Privatization in Turkey
Privatization; does it make any sense for every single country in the context of administrative and managerial? Can it be successful long-term enterprises or is it temporary solutions that getting worse in long-run concept? In this paper, I am going to present privatization in Turkey from the perspective of managerial enterprises focusing most important ones. It considers Privatization in Turkey and its effects on Turkish entrepreneurship and government as well as its economy, especially focuses on the last decade since Justice and Development Party became the government party taking the political power, but also having a look at overall view to the Turkish privatizations since World War II.
