To be strategic or not to be strategic for the energy investments: That is the question

Abstract

This study tries to handle the energy issue with an encompassing managerial approach with a broader perspective. In the study, which aims to contribute to the evaluation of the subject from the perspective of entrepreneurship and business administration, efforts are made to explain energy by using the basic principles/approaches that are significant in the business literature. Vital issues such as energy production and energy management are handled based on managerial discipline. It takes care to bring together many different approaches that can be associated with the subject, touching upon essential concerns such as consumption, market, and competition factors. Since the matter can differ in short and long-term outlooks, the concepts of energy and strategy are examined together. In this way, because it stands within the common field of many disciplines, it is desired to make a journey to energy not only with the perspective of the basic science but also through the viewpoint of the social sciences. And the connotations of the concept of energy are deepened.
