Abstract
As multi-channel television gained popularity in Turkiye, Turkish soap operas began to attract international audiences. Their success in international trade and rising prominence in the global television market have significantly boosted Turkey’s service exports and strengthened its global image. In 2023, the country became the third largest exporter of television soap operas in the world, with exports reaching around $600 million, behind only the U.S. and the U.K. This study offers a comprehensive perspective on the internationalization process of Turkish soap operas. The study employed an interpretative paradigm, utilizing semi‐structured interviews and content analysis of pertinent literature. A gradual internationalization process model for Turkish soap operas is proposed, highlighting key industry dynamics. © 2024, Rutgers Business School. All rights reserved.
