Abstract

This study
aims to explore the relationship between different types of collaborations and
organizational innovation
in technoparks. Data was collected through survey from Yıldız
Technical University
Technopark,
Istanbul, Turkey employers and employees. Implications of this study
may contribute to better understanding of collaborations that improve
innovative activities in technoparks. The results of the study shows
that collaboration of firms with university has
significant effect on behavioural innovation and strategic
innovation; collaboration of
firms with each other has significant effect on product-marketing innovation,
and their
collaboration
with Technopark Administrative Office has
significant effect
on strategic innovation. It is also found that firms collaborate mostly with university and technopark administrative office, and
that the most frequently
observed type of innovation in technopark is behavioural innovation. According
to findings, technopark companies do not very
often make collaborations with university or other parties. However, they are found to have a good level understanding and application of innovation. It is also worth examining the other sources of innovation in technoparks
rather
than collaborations.
