Mesele Ekonomi Anlatıyor Focuses on Companies’ Asset Preferences
The third episode of the “Mesele Ekonomi Anlatıyor” series, prepared with the contributions of Hedef Filo, “How Do Largest Companies Spend Their Money?”, examines which assets the world’s most valuable companies prefer to own and which they prefer to lease.
The episode focuses on how companies such as Nvidia, Apple, Amazon, Google and Microsoft manage their capital. It explains that while these companies own areas such as design, brand, software, data and artificial intelligence that differentiate them from their competitors, they prefer leasing for heavy assets that tie up capital and lose value.
Through examples ranging from vehicle fleets to offices, the episode reveals that as money becomes more expensive, the cost of capital tied up in an asset also increases. It summarizes the approach of the world’s most valuable companies with the following thought: “Don’t own everything, own what sets you apart.”
