Innovation policies and national innovation systems are the main determinant of countries development level. Innovative public procurement is an exceptional role among innovation policies. In this study examined innovative public procurement in the context of institutional approach. According to institutional approach countries’ innovation capacities are affected by formal and informal institutions and innovative public procurement process can be understood as a set of institutions with a particular inter-relationship between governmental institutions as a buyer and private firms as a suppliers. Therefore, government should set the rules for innovative public procurement process. Government should establish the formal rules for legal infrastructure, tender methods awarded to the firms offering innovative solutions, lead to firms for adequate and more effective level of R&D activities and increase competition in the market. On the other hand, government should give the sufficient importance to innovative solutions in public procurement process.

Kurumsal Yaklaşım Perspektifinden İnovasyon ve Yenilikçi Kamu Alımları

Öz

İnovasyon politikaları ve ulusal inovasyon sistemleri ülkelerin gelişmişlik düzeyini belirleyen temel faktördür. Yenilikçi kamu alımları inovasyon politikaları arasında müstesna bir role sahiptir. Bu çalışmada yenilikçi kamu alımları kurumsal yaklaşım çerçevesinde incelenmiştir. Kurumsal yaklaşıma göre ülkelerin inovasyon kapasiteleri formel ve enformel kurumlar tarafından etkilenmekte ve kamu alım süreci; devletin satın alıcı, firmaların ise tedarikçi olarak aralarında belirli bir etkileşimin olduğu kurumlardan oluşmaktadır. Dolayısıyla devlet, yenilikçi kamu alım sürecine ilişkin kuralları düzenlemelidir. Devlet, yenilikçi kamu alım süreçlerinin hukuki altyapısını, yenilikçi çözümler sunan firmaları ödüllendiren ihale yöntemlerini, firmaların yeterli ve daha etkin düzeyde Ar-Ge faaliyetlerine yöneltecek ve piyasadaki rekabeti artıracak formel kuralları oluşturmalıdır. Diğer taraftan devlet, kamu alım süreçlerinde yenilikçi çözümlere gereken önemi vermelidir.
