One of the worldwide leading sectors with the highest R&D resources allocation is the defense industry, which has recently been growing rapidly in Turkey. R&D projects require investments and extra costs depending on the type of business. Therefore, companies feel obliged to track their R&D activities strictly by carrying out a series of controls and measurements so as to reach the desired objectives and avoid any financial loss. However, performance measurement of defense R&D activities differ from country to country since each country have their own unique defense industry laws and regulations, issues regarding defense industry call for confidentiality, and there is a lack of unanimously accepted source of reference in the field of defense R&D. This study deals with R&D performance measurement methods and metrics in Turkish defense industry. In two different focus group interviews, an answer was sought to the question of What should be the R&D and innovation vision of Turkish Defense Industry companies?. In this way, technology evaluation criteria were weighted, and technology areas were ranked. Thereafter, a two-round Delphi survey relating to 19 Delphi statements about defense industry was carried out. As a result of this process, D.14 statement of Domestic simulator systems and sub-systems are to be manufactured using virtual reality techniques to simulate critical cues provided by real platforms came to the forefront, and what should be done by public and private enterprise to realize the corresponding question of this Delphi statement – D.14.8 – asking The contribution of the issue mentioned in the Delphi statement to Turkey’s science, technology, and innovation capacity was identified as the roadmap through face-to-face interviews with relevant experts in the field.

A Life cycle assessment based decision support tool for early-design phase of mass-housing neighbourhoods in Turkey Kayaçetin, Nuri Cihan; Tanyer, Ali Murat; Department of Building Science in Architecture (2018) In developing countries such as Turkey, the main driving force of economy is the Architecture-Engineering-Construction (AEC) industry. Hence, rapid urban expansion dramatically increases the pressure on the existing infrastructure which affects buildings, public transportation and overall energy usage. In order to control urbanization, governments facilitate mass-housing projects in increasing numbers. Higher rates in construction require an immediate need for methods of assessing the environmental impacts ...
An applied endogenous growth model with human and knowledge capital accumulation for the Turkish economy Voyvoda, Ebru (2015-01-01) We analytically investigate and assess the interactions between knowledge-driven growth, acquisition of human capital, and the role of strategic public policy for the Turkish economy within the context of a general equilibrium model. The model aims to investigate the public policies toward fostering the development of human capital (such as investments in education and learning) and those at enhancing total factor productivity through investments in physical capital and innovation (such as subsidies to R&D)...
A Study on the price escalation system in public construction contracts in Turkey Ercan, Muhammed; Dikmen Toker, İrem; Birgönül, Mustafa Talat; Department of Civil Engineering (2017) The construction industry has a major role in the development of Turkish economy. The construction sector contributes 6-8 % of the gross domestic product of Turkey. At the same time, public investments comprise an important portion in the Turkish construction sector. Medium to large construction projects generally take over a year for completion and cost of materials and labor that are used as resources in construction projects often increase during implementation of construction projects. On the other hand...
Political Economy of Renewal of Heritage Places in Turkey Özçakır, Özgün; Bilgin Altınöz, Ayşe Güliz; Mignosa, Anna (2018-01-01) The construction industry has often been used to boost the economy in time of crises and constitutes one of the most important profit making sector in Turkey. As a result of the current economic growth model which focuses on construction activities, urban spaces have been subjected to uncontrollable pressure in Turkey. Hence, developing new construction land and increasing construction rights in existing settlement areas have become common among local and central authorities in the last years. As priceless ...
A risk management method for a Turkish defence industry firm Karadaş, Erhan; Onay, Lamia Zeynep; Department of Business Administration (2007) In this study, a risk management methodology for the business development phase of a Turkish defense industry firm’s projects is proposed. The proposed method is based on the contemporary risk management practices and offers the integration of risk management process on top of existing project management processes in the business development phase, besides being cost effective and applicable. The method suggests a format for a risk management plan with two new sections, results, and compliancy. Furthermore,...
