This thesis aims identifying the sources of competitive advantage of the TUrkish clothing and cement industries with respect to the European Union following the methodology of the Diamond Framework, introduced by Porter (1990), which is based on the theory of competitive advantage. The methodology is modified in order to include the effects of Turkey's integration process to the European Union on the industries. Using this methodology, this study assesses the sources of competitive advantage of the Turkish clothing and cement industries by evaluating the industries' factor conditions, demand conditions, firm structure, strategy and rivalry and the role of the government and European integration process. the main idea of this study is that both industries take their advantage from basic factor conditions. While the role of Turkey's integration process to the EU is more effective on the clothing industry, it stays limited on the cement industry.
