Abstract

The Defence and Aviation Industry (DAI) is one of the critical sectors where the world's most significant technological advances are experienced. According to a report prepared by Deloitte entitled 2020 global aerospace and defence industry outlook, military expenditures are rising as security threats continue to intensify worldwide. In addition, technological developments and innovation continually shape the DAI. Today, innovation management is again at the forefront of the global rivalry reshaping the international security environment. In this context, Türkiye's recent defence industry investments have become a significant issue that should be analysed regarding innovation management. This article aims to provide factual information regarding the implementation of an innovation management system in the companies affiliated with the OSTIM Defence and Aviation Cluster and to investigate the organisational capabilities of these companies' compliance with ISO 56002 standards on innovation management.
