ANALYSIS OF THE REGIONAL INNOVATION PERFORMANCE BY USING NORMALIZATION METHOD: TR1 (ISTANBUL) EXAMPLE

Today, economic decision-making units need resources that will provide and improve economical growth in order to increase social welfare and competition. Within the economical structure, these resources emerge with knowledge, technology and innovation. Particularly regional innovation systems play a central role in meeting the requirements for the resources needed for economic growth. For this reason, it is important to analyze the relationship of the innovation with the economic growth in the new world economy, where it appears like a production factor. In this study, the innovation performance capacity of the TR1 region has been investigated by using the normalization methods. In this framework, it is aimed to establish criteria that are comparable to the Level 1 averages of the regions in Turkey.
