“…In addition, there are more than 1000 domestic supplier automotive supplier industry organizations that meet the assembly part needs of the global main automotive companies. Among these, it is thought that around 250 -300 companies have reached a scale that can compete in the international market (Paker et al, 2018).…”

“…For the establishment of this industry with high economic returns and global product spread, the President of that period, Cemal Gursel, decided to design and manufacture products with state resources. This initiative, which was the first domestic automobile project, started at the state railway factory with a budget of 1.500.000 TL and a team of 20 people, was carried out in a six-month period on 29 October 1961 (Paker et al, 2018). The "Devrim" mark automobile project, which takes place as an initial initiative in the sector-specific historical development, was carried out by ignoring the necessary manufacturing factory establishment or mass production investments, after which 5 pieces remained at the prototype stage (Figure 6).…”

After the First World War, during the transitional period the Republic of Turkey from the Ottoman Empire, this qualitative research that sheds light on changes and variations were the focus of the industry, for the conservation and use of located original value in the historical development, it has been compiled with archival-tracer information. The Ottoman Empire, after the industrial revolution, these historical studies that discussed the effects of the touch industry has ceded to the Republic of Turkey, in the automotive assembly industry realized the product development and product design activities, with examples of significant diffraction in all, were transferred with qualitative data. The main objectives of the study are how and why the automotive industry, which was established before the world wars and restructured afterwards, came to life in the global context and the regional developments it showed. Therefore, in the coming days, the study was carried out in a narrow field in order to understand the global integrity where geographical regions converge, and the structure in which full integration has been completed in companies and organizations in the automotive industry. In this context, the geographical continent transition taking place among Turkey's automotive industry, within the limits of qualitative studies, creating a historical perspective, the region, released today stems from the importance of global integration centers. In this context, Turkey is located between geographic continent transitions to create operating limits of the automotive industry, the global integration of the indicator is due primarily to the fact that the reveal. The study evaluated two different development structures in the automotive industry: mass manufacturing and vehicle design, product development. Therefore, examining the development of the automotive assembly industry in the light of original product design studies, which constitute the basic requirement of mass manufacturing, strengthened the cause and effect flow. Under the new technology-oriented, original product design, the enhancement or sustainability of global competitiveness, regional mass manufacturing indus-How to cite this paper: Paker, F. A.

Turkey's automotive industry has begun to occur at a much earlier date compared to other developing countries, through licensing agreements to establish automotive industrial facilities, by importing a kind of technology.Attempts have been made in order to produce the domestic automobile road providing sectoral developments could enter another technology pathway. Moreover, the inventor of a very early date in the Fordist production system, such as 1929 by Ford Motor Company with the license agreement, as if he could provide for setting up production facilities in Istanbul's company, this bad experience has refrained for years from entering as a manufacturer Ford Motor Turkey market. Thus, while Turkey is an attractive market for car production, on the other hand, sufficient improvement over time in the production of trucks and other automotive products, such as buses has not been achieved. The 1929 experience seems to have been effective in terms of Turkey. Because, it was necessary to wait until 1971 for OYAK and TOFAŞ to establish automobile assembly facility with license agreements. With the start of production of two automotive industry facilities, there has been a significant increase in sectoral production figures, but this increase trend has not been sufficiently supported by the government through the incentive system and in the late 1970s the production of the automotive industry has declined. For the first time in 1961, efforts were made to produce a completely domestic automobile, although the prototype of the revolutionary car was successfully produced, mass production could not be started. Subsequently, the production of the Anadol automobile for the second time was tried by means of technology transfer from multiple sources and the serial production of this automobile continued for a while. However, since fiber glass bodywork was used instead of hair bodywork and export opportunities could not be found, production was stopped completely in the end of 1980s. In the 1980s, automobile production continued in two assembly plants and product diversification was carried out to increase the production volume. In the 1990s, three new assembly facilities, Honda, Toyota and Hyundai, were established and the number of assembly production facilities in the country increased to five and technology loyalty based on technology imports continued. Until 2014, the automotive industry continued to consist of five automobile assembly plants and other automotive products assembly plants. In 2015, it was announced to the public that a new domestic car prototype was produced. It was announced that the project will start mass production in 2019.However, it was determined that the prototype would be re-manufactured at the end of 2019 by making changes in the project and that it would be possible to start mass production in 2022. Thus, it is understood that the efforts to start mass production since 2015 can be concluded in 2022, i.e. 7 years after the first prototype was produced.

The impact of marketing capabilities (MC) on firm performance has been a popular research field in the strategy literature. Much research has shown that MCs are strongly related to company performance, and many firms try to build, maintain, and leverage MCs. In this study, we aim to explore the performance effect of different sub-dimensions of MCs, i.e. new product development, pricing, channel management, marketing research, marketing communication, and marketing strategy and implementation in the Turkish automotive industry. To address the study's aim, quantitative data collected from 163 managers from 53 companies in the automotive industry were analyzed by the regression method. Our findings indicate that marketing capabilities have a significant direct impact on firm performance. However, while the effects of pricing, marketing research, strategy and implementation were strong, the impact of other MC sub-dimensions, i.e., new product development, marketing communication, and channel management, were relatively weak in explaining firm performance. These results are linked with the economic policies of the Turkish government and the competitive strategy choices of Turkish firms, which generally opt for strategies that prioritize the cost and price concerns of business markets. The findings are elaborated on, and some implications are offered.
