    The limits of R&D internationalization and the importance of local initiatives: Turkey as a critical case
    (Pergamon-Elsevier Science Ltd, 2011-08) Karabağ, Solmaz Filiz; Tuncay Çelikel, Aslı; Berggren, Christian
    The growth of R&D in East Asia has triggered the notion of a new innovation geography, where R&D is no longer a privilege of the traditional OECD countries. What does this mean for mid-sized emerging economies, without the scale advantages and bargaining power of India or China? This paper uses Turkey as a case to examine the continual unevenness of international R&D investments. By analyzing opportunities and limitations for local initiatives in the telecommunications, pharmaceutical, and automotive industries the paper finds that active private capital, a sufficient scale of production, and focused public policies are needed to attract international R&D.

    The electric car revolution capabilities of the multinational car manufacturers and the important role of the governments
    (RADMA, 2011-06-30) Tuncay Çelikel, Aslı; Tunzelmann, Nick von
    Nowadays multinational car manufacturers’ main concern is to develop fuel-efficient cars with fewer emissions. Recently some automotive manufacturers have already developed hybrid electric vehicles (HEVs) and electric vehicles (EVs). Some governments are providing incentives to R&D projects for electric cars and EV charging points/filling stations. For all these efforts, there have been very little to show for the outcomes as far as electric vehicles are concerned over the past century during which they have been under development. Why is the case? The fault is usually attributed to failings on the supply side, namely weaknesses of technological ‘stretch-out’ especially in regard to the batteries. We look in turn at supply capabilities, production capabilities and consumer capabilities, to reassess the dynamic capabilities associated with their interaction; to find that it is a combination of all three that best explains the long delay associated with the introduction of this technology and complex product system.
