Abstract
In today’s terms economic growth and competitiveness are based on
innovation increasingly. Innovation is considered as a fundamental component of the entrepreneurship and sustainable development. Countries need
innovative enterprises and also pioneer companies in this field for being
included to international race and attaining competitive advantage. These
companies have to apply right measurements and incentives, and have to
generate right attitude with right strategies both inside and outside the
company to make innovation is managed. For a healthy process of innovation management, it is very important to perform a serious planning and
implementation, to create awareness of innovation inside the company, to
bring innovation into the corporate culture and to measure the power of innovation at regular intervals in this process. In the principle of ‘You cannot
manage what you cannot measure’, with the data and feedback that obtain
through measurements, enterprises can determine their strengths and weaknesses in this field and they can provide continuity a successful innovation
process. In this study; innovation concept and its importance for enterprises
and companies, some of the innovation measurement models have been
emphasized, and Arthur D. Little’s innovation measurement models have
been analyzed, and one of them has been practiced in the agriculture and
food sectors in Salihli province. The findings have shown that, innovation
power of a company or enterprise is not influenced by the size of company,
the age of company, the field of activity or the company’s annual turnover.
As highlighted in the literature of the study, innovation is possible for every
business and enterprise with applying the right processes.

Abstract
Ekonomik büyüme ve rekabet edebilirlik günümüz şartlarında giderek
inovasyona dayanmaktadır. Uluslararası yarışa dahil olabilmek ve rekabet
gücünü elinde bulunduran bir düzeye ulaşabilmek için ülkelerin hem inovatif
girişimlere hem de bu konuda öncü şirketlere gereksinimi vardır. Bu şirketler
inovasyonu yönetilir kılabilmek için, doğru ölçümleri ve teşvikleri uygulamak,
hem içeride hem de dışarıda doğru stratejilerle doğru davranışı üretebilmek,
ve bu süreç için etkili bir metodoloji geliştirmek zorundadırlar. Sağlıklı bir
inovasyon yönetim süreci için, işletmelerin ciddi bir planlama ve uygu¬lama
gerçekleştirmeleri, işletme içerisinde inovasyon farkındalığı yaratıp, inovasyonu
kurum kültürü haline getirebilmeleri ve bu süreçte inovasyon güç-
lerini düzenli aralıklarla ölçmeleri oldukça önemlidir. “Ölçemediğiniz şeyi
yönetemezsiniz, geliştiremezsiniz” ilkesi doğrultusunda, yapılan bu ölçümler
sayesinde elde edilecek veriler ve geri bildirimlerle, işletmeler bu alandaki
zayıf ve güçlü yönlerini tespit edebilir, başarılı bir inovasyon sürecinin sü-
rekliliğini sağlayabilirler. İşletmelerde inovasyon gücünün ölçümlenmesinin
amaçlandığı bu çalısmanın ilk bölümünde; inovasyon kavramı, özellikleri,
çeşitleri ile bağlantılı olduğu kavram ve konuları; ikinci bölümünde dünyada
geliştirilmiş olan inovasyon ölçümüne yönelik yapılan çalışmalardan
bazıları; üçüncü bölümde ise dünyanın ilk yönetim danışmanlığı şirketi olan
Arthur D.Little ‘ın inovasyon Üstünlüğü ölçüm modeli ile incelenmiştir. En
son bölümde ise, Arthur D.Little’ın modeli Salihli ilçesinde tarım & gıda
sektöründe üretim faaliyetinde bulunan işletmelere uygulanmış, elde edilen
veriler analiz edilmiş, yorumlanmış ve önerilerde bulunulmuştur.
