This thesis aims to clarify the issue of local embeddedness with regard to TNCs
and to understand the process of TNCs&rsquo / local embeddedness in the Turkish
case. In order to reach this aim a methodology is utilized by combination of
qualitative and quantitative data analyses in different level analyses. Since,
embeddedness is a process that begins locational preferences of TNCs, the first
level analyses are concentrated on locational distribution on national and city
level analyses. Then, deep& / #8208 / interviews are held by TNCs in istanbul to identify
other qualitative variables affecting local embeddedness of TNCs. As a
conclusion, local embeddedness process of TNCs in Turkey is realized in a
slightly different path from developed countries. Some of the deficiencies in
Turkey, like strong institutional structure, are the main reasons for these
differences. To turn the situation for Turkey&rsquo / s advantage it is essential that
required conditions for local embeddedness should be supplied.
