Business interruptions may result in serious losses for businesses in customer, market share, profitability, brand value and competitiveness areas. Business Continuity Management (BCM) is a set of activities aiming recovery by maintaining critical business processes in case of interruption in a projected time. Business Continuity Management System (BCMS) should be implemented integratedly with the general management strategies of businesses. In this research, the relationships between strategic orientations of businesses and effective fulfillment of business continuity management liabilities in businesses, were examined. Data were acquired by performing face-to-face surveys with managers in the businesses handled in the research and the relationships were analyzed using the Spearman's rho correlation test. According to the analysis results; there is a “positive and very weak relationship” between the strategic orientations chosen by these businesses at the functional level and their BCM behaviors. Among different orientations, businesses mostly choose to be market-oriented; however, they regard using all orientations together. It can be recommended that effective BCM liabilities are fulfilled integratedly with business strategies rather than as independent processes. Participation and support of organization’s top management in the BCM processes are important.
