This study investigates the patterns of innovation in Turkey and its primary aim is to examine the intra – industry heterogeneity in innovative activities. For this purpose double - level factor analysis is performed and resulting factor scores are used in the subsequent cluster analyses. Four distinct innovation patterns, which may be interpreted as ingredients of different technological regimes, are identified. Taxonomy of innovative firms is also constructed by grouping firms according to their innovation characteristics and to our knowledge this is the first empirical classification study in Turkey. Our results indicate that industries differ in terms of innovative activities. However industries are not dominated by a single technological regime. On the contrary five technological regimes were observed in almost all sectors. Building upon these facts, it can be speculated that sector specific conditions determine the extent of intra – industry heterogeneity.

Innovation patterns in firms and intra-industry heterogeneity empirical evidence from Turkey Yurtseven, Alp Eren; Pamukcu, Mehmet Teoman (2022-03-01) This paper aims to explore sector-level sources of intra-industry heterogeneity of innovation patterns among Turkish firms. We constructed a taxonomy of innovative firms and explored the different modes of innovation. We then analyzed the sector-level determinants of intra-industry heterogeneity. Analysis results indicate that groups of firms within the same sector that display distinct innovation characteristics and firm's resource position, knowledge base, and cooperation behavior have a bearing on firms'...
Technological innovation activities in Turkey: the case of manufacturing industry, 1995-1997 Uzun, A (2001-03-01) This paper is based on the initial findings of a nation-wide survey of technological innovation activities of 2100 firms in Turkish manufacturing industry. Our findings show that the innovation activities are more widespread in the firms having large sizes of employment. In some sectors of manufacturing industry 60-80% of the firms undertake innovation activities. Improving the product quality and opening up new markets rank at the top of the main objectives of innovation activities. In-house R&D turn out t...
Relationship between social capital, information sharing, organizational ambidexterity and firm performance in technology parks Keskin, Fatma Feyza; Wasti Pamuksuz, Syeda Nazlı; Department of Business Administration (2018) The main purpose of this thesis is to investigate the link between social capital, information sharing, ambidexterity, and firm performance in technopark firms in Turkey. To that end, the bilateral relations and serial mediation effects of these concepts were probed. Data was gathered through surveys from three technoparks in Ankara. Survey results of 87 firms were analyzed using serial and combined (serial and parallel) mediation analyses. According to the results, higher social capital among technopark fi...
Cohesion and Competition of Europe: Innovation Policy from the Perspective of Networks and Entropy ÇETİNKAYA, Umut Yilmaz; Erdil, Erkan (2016-01-01) This study analyzes the innovation performance of the European Union in the context of the European Research Area (ERA). Literature related to the Systems of Innovation, network studies, Framework Programs and the European Research Area will be used to establish a theoretical framework for policy analysis. It forms a database from three different resources to establish a European Research and Innovation Network, which appears as a result of policy and program implementation at the European level. The evalua...
The presentation of industrial design in the popular media: a research study on popular home style magazines in the post-1980 period in Turkey Tanglay, Özgün; Erzen, Jale Adile; Department of History of Architecture (2007) This study aims to analyze how industrial design as a profession and discipline has been presented to the public in Turkey. The object of the study is constituted by the popular home style magazines which increased rapidly in number through the dynamics of the post-1980 period. These publications have been inspected in the scope of the research and their in constructing and shaping public awareness about design culture has been the focus of the study. The main theme of the thesis is focused on the analysis ...
