5. Internal Ve External Dimensions of Corporate Governance: A Cluster Analysis in Logistics Enterprises

In recent years, corporate governance has come to the forefront in terms of sustainability of companies in a successful manner that respects the interests of all stakeholders. There are a number of important dimensions in corporate governance and these dimensions form the basis of corporate governance. The main motivation of this study is to determine the basic dimensions of corporate governance and to group them within themselves. For this purpose, nine different components of corporate governance have been identified. While some of these components are related with company employees, some others are related with stakeholder groups other than employees. In this study, it is sought to answer the questions of how many clusters of corporate governance dimensions divide within itself, which components are within the company and which components are directed towards the stakeholder groups of the company. For this purpose, an application has been carried out on logistics businesses. The data showed that the components of corporate governance were divided into two clusters. When the characteristics of governance components are examined, economic, legal, ethical and contractual internal governance; volunteerism, environmental, fairness, transparency and network dimensions are related to external governance. The findings provide guidance to researchers and professionals.
