Partially privatization of MKE would be good. Problem is if Goverment has a finger in it. They tend to abuse their authority, especially in a country like Turkey.
Any kind of change would require many years or hard work to improve.
Privatize to whom? Public or a company? MKE is an tekel. Any private company who get ownership likely would do minimal investment possible and pocket the money. First fire the partisan board members, anyone who wouldn't be able to be in that position under normal conditions. Replace them with ex-defence industry, military etc. employees. Open a analytics, strategic planning office for the company. Hire engineers from diaspora to give company more international vision in order to achieve success in both international government and civilian markets. Establish one of the best intern/job programs for new engineers and technical vocational schools. Open design office in Istanbul, more talent pool, also good place to start naval division.
I think vocational school etc. is a great idea along with intern and job etc. But like you said it'd be best to have ex military guys in the company even on the board, and take it from there.
Does Komaksan produce to defense industry. I think it's pretty awesome that they're exporting to 92 countries and provide aftersale services.
Our company exports its products to 92 different countries on 6 continents and provides after-sale services through 15 international distributors.

I actually wanted to start a thread about education, and a list of technical vocational studies that could be good to consider if you want to/chance to work in defense industry. But I'm an economist so can't really say I have much to contribute
btw, awesome promo video
