Different means being located in process are appeared in front of us as an inevitable necessity due to increasing rivalry and ensuring continuity by enterprises. Even tough used means has a potential to find specific solutions, it is appeared that different structures are occurred to develop jointly competitiveness and competition strategy. Especially in sectors developing relations between buyer and supplier industries, submitting strategies by local enterprises comes into question, even though size values coming into prominence and as different local suppliers' structures connected centre-surrounding relationships. Since appearing clusters. on the one and different local clusters produce rivalry. On the other hand with moving together conscious they are trying to develop main industry relations. To become definite this process at first, rivalry must be known by checking for local enterprises and according as this information value their self structures must be exhibited. This paper is about the enterprises which are set in Konya and are original equipment manufacturers (OEM) in automotive supplier industry. In this paper 234 enterprises were considered which are registered in KOSGEB, KSO data bases and 68 of them were taken of a poll face to face. Defining the rivalry by enterprises, collaborator behavior forms as clusters and network relations evaluate characteristics were tried to measure with evaluated survey data. Eventually, cluster structure was found in the defined area but it can be seen this does not has an expected internal value, not struggling enough to set network relations and they could not be effective to perceive rivalry in the area.
