Efficiency in the services sectors is a significant issue in global business. As one of the major sectors in services industry, banks have the pioneering role in finance sector in Turkey as they have the same role in the world. With the effect of globalization, Turkey accepts considerable amount of foreign capital via its banking system from year to year. In banking system, it is thought that being under operation with a foreign capital structure together with the managerial skills makes an important effect fir the overall performance of the banks in comparative business environment. In the literature, it has been claimed that the banks operated with foreign capital are usually more successful than the ones which operated with domestic capital. The reason for this can be explained with global knowledge, having broader vision and using more different professional applications in banking operations. On the other hand, to be familiar with its society's culture and having more branches throughout the country can be the opportunities fir domestic banks. In this study, Turkish banks have been evaluated using their number of branches, number of staffs, total assets and total interest expenses as input variables and net profit fir the period as output variable. The banks have also been ranked according to their efficiency scores by years and than; these scores were grouped into two subgroups in order to be re-analyzed with statistical methods.
