. Practical implications This study empirically shows the importance of MCs for firm performance; thus, managers should allocate significant efforts and resources for improving MCs. The demand for the electric and even autonomous vehicles is likely to increase in the following years, and this new era in the automotive industry requires more R&D and innovation-based products, i.e. green vehicles with low carbon footprint, the use of robotics and long-life batteries for electric vehicles. The cost-related pricing may no longer be a competitive advantage for the firms in emerging markets such as Turkish automotive industry; thus, more investment for disruptive technologies should be considered. Originality/value The results show that MCs of firms mediated the relationship between DCs and economic performance. Yet, ED did not play a moderating role on the relationships between MCs and performance. It is concluded that DCs were associated with improved firm performance via MCs. Furthermore, the insignificant impact of ED on the development of MCs leading to better performance was explained by firms’ given over-performing efforts in the context of emerging markets.

“…Moreover, TOGG will have also produced five different models by 2030 (Invenstment Office, 2020). TOGG is a consortium consisting of four local companies (BMC, Zorlu, Anadolu Group, Kök Group) and TOBB (the Union of Chambers and Commodity Exchanges of Turkey) as a coordinator (Gönül et al, 2021). Long before the introduction of TEV, Aktan (2010) found that while perceived risks negatively affected the purchase intentions of a prospective local car brand, product image positively affected it.…”

“…However, petrol and diesel engine vehicles still have the highest shares in the market, while EV and HEV shares are summated by only 2,9% (Erce, 2020). One reason why the EVs are adopted in low shares is the non-homogenous spread of EV charging stations in Turkey (Gönül et al, 2021). In spite of this low share of EVs in Turkey, 30% of all passenger vehicles are estimated to be EVs in 2032 globally (Rietmann et al, 2020: 5).…”

This paper aims to assess the purchase intentions of forthcoming Turkish electric vehicle (TEV), in the context of consumer ethnocentrism and consumer innovativeness. Methodology: Multiple linear regression analysis was applied to data consisting of 303 observations acquired through a face-to-face survey along with the reliability and validity analyses of the utilized scales. Findings: Purchase intentions of TEV were found to be affected positively by consumer ethnocentrism and functional innovativeness, which is one of the four dimensions of consumer innovativeness. Practical Implications: We propose that the marketing management of TEV emphasizes the domestic origin of TEV in its national marketing program, and functional attributes be put forward over symbolic attributes to attract innovative consumers. Originality: In this paper, we empirically tested how consumer ethnocentrism and various motivations to adopt innovations can influence the purchase intentions of TEV.

“…The interest in electromobility was mainly due to (i) fossil fuel depletion and subsequent increases in fuel cost [3]; (ii) public awareness and the desire to fight climate change; (iii) the technological advances and commercial effectiveness of renewable energy technologies; (iv) advanced technology of the electric motor and its propulsion systems; and (v) advances in support infrastructure [4]. Many countries and companies have implemented policies and encouraged people to use EVs, and these have facilitated the dissemination and implementation of them in the society [5].…”

In order to gain a comprehensive view of electric vehicles (EVs) technologies and understand the emphasis of current research, this study evaluated the most relevant themes related to EVs through a bibliometric analysis using the keyword “electric vehicle” as the input. The Web of ScienceTM (WoS) database was used because it is considered ideal for bibliometric analysis. The VOSviewer software was adopted as a bibliometric analysis tool to visualize the networks of authors, countries, journals and keywords. The analysis carried out on 9 November 2021 retrieved a total of 29,304 documents in the period 2000 to 2021. The results show that in the last nine years the number of publications about EVs has grown significantly. The China is the leading nation in the field of EV research, contributing the largest number of publications in the world, with the main authors and research institutions involved. The journal Energies stands out as the main publishing periodical. Keyword analysis showed that studies on EVs in the last two decades have focused on themes related to energy management and storage, infrastructure and charging systems and environmental issues. The bibliometric analysis presented provides relevant information on the main themes studied about EVs and technological advances in development.
