Özet:

 


The increasing role of SMEs in Turkish export with the share of 60 per cent has deepened the need to better understand which factors and to what extend affect export propensity of SMEs. In this paper, the focus will be on the relationship between exportation and innovation, particularly knowledge-based innovation, as a significant driving factor. The data were retrieved from KOSGEB and the result of the analysis demonstrated a significant relationship. However, the effect of innovation on export in SMEs began decreasing noticeably after the firm reaches a certain level in R&D intensity, which was also observed.
