In today's world, for countries to be able to improve the level of their
development depends mainly on production and marketing of goods that are
high in competitiveness. The ability to produce high quality goods which
are more likely to survive in competitive structure of continuously
globalizing world and to be able to succeed requires to achieve more
innovative approaches in production. From governments to corporations,
products to services, production to sales and marketing, and technology
tto classical systems, innovation is to be observed and sensed clearly.
It has been aimed in this study to find out about the positions of both
Turkey and other countries with reference to 2017 World Innovation
Indicators. With this respect, through the consideration of 61
innovation indicators (including the indictors for main groups) where
all countries and cities are taken into account, analysis of the data
for 119 countries was carried out through hierarchical clustering, one
of the statistical methods with multiple variables. As is understood,
countries, involved in this analysis process, were all clustered in 9
different groups, and Turkey has been observed to occupy in the 3rd
group with Argentina, Brasil, Colombia, Peru, Russia, Saudi Arabia,
Ukraine, Chile, China, Malesia, Mexico, South Africa, Tailand, The
United Arab Emirates and Vietnam. In the 5th group, where the leading
countries in classification of innovation index are available, there
exist the countries; Australia, Austria, Belgium, Canada, Denmark,
Finland, France, Germany, Ireland, Israel, Italy, Japan, Korea, Holland,
New Zealand, Norway, Singapore, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, England and
America. With this regard, twenty (20) basic subjects that we
demonstrated insufficient performance about were identified after a
consideration of the differences between index averages of countries in
5th group and that of Turkey.... Show more Show less
