A Research on the Determinants of the Organizational Innovation of Turkish Firms

Innovation has an important role for the firms to sustain competitive advantage and survive in the market. One of the important subjects in the innovation types is organizational innovation. But as being very limited studies in international innovation literature on organizational innovation and being no research in national literature, it very hard to improve national innovation strategies. In this study in order to fill this gap, it is tried to find out the Turkish firms’ organizational innovation determinant by using the 2008 Innovation Questionnaire data collected by National Statistics Board. The findings implicated that the knowledge, cooperation, networking, and the market are the most important factors to affect the organizational innovation.
