Abstract (Original Language): 
Bu çalışma, Lagos’da karşı karşıya faaliyet gösteren yabancı fast food restoranları ile Nijerya restoranlarının pazara yönelik stratejilerini analiz etmeyi amaçlamaktadır. Çalışmada yararlanılan anketlerde niceliksel yöntem kullanılmıştır. Elde edilen verilere eşleştirilmiş t-testi ve regresyon analizi uygulanmıştır. Çalışmadan elde edilen sonuçlara göre çevresel ve yönetimsel faktörler göz önüne alındığında Nijerya’da faaliyet gösteren yabancı fast food restoranları Nijerya restoranlarına oranla birimler arası çok daha organize olmuş bir yapıdadır. Çalışmadan elde edilen bir diğer sonuca göre pazara yönelik stratejiler ve birimler arası dinamikler bağlamında sadece çevresel faktörler belirleyici durumdadır. Çalışmadan elde edilen temel bulgulardan bir tanesi de pazara yönelik geliştirilen stratejiler iş performansını arttırmaktadır. Bu durumda fast food restoranları büyüme ve rekabet oranlarını arttırabilmek için pazara yönelik stratejiler geliştirmelidirler.
