Abstract

Acıbadem Healthcare Group is Turkey's only premium nationwide hospital network. This case focuses on Acıbadem’s potential expansion strategy after it was acquired by International Healthcare Holdings Berhad (IHH) in 2011, the world's second-largest publicly listed health care group and a private hospital leader in Singapore and Malaysia. By providing perspectives on both Acıbadem and IHH-Parkway-Pantai's operational models, growth aspirations, collaboration and synergies, as well as cultural and operational differences, the case allows students to discuss which expansion strategies would be best suited for Acıbadem's operations—which geographic regions should initially be targeted and what business model is best suited for Acıbadem’s growth (specialized chain, public-partnership, etc.). Students are encouraged to discuss how Acıbadem should leverage its relationship with IHH and collaborate with Parkway-Pantai.
