The crucial role of innovation in improving or even maintaining the strategic position and competitive advantage of construction companies in a highly competitive industry is widely acknowledged. In this sense, construction companies are spending a substantial amount of money and time on innovation activities. However, an in-depth literature review showed that available innovation assessment frameworks are not capable of revealing the outputs of these investments and capturing the actual innovation performance of the companies. In this research, we developed the Innovation Catcher (IC) as an innovation performance assessment (IPA) framework for project-level IPA of the housing projects. Based on the findings from the literature, the dimensions of Innovation Radar that is a previously available model in the literature were modified for housing projects. An application of the IC has been demonstrated by a case study carried out in collaboration with a Turkish contractor. Seven semi-structured interviews were carried out with an expert to collect data. Based on the IC application, it was concluded that IC is capable of reflecting the actual innovation performance of the housing projects and can be used as supportive material in the documentation, and short-term and long-term decision-making processes.

A Case Study of the Mediating Role of Innovation on the Relationship Between Environmental Uncertainty, Market Orientation, and Firm Performance
UZKURT, CEVAHİR; KİMZAN, HALİL SEMİH; Yılmaz, Cengiz (World Scientific Pub Co Pte Lt, 2016-12-01)
In recent years, environmental uncertainty and market orientation have been considered key elements of superior firm performance. Although environmental uncertainty and market orientation may affect firm performance, innovation also mediates these effects. In this study, a conceptual model was developed to test the mediating effect of innovation on the relationships between these constructs. Data for the study were collected from Turkey's Top 500 Companies. Hierarchical regression and multiple regression an...
Development of an Assessment Model for Industry 4.0: Industry 4.0-MM
Gökalp, Ebru; Şener, Umut; Eren, Pekin Erhan (2017-10-05)
The application of new technologies in the manufacturing environment is ushering a new era referred to as the 4th industrial revolution, and this digital transformation appeals to companies due to various competitive advantages it provides. Accordingly, there is a fundamental need for assisting companies in the transition to Industry 4.0 technologies/practices, and guiding them for improving their capabilities in a standardized, objective, and repeatable way. Maturity Models (MMs) aim to assist organization...
The impact of ICTs-related innovation on public values in public sector
Karkın, Naci; Yavuz, Nilay; Sevinç, Ecem Buse; Gölükçetin, Ece (2018-06-01)
Public sector innovation presents an understudied field when compared to innovation in elsewhere. This void unprecedentedly grows when information and communication technologies (ICTs) are at stake. Though the presence of developments and studies are growing in recent years, there is still a continuing need to explore the notion of public values (PVs) in public administration in its possible extent. When taking ICTs as intermediary mechanisms, it is arguable that there is a void regarding the effects of pub...
IMPACT OF PATENT INCENTIVES ON INNOVATION PERFORMANCE OF TECHNOLOGY-BASED FIRMS: THE CASE OF METU TECHNOPARK
İÇİN, İREM; Erdil, Erkan; YALÇINER, UĞUR GÜRŞAD; Department of Science and Technology Policy Studies (2022-7-8)
Technoparks, as an area of innovation, are significant for the development of sustainability of the innovation of technology-based firms within it. Patents are the one of the factors that affect innovation performance of these firms. At this point, the main purpose of the thesis is revealing the actual impact of patent incentives on the innovation performance of technology-based firms. In order to measure the impact, the study field of the thesis is identified as the METU Technopark. The pioneering step of ...
AN ASSESSMENT OF LOCALIZATION POLICIES IN TURKEY: THE CASE OF MOBILE TELECOMMUNICATION SECTOR
Acar, Musa; Erdil, Erkan; Department of Science and Technology Policy Studies (2022-9)
The primary purpose of this thesis is to evaluate Turkey's innovation policies in the mobile telecommunications sector. A limited number of global companies produce mobile telecommunication technologies. These companies dominate the infrastructure market. Policymakers in Turkey have set domestic production in the electronic communications sector as a target in many strategy documents. ULAK company was established, and HTK, which hosts approximately 150 companies, has formed for production in the indus...
