Abstract

Purpose – The aim of
this study is to examine recent innovation performance of Turkey in comparison
to the European Union member states and hence to determine in which dimensions
Turkey lags behind the European Union countries.  

Methodology
In order to investigate Turkey’s innovation performance in comparison to
the European Union member states European Innovation Scoreboard 2016 is
descriptively analysed.    

Findings-According to
the results of the descriptive analysis, it is found that the innovation
performance of Turkey has generally improved in recent years. However, Turkey
falls behind the European Union countries in terms of a number of dimensions of
the innovation performance.  







Conclusion-Although
Turkey has improved its innovation performance recently it still lags behind
from the European Union countries with regard to the several dimensions of
innovation. Thus, the policies which help firms to increase their innovation
performance should be implemented in order to reach better outcomes in the
future.
