Abstract

The chapter delves into the political and economic factors that shaped the board of directors of Turkish Airlines from 1956 to 2020. It examines how environmental changes, including coups d'état and government policies, influenced the composition of the board. The study employs resource dependence theory to analyze the strategic management of board members, highlighting periods of militarization, demilitarization, and politicization. The detailed analysis offers insights into how Turkish Airlines adapted to its environment, reflecting the broader political and economic context of Turkey.
