ABSTRACT
This chapter analyses the Turkish glass industry, construction industry, leather clothes industry, automobile industry and flat steel industry. It summarises the finalised assessments concerning the effects of the different parts of the diamond on the competitive advantage of all industries studied, as well as the key findings that do not comply with the framework. With regard to the factor conditions, the Turkish glass, construction and automobile industries confirm Michael Porter’s hypothesis. Turkey is a developing country with a large and rapidly growing population, meaning that many industries are far from being mature, or, at least, face a considerable potential increase in demand. The effects of chance events as a source of advantage for the Turkish glass and flat steel industries have been relatively limited, whereas the role they play in the case of the Turkish automobile industry is rather interesting.
