Abstract: This thesis empirically investigates twenty five important factors for computer selection criteria in the market place of North Cyprus. 150 respondents, living in different districts of North Cyprus participated in this survey. The three approaches; Means,Independent Samples Test, one-way ANOVA were used to conduct, investigate and compare the selection criteria. The results of descriptive statistics show that the technology development, warranty offered, safety future, style and high resolution are most important factors in computer selection criteria. The results based on independent sample t-test show that almost all of the factors carry the weight for male and female customers on their computers selection criteria except “Its value for money”. It is found that “Its value for money” is more important parameter for male on their selection in comparison with females. The results based on age also reveal that “Its style/look” is statistically different among various age groups of respondents on their computers selection criteria. Furthermore, two factors namely, “Its last released product is preferable” and “Its set is cheaper” have statistically significant difference among various job statuses of respondents on their computer selection criteria. …………………………………………………………………………… ÖZ: Bu tez bilgisayar piyasasındaki satın alma faktörlerini kullanarak Kuzey Kıbrıs’daki yerel piyasayı ampirik olarak inceler. Bilgisayar Piyasasında 150 kişiyi hedef alınmıştır. Ortalam değerler, bağımsız örneklem t-değerleri ve tek yönlü ANOVA analizi kullanılarak bu faktörlerin burada yaşayan kişiler üzerindeki etkisi mukayese edilmiştir. Tanımlayıcı bilgiler gösteriyor ki teknolojik gelişim, garanti belgesi, emniyet belgesi, sitil ve yüksek çözünülürlük bilgisayar satın almada en önemli faktörlerdir. Bağımsız örneklem t sonuçları fiyat uygunluğu, kolay kullanım, ucuz servis üçretleri indirimli paket satışları, arkadaş tavsiyeleri ve malın parasal değeri kriterleri en önemli farklılıklar olduğunu göstermektedir. Diğer faktörlerin ise farklılık yaratmadığı ampirik olarak ortaya konulmaktadır. Yaş üzerinden yapılan analizlerde tam olarak etkileyen faktörler ise ürün görüntüsü, piyasaya sürülen son ürünler, ve ürünün fiyat’ının ucuzluğu etkisi olarak tespit ediliyor. Bu sonuçlara ilaveten, Diğer ilgili faktörlerin çok farklılık yaratmadığı ampirik olarak belirtilmiştir.
