This thesis was conducted in the scope of impact analysis of technology foresight intervention which was conducted to influence policies and decisions to benefit from sience and technology to create a knowledge society and innovative economy. The first objective is to assess the long-term ex-post impact of Vision 2023 technology foresight in defense sector. The second objective is the development of a model to assess the impact. An impact assessment scale was developed by implementing program-based theory and qualitative-quantitative analysis methods. The impact types of the scale are; Influencing, Awareness Raising and Informing, Enabling, Cooperation between Government-University-Industry, and Foresight Culture. “Influencing” has the highest weighting score. The total impact level is measured as “Some Contribution” with 3.04 out of 5.0 score. Selection and approval of research and development projects were influenced by the foresight program. Some cultural impact and awareness increase on science technology and innovation, and foresight are achieved. The technology foresight had some contribution to the increase of long-term planning activities, development and use of technology taxonomies, the increase in use of foresight techniques. Establishment of a high rank committee as the sponsor of the foresight, and assignment of Undersecretariat for Defense Industry for the success of technology foresight are recommended to overcome the lack of ownership, commitment, and monitoring and evaluation of technology foresight. An impact assessment model is developed based on Capability Maturity Model for Integration at macro level. The staged process improvement principles, and process area approach are benefitted in the development of the model.

Mediated Effects of Technology Competencies and Experiences on Relations among Attitudes Towards Technology Use, Technology Ownership, and Self Efficacy about Technological Pedagogical Content Knowledge Yerdelen-Damar, Sevda; Boz, Yezdan; Aydin-Gunbatar, Sevgi (2017-08-01) This study examined the relations of preservice science teachers' attitudes towards technology use, technology ownership, technology competencies, and experiences to their self-efficacy beliefs about technological pedagogical content knowledge (TPACK). The present study also investigated interrelations among preservice teachers' attitudes towards technology use, technology ownership, technology competencies, and experiences. The participants of study were 665 elementary preservice science teachers (467 fema...
Military innovation critical and dual use technologies Yazan, Abdurrahman Mete; Durgut, Metin; Department of Science and Technology Policy Studies (2004) This thesis represents an attempt to explore critical issues in the national military literature and bring up findings for further studies by exploring military innovation,smart management of defense R&D, critical and dual-use technologies concepts in detail. The study has two main components. The first part provides a conceptual and theoretical framework to discuss and understand military innovation, critical technology and dual-use technology. A military that fails to innovate when their contemporaries ar...
Emergence of research and innovation activities in the chemical industry at the beginning of the twentieth century: the case of IG Farben and Du Pont Doğan, Muhsin; Akçomak, İbrahim Semih; Department of Science and Technology Policy Studies (2018) In the 19th Century, after constant investments by governments and private sector to Chemical industry, Germany and the USA rised in terms of technological leadership, technological infrastructure and human capital for a long period. In these countries, there had been their own unique National Systems of Innovation. Thanks to this process, two giant chemical firms – IG Farben in Germany and DuPont in the US have come to existence. Each of these firms had successful innovation paths throughout their history....
International neoliberal development regime and regional development banks (African Development Bank, Asian Development Bank and Inter-American Development Bank) Hecan, Mehmet; Tayfur, Mehmet Fatih; Department of International Relations (2017) This thesis aims to illuminate regional development banks’ (RDBs) role in global diffusion of neoliberal policies since the early 1980’s. In this regard, it argues that along with the Bretton Woods Institutions (BWIs), the RDBs have also facilitated the spread of neoliberal policies, as these banks have practiced similar conditional/policy-based lending. In order to better explain the complementary roles of BWIs and RDBs within an analytical framework, the thesis employs the international relations (IR) con...
