PORTER’S DIAMOND MODEL AND THE COMPETITIVENESS OF THE TURKISH DEFENSE INDUSTRY

Summary/Abstract: Turkish Defense Industry is the locomotive of the national technology move. However, there is a need to develop strategies in line with the national strategic objectives to increase the contribution of the defense industry to the national competitive edge. The ever-changing environmental and technological conditions and advances in the understanding of defense and security make it necessary to update vision for the defense industry. Porter’s diamond model has become a generally accepted and frequently used model in terms of providing a more systematic and disciplined perspective in the context of competition strategies, promoting the creation of a value chain on a sectoral basis and supporting national competitiveness. Towards this end, the aim of this study is to analyze Turkey’s defense industry’s competitiveness by means of Porter’s diamond model and present a future perspective. The reports of the Defense Industry Presidency and the Defense Industry Association have been systematically examined and analyzed.
